First, we need to be sure your wedding service can take place at St Mary’s. Both of you normally have to be at least 18 years old, although you can be married from the age of 16 with the consent of your parents. Provided neither of you has been married before or has a former spouse still living, you are entitled to be married in St Mary’s if: (i) either of you lives in the Parish or, (ii) if you live outside the Parish, if either of you is an active, worshipping member of St Mary’s or, (iii) where either of you has a family or special connection.

'Qualifying connections' for couples are: if one of you was baptised or prepared for confirmation in the Parish; if one of you has lived in the Parish or regularly attended public worship here for at least six months; if one of your parents has lived in the Parish or regularly attended church services at St Mary’s for six months or more in your lifetime; or if your parents or grandparents were married in the Parish.

Once we are sure you can be married here, you can book the church. However, please check with us before confirming your Reception booking, or other arrangements, as sometimes the church may not be available on the day or at the time you would prefer. You can book the church by contacting the church office.
