How much will it cost?
Don’t confuse a wedding in church with what has become known as a ‘white wedding’.
Once the legal formalities have been completed all that is required for a church wedding to proceed is that :
Bride and groom come to church at the agreed time.
They bring two witnesses with them
The Vicar acts as the Registrar.
The cost of such a wedding, including the legal formalities before the ceremony and the marriage certificate is £262.50 this year.
However the couple may wish to have the organist to play before, during and after the service; they may decide that they would like to have the bells; and there are other options which they can choose to incorporate into their service.
We are permitted, by law, to charge a fee for any additional service we provide, so for a wedding with organ, bells and service sheets the cost, including the legal fees and marriage certificate, is £480 in 2007.
When one or both of the couple have a partner from a previous marriage still living, the parish policy is not to solemnize a wedding service but to offer a service of prayer and thanksgiving.
