A hundred couples will be marking one of their most special days of their lives for just £100 at a wedding venue that has hosted stars such as Sir Paul McCartney and Cilla Black.
As part of the 100th anniversary celebration of the Old Marylebone Town Hall on Marylebone Road, seven ceremonies an hour will be held on October 1 for 100 couples at the heavily discounted price.
The hall has hosted ceremonies for notable figures such as Oasis singer Liam Gallagher, Beatles drummer Ringo Starr and actor Sean Bean.
Fellow Liverpudlian Cilla Black married her manager Bobby Willis at the town hall in 1969.
Sir Paul McCartney actually marked the special occasion there twice, as he first married Linda Eastman there in 1969 and used the hall again for his third wedding with Nancy Shevell in 2011.
Gallagher likewise was married twice at the hall, first with actress Patsy Kensit in 1997 and then with Nicole Appleton in 2001.
Couples will be able to bring up to eight guests and two pets as they tie the knot, with ceremonies taking place from 8am to 10.30pm.
One person, who wanted to remain anonymous, said: “I always associate the Old Town Hall with the Beatles and the 1960s, and the photos caught my eye.
“Both my fiancé and I will be 64 when we get married so it seemed a perfect match. ‘When I’m 64’ won’t be our music choice, but it very nearly was!”
Another said that after the big day, they will go on an afternoon tea bus and are saving up to a bucket list honeymoon to Mauritius with the money saved.
Cllr Ryan Jude, Westminster Council's cabinet member for climate, ecology and culture, said: “We are thrilled to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Old Marylebone Town Hall, a venue that holds historical and cultural significance for Westminster.
“This milestone is not just a reflection of the building’s rich past, but also a celebration of the diverse couples who will be creating new memories here.
“I am excited to see so many people with personal ties to Westminster come together to mark this occasion. We look forward to continuing the tradition of love at this iconic venue for many more years to come.”
