St Albans Registry Office or ‘The Gatehouse’ as it is more commonly known, is a former Victorian prison. And one of the most popular registry offices in Hertfordshire.
The ceremony room accommodates up to 60 wedding guests. The paved outdoor space at the front of the building is perfect for confetti throws (& high heels). Its original doors with a 1840 siege cannon standing tall give the Registry Office a quirky feel compared to most Registry Offices. the And a garden area to the side of the building.
St Albans Registry Office is located opposite St Albans train station. There are also good parking facilities which are free, however, parking is limited on weekdays. As with many Registry Offices, commercial office buildings also share communal parking, and all vehicles are recorded and monitored. There are of course lots of other options for parking being so close to St Albans town. You need to pay for most parking facilities around St Albans, and traffic wardens are on regular patrol, so don’t get caught out!
REGISTRY OFFICE ST ALBANS
St Albans is a very busy and attractive market town. As a result, the Registry Office is a popular choice for lots of couples. In peak wedding season over the summer months expect it to be busy at weekends. If you are looking to have a longer time using their outdoor space you should consider quieter times at the end of the day, or during weekdays.
Overlapping weddings and use of the outdoor space have never been an issue in my experience, but it is something to consider when planning your day. The side gardens offer a modest outdoor space and are surrounded by a beautiful red brick backdrop, which looks great in photos.

St Albans Town Centre is a short walk or drive from the Registry Office, and has a huge choice of pubs and fine dining restaurants. This is ideal for couples looking for a low-key reception with their guests. There are also plenty of pubs and restaurants hiring private areas for larger reception parties. Equally, the grounds at St Albans Cathedral offer a great location for picnics. You really can tailor your wedding day exactly as you wish.
