As the setting for your wedding, we think you’ll find it hard to improve on St Mary’s. Such a magnificent backdrop is bound to make it a massively memorable occasion. And you can even use this remarkable space to host your reception afterwards!
Why a church wedding? Well, a wedding speaks volumes about tradition and you will be the latest in a long line of couples who have made their vows at St Mary’s. There’s nothing like doing things the time-tried and tested way. Many couples discover how ‘spiritual’ an event a wedding is. What better setting for it than in a church, in the presence of God, as well as family and friends?
In order to be married at St Mary’s there are various criteria that the Church of England require be satisfied. These can be found at https://www.yourchurchwedding.org/. If either of you can attest to ever having lived in the parish (which can be checked at https://www.achurchnearyou.com/), or if you have a family connection (eg. if any of your family have been married, baptised, or confirmed here in the past) then we can proceed. Another way to fulfil the criteria could be to attend the church regularly for at least 6 months prior to booking your wedding.
Once done, we will work with you to make sure the service is personal, to include the things which are important to you.
If cost is a consideration, we’ll work with you to make sure the cost of your wedding does not get out of hand. Despite the size of St Mary’s church, our wedding fees are the same as any other church – currently £531.
