Planning your wedding?

 

We love holding weddings in our churches,  supporting you in planning your special day and considering your commitment to marriage. Please read on to discover the steps towards getting married in our churches. 

Enquire and book

Contact the Benefice Office to discuss your initial dates and ideas and arrange your first meeting.  Further information from our wedding booklet is available here and there is more information available the Church of England's website


Meetings 

Meet with the Priest to discuss your plans for your day and legalities. As Church of England Priests act as the Registrar, we arrange the legalities of your marriage including the reading of Banns of Marriage leading up to your ceremony.

Planning meetings: At these we consider readings, hymns, music, poetry for your service. There is also the opportunity to attend one of our Marriage Preparation workshops.


During the week of wedding

Wedding rehearsal will be arranged, an opportunity to walk through the service with those who are involved, so that you feel fully relaxed and prepared for your big day.
