How many people may attend a Civil Ceremony at The Sessions House?
The Sessions House has three spaces approved for Civil Ceremonies. The Courtroom has seating for up to 80 seated guests, whilst the Emerald Room can accommodate 30. If you are getting married in Summer you may choose to have your Ceremony in our outdoor Courtyard, which can accommodate up to 100 guests.
How do we book a Registrar for our Civil Ceremony?
For your Civil Ceremony at The Sessions House, you must book a Registrar via the Lincolnshire County Council here. Our Weddings Team will be able to advise you on this when you book your Wedding with us.
May we have our Civil Ceremony elsewhere and only host our Reception at The Sessions House?
Of course! If you choose to have your Civil Ceremony elsewhere, we would still love for you to celebrate with us by holding your reception here at The Sessions House.
May children attend the Ceremony & Reception?
Children are always welcome at The Sessions House. We only ask that they have a parent or responsible adult looking after them. We have provided garden games for children and adults alike during the warmer months and can offer children's food and drink options.
May our dog attend the Ceremony & Reception?
While we do welcome dogs here at Norwood Park, only one dog may be present for the Ceremony in either the Drawing Room of the House or outside at the Bandstand.
Please ensure that your dog is supervised by either a friend or family member. The designated person must keep your dog on a lead at all times and be responsible to pick up after your dog in case nature calls, and they have a little accident!
Do ensure that your dog is onsite for a maximum of 2 hours, this will cover your Ceremony time and also provide plenty of time for some photographs afterwards. For health and safety reasons, we cannot allow pets in any other areas of Norwood Park, therefore your dog may not be present for the Drinks Reception or Wedding Breakfast. Should your dog cause any damage on the day, we will take a charge from your damage deposit.
Do you host micro-weddings or intimate celebrations?
Yes, we specialize in luxury micro-weddings for as few as 10 to 30 guests. Our Emerald Room and Magistrate’s Room provide grand, historic settings that feel full and atmospheric for smaller groups, avoiding the "empty hall" feeling of larger venues.
