bullet Christ Church is licensed for weddings. There is no need to contact the register office if you are marrying in Christ Church.
bullet You can normally get married in Christ Church if you live in or have a qualifying connection to Christ Church parish. If you don’t have any connections to the parish at present you can come regularly for six months (one of you at least once a month) and then you will qualify by being a member of the congregation. Please CLICK HERE for an explanation.
bullet Jesus taught that God’s ideal is for life-long marriage, but the Church of England recognises that, sadly, some marriages do break down irretrievably and, since 2002, it has officially offered marriage in church after divorce, within certain guidelines. In the first instance please contact Patrick to discuss this further. Patrick is willing to conduct weddings allowed by the guidelines. Please CLICK HERE for an information form.
bullet Prior to the wedding, we offer a marriage preparation day of fun and discussion, and a rehearsal a day or so before the event.
bullet The fee is dependent on a number of factors and either the clergy or the parishes office can advise you of the current rates.
bullet We add an additional fee to cover heating for weddings in the winter.
bullet There is now no fee for videoing the wedding.
bullet If you are getting married at another church and need to have your banns read at Christ Church please ring the Parishes Office on 01603 473646 or E-mail.
bullet For further details about fees please ring the Parishes Office on 01603 473646 or E-mail.
