Mechanics Institute: questions

Can you get married at Mechanics Institute?

Mechanics Institute is not on North Yorkshire Council's list of venues approved for civil ceremonies. Couples marry legally first, at a register office or an approved venue, then hold the reception here. A celebrant-led ceremony can be part of the day, but it is not a legal marriage on its own.
