If you are think­ing about hav­ing a Red House wed­ding, you would on­ly be able to in­vite just six guests or wit­ness­es for your big day.

A state­ment from the Red House, which is the Of­fice of the Par­lia­ment, ex­plained that mar­riages be­ing con­duct­ed there will be lim­it­ed to a to­tal of eight peo­ple on­ly as part of the wed­ding par­ty.

In the state­ment is­sued yes­ter­day, the cor­po­rate com­mu­ni­ca­tion de­part­ment said, “ the Of­fice of the Par­lia­ment is now open to fa­cil­i­tat­ing those mem­bers of the pub­lic who wish to be mar­ried at the Red House”.

How­ev­er, it stressed that the Red House is pri­mar­i­ly a place of busi­ness tra­versed by Mem­bers of the House of Rep­re­sen­ta­tives, the Sen­ate and the staff of the Par­lia­ment, and as such “mar­riage par­ties will be kept to a max­i­mum of eight per­sons (ex­clud­ing the Mar­riage Of­fi­cer).

This means that aside from the bride and groom, six oth­er per­sons will be al­lowed to at­tend the wed­ding.

And it said the mar­riages would be held on Mon­days, Thurs­days, Sat­ur­days and Sun­days in col­lab­o­ra­tion with the Reg­is­trar Gen­er­al’s Of­fice.

Mean­while, the state­ment said the Red House is al­so open to mem­bers of the pub­lic who wish to come in to view Sit­tings of the House of Rep­re­sen­ta­tives and the Sen­ate, as well as pub­lic Com­mit­tee meet­ings.

The state­ment said the Ro­tun­da has tra­di­tion­al­ly been a space where per­sons tra­versed from Aber­crom­by Street to St Vin­cent Street and it will be fash­ioned in­to an Art Gallery where the works of up and com­ing as well as promi­nent lo­cal artists will be show­cased.

In fact, ac­cord­ing to the state­ment, the first ex­hi­bi­tion will be of Car­ni­val art­works, while pub­lic tours of the House and Sen­ate Cham­bers will be­gin soon.
