Weddings

Many couples choose to celebrate their marriage not only surrounded by family and friends but also before God in a church building.

All our churches are available to couples for marriage, and also for services of Blessing following a Civil Marriage (or, perhaps, a marriage abroad). We also offer other related services, for instance Renewal of Vows to mark an Anniversary, the Dedication of New Rings, or to ask God's blessing following a difficult time in a relationship.

Christian marriage, as well as being a holy and joyful occasion is also a legal contract governed by the "Law of the Land". As such there are rules that have to be adhered to. The rules say that anyone* who lives in the Parish or who worships regularly here may choose to be married in one of the churches in the Parish. Recent changes in the law mean that other people who have a qualifying connection with the Parish are also able to be married here.

Services of Blessing and Dedication (either immediately following a marriage elsewhere, or at a later date) do not have the same "legal" status and are available to all who have a connection with the Parish or its Churches.

Calling of Banns

Those who are marrying in another Church of England church and need Banns of Marriage calling in any of our parishes should contact the church office to make the necessary arrangements.

 Fees

There is a fee for getting married in church.

To discuss the cost please contact the church office.

Please note that the fee payable will be that which is current at the date of the wedding, not at the date of booking.
