The decision to get married is a life-changing one and perhaps one of the biggest decisions you will make in life. A church wedding recognises the significance of what you are doing and adds both solemnity and joy to the occasion. The ceremony includes God and looks to him for help and guidance. God’s blessing is the main attraction for many couples, whatever their beliefs.
All three of our churches are beautiful listed buildings and full of history. They provide a truly meaningful place of prayer in which to make your vows. If you are thinking of getting married at one of our churches in the benefice, we would love to talk to you.

Can I get married in church even if I’m not christened, or if I don’t go to church regularly?
Yes, of course! – we would love to hear from you.
How much will it cost?
Couples are often surprised to learn that a church wedding often costs less than a licenced wedding venue.
How do we book?
Our churches are popular wedding venues and weddings are often booked many months in advance, so it might be best to discuss dates with our Vicar Julie Clarkson before booking your wedding reception venue. Rev Julie’s contact details can be found here.
