We had such a lovely time at Stockport Register Office’s showcase 💍✨ It was amazing to see so many inspiring local businesses come together — and even better to watch how supportive everyone was of each other throughout the day. That sense of community really made it special 🤍 A special mention to Fernanda at @moyacolevintageandbridal for showcasing their stunning mix of vintage and modern bridal and men’s wear — absolutely beautiful pieces! Thank you as well to all the incredible local businesses who contributed to our goodie bags — such a thoughtful touch that didn’t go unnoticed 🎁 We met so many lovely couples and hope you all enjoyed meeting our wonderful registrars as much as we enjoyed chatting with you! We’re here for all of your special moments — from marriage ceremonies to vow renewals and baby naming celebrations 💫 Just some of the local businesses who supported us are : @stockportjewelleryschool @thomasdemolphotographie @tipsybakesuk @sweetbudflorals @catherinemackeytc @luxenailshb @urbanbloom.floral_studio @silversixpenceinher @christyphotography_uk @moyacolevintageandbridal @moyacolehospice @msstaceyvocals @kerryrandallhair @tbsstockport @carolinescardswithsmiles Also Lisa Allott for the pretty crocheted hearts and Meant to be flowers and events for showcasing their lovely floral memories 👏👏 #StockportWeddings #registry #stockport

Community Bereavement Event – Sale Town Hall Tuesday 5th May 10:30am-4pm
Please do come along to the event where there will be stall holders from local organisations, grief counselling, legal advice and community support, there are also talks being held throughout the day.
At 1pm, we are hosting a Home Care talk. Come along to listen to representatives from Home Instead and Bluebird Care who will talk about all aspects of care at home. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions at the end of the talk.

We’re excited to introduce our new monthly “Meet the Registrar” series 🎉 Each month, we will be spotlighting one of our incredible registrars—sharing their journey, insights, and the amazing work they do every day. It’s a chance for you to get to know the people behind the scenes, celebrate their achievements, and learn more about what makes our fabulous team so special. Today we are introducing our wonderful Deputy Registrar Rachel Newton 💙 Originally from Belfast, Rachel moved to England 23 years ago and has built both her life and career here. She’s been a registrar for 9 years, starting her journey in Manchester before bringing her experience to Stockport 4 years ago. For Rachel, the heart of the role is people. She’s especially passionate about supporting families through loss during death registrations, offering care and compassion when it’s needed most. At the same time, she finds real joy in conducting ceremonies in a wide range of beautiful venues, helping couples create meaningful and memorable moments. Rachel says it best: “The customers are my passion—I like to make a difference when I can.” Whether that’s guiding someone through a difficult time or helping arrange something as special as a deathbed marriage. Outside of work, Rachel has been married to her husband Lee for 13 years and is a proud mum to her 17-year-old son, Benjamin. Home life is kept lively by their 6-year-old cocker spaniel, Raven, who’s always close by. 🥰 Stay tuned for our next meet the registrar ✨ #MeetTheRegistrar #TeamSpotlight #BehindTheScenes #stockportregistrars
