TESTIMONIALS

“The food was beautiful, many guests have commented to me on the quality of both the wedding breakfast and the evening buffet.

Neil and Amy could not have done any more for us, I didn’t have to worry about a thing all day as they kept me fully informed all the way through.

Everybody was super impressed with Aintree and its staff.”

MR & MRS SMYTH

“From the handling of our initial enquiry and throughout the day and night, our wedding was well organised and staff were helpful and friendly.

The food was excellent and all the guests agreed.”

LEANNE MORAN

“Thank you so much for all of your help organising and planning the day, and for all the staff’s hard work to make it so special, especially Amy who kept everything running.

The quality, presentation and service of the food was all fantastic – especially the evening buffet.”

CLAIRE & BEN POPE

“We cannot fault the catering and the staff, Sue was on hand for everything and looked after us so well, she made us feel very special and the day was fantastic.

From booking with Charlotte who was very helpful, to our actual day, Aintree was the best and perfect choice, well done and thank you.”

MR & MRS BENNETT

Giving notice means declaring that you and your partner are both free to marry each other and will require you to provide certain documents. You may do this up to one year before the date of your wedding. You will need to make an appointment to give notice with the Register Office in the district in which you live. You are both required to give notice.

To give a marriage notice you and your partner must have lived in England or Wales for seven clear days immediately before you give notice.

After giving notice you must allow at least fifteen clear days before you can marry. Your marriage must then take place within twelve months of the date you gave notice.

The Registrar will tell you when your authority to marry is due to be issued.

If you are marrying in a district different to the one in which you live, you will need to take the certificate to that district before the day of the wedding.

Call either Southport Register office on 0151 934 2012 or Crosby Register office on 0151 934 3045 for further details.
