Weddings
Marrying in church is personal, meaningful, and spiritual just as you want it to be. Churches are special and unique places to get married in - the prayers, promises and the whole service of celebration become part of your marriage, on the day itself and beyond.
A church is so much more than simply a venue for your wedding. Unique and special things become part of your marriage.

A church wedding will add a spiritual dimension to your marriage. 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.

You can make amazing vows, or promises, in a church. You can only make vows this big in a church. These vows, made in public, will help you to stay together and grow together. God and your church are there for you to help you keep your vows.

And after your wedding, you’ll realise that a church is more than simply a wedding venue. We’ll always be here for you!
If you choose to marry in church, it will be a day that is personal and special for you, but that need not mean you spend a fortune.
There is no doubt that the choices you make about your wedding day can make a huge impact on the total cost. Part of the cost will be for the legal fees, and everyone pays this. There are also optional extras which you can choose or decline, according to your budget.
