Weddings
If you’re visiting our website as you explore getting married, we would be delighted if you’re thinking of a wedding ceremony in one of our churches. A wedding is one of life’s most significant events, and we’d love to help you make it a day to remember.
We warmly welcome enquiries from any couple considering a service of blessing in church after marriage in a Register Office. We’re here to help, so don’t hesitate to get in touch.
The Church of England relaxed its rules a few years ago about where it’s possible for you to marry. You have always been able to marry in your local parish church. The Church of England now enables marriage to take place at a church with which you have a historic connection. You’ll find detailed information regarding the qualifying criteria here, at Your Church Wedding.
If one, or both of you have been previously married and then divorced, there are some further questions to consider before we are able to proceed.
Added to this, the Your Church Wedding website contains a mine of useful information offering advice on every aspect of planning your wedding from the legal aspects, planning your reception, choosing hymns, poems and readings, to the wedding service itself. It’s well worth a look.
​
Remember, you’re not on your own; we’re here to help make your wedding day really special, and through drawing on our experience help you create a service in which your love for one another is fittingly celebrated.
There is also lots of useful information and ideas on the Church of England website:
