Wedding guide

 

What forms of service? What about hymns and readings?

 

You can choose to have a modern language service, or one in more ‘traditional’ language – discuss this with the Vicar. We will give you an outline order of service, together with a list of suggested hymns and songs, and readings. Three hymns or songs is typical, and one or two readings (one reading must be from the Bible – all can be, one must be). The Vicar, or the organist, can advise on suitable hymns and songs, and the organist will advise you on music for the Bride’s entry, and for the departure of the Bride and Groom. You will also need to think about music during the signing of the Registers.

 

If you have friends or family members you would like to be involved in the service, for example by doing a reading, or leading the prayers, or playing a musical instrument, please discuss this with the Vicar.

 

What does a wedding at St Mary's cost?

 

Please discuss wedding fees with the church office. Additional fees are payable for extras such as the choir, church bells and candles.

 

Please note: if you wish to make an audio recording, the organist’s fee is increased by 50 per cent. If you wish to video your wedding the organist’s fee is doubled (the making of an audio or video recording requires the prior permission of the Vicar and the organist).

 

When do we pay?

 

From January 2008, we are asking for a deposit of £50 when the church booking is made. The balance of fees must be paid at least three weeks prior to your wedding date. Fees can be paid in cash or by cheque.
