Thinking of getting married?

Many Congratulations!

Marrying in church is personal, meaningful, spiritual and beautiful, just as you want it to be. ​Discover all you need to know about Church of England weddings and blessings here.

 

We will help you prepare carefully for your marriage, both logistically and emotionally. You don’t have to be religious to have a Church of England wedding. Anyone is welcome to have a Church of England wedding, regardless of their beliefs, as we understand that ‘spiritual beliefs are complex and varied’.

​

Certain things must happen in a church wedding to ensure the marriage complies with both UK civil and church law. In marriage, you take on a whole new legal status. The Vicar knows how to advise and prepare you for your wedding day, and everything must comply with all relevant UK and Church of England laws.

More details about legal requirements can be found here.

​

You can get married at our church if where either of you is on the church’s electoral roll. You can also get married in church to which you have a connection, such as:

• Either of you lived in that church’s parish for six months or more

• One of you regularly attended worship in that parish for six months or more

• Either of you were baptised or prepared for confirmation in the parish

• One of your parents lived in the parish/regularly attended our worship

• Your parents or grandparents were married in the parish

If you attend services at your chosen church for six months – even if you only attend a single service a month – that can help your case.
