    Im getting married in a few weeks in a registry office in Dublin.
    Just wondering how does the whole thing work. Is there a waiting area for guests or do we all go into the room together? How long does it last? And they advised we can have music etc. As there is probably no isle to walk down when does the music get played ?and if I want music do I bring a CD or MP3?
    Are there other cermonys on at the same time and is it all rushed?
    Thanks in advance.

    Did you discuss any of your arrangements with the Registry Office?

    Generally, they're fine with music/readings as long as there's no religious content. Might be an idea to check with the registrar your planned music and readings just to make sure.

    Depending on the venue, there may very well be more ceremonies during the day. Did you check with your venue that would be the case? CC's generally don't last that long - max of 45 mins in the UK where I'm from and that's pushing it! Most of the the CC's I've been to lasted 15-20 mins, but don't know the form here.

    Hi, I got married at Registry Office in Central Dublin a couple of years ago, it was a lovely ceremony (30 mins + time for photo's), in a lovely auditorium type room (I had 30 guests) with an aisle.

    It was so user friendly that the Registrar came out as far as the car I arrived in to see that the bridal party were all assembled (himself was inside looking for an emergency exit:P). Give them a call re music, vows, vestibule for assembled guests and anything you may want on the day, I am sure they will be very helpful. We just asked them to play something appropriate musicwise for my arrival and they did..........quite nice choral number. The only thing I was acutely aware of, is don't be late, you have an appointment and you wouldn't want to delay any other's "Big Day" also if you are late, they will shorten your slot, not the one to follow, only fair....Also, No confetti at all, I used soapy bubbles for my guests on leaving and I really would not have wanted to arrive to the detrius of the wedding party before mine.....Good luck and enjoy your day:D:D:D 3rd Wedding Anniversary next month and we're still talking ;)

    ^^ This. You CANNOT be late for a civil ceremony, there's no "it's tradition for the bride to be late". Be late and it will impact on YOUR ceremony as they have set appointments for conducting weddings during the day.
