Brides and grooms-to-be can get a first look at the fantastic new facilities available for weddings and wedding receptions at the newly refurbished Alloa Town Hall.
The town hall will be 'dressed' to show how it could look for your special day on Sunday 22nd May when the Council will hold an Open Day and Wedding Show.
The Show will be a chance to meet the members of the Council's Registration Service who can tell you more about the legal formalities of getting married.
Around 170 marriages take place in Clackmannanshire every year and over 60% of couples celebrate their happy day with a civil marriage performed by a Registrar. Civil marriages can be conducted either in the Registration Office in Alloa, or in certain designated halls such as Alloa Town Hall, or in another approved venue. Alloa Town Hall has a choice of rooms that can accommodate ceremonies of between 50 and 160 people, and receptions for up to 200.

Our staff will be on hand to show people the venue and talk them through the processes and procedures required, as well as many local businesses who can help make your big day special."
