Arranging your marriage in the Six Villages

If you live within one of the six parishes, have a close pastoral connection with the churches, or regularly attend services here then do please make contact with us about the services of Baptism or Marriage.
You can find out which is your local parish church at A Church Near You. 

PLEASE USE THE FORM BELOW to make an initial enquiry about booking your wedding.

Marriage
This Church of England website Your Church Wedding has lots of helpful information about preparing for marriage. 
We organise a special preparation event for couples who are getting married in our churches, and provide information and help with the content of the service, the choice of music, and the life you will share together as husband and wife.

Your marriages can take place at in our churches if one of the criteria listed below, under the guidelines set out by the Church of England, is fulfilled.  Under these guidelines a couple may be married here if either of you can show one of the seven connections with the parishes. 

That one of you:

• was baptised in the parishes; or 
• was prepared for confirmation in the parishes; or
• has at any time lived in the parish for a period of at least 6 months; or
• has at any time regularly gone to normal church services in the parish church for a period of at least 6 months and is on the electoral roll*

That one of your parents, at any time after you were born:

• has lived in the parish for a period of at least 6 months; or 
• has regularly gone to normal church services in the parish church for a period of at least 6 months and been on the electoral roll* 

That one of your parents or grandparents: 

• was married in the parishes.

* The electoral roll is our membership list, made up of those who worship here regularly. People can join the electoral roll once they have attended a church regularly for six months, and if they intend to continue doing so.

Wedding Preparation Workshop
​Each year our wedding couples are invited to participate in a fun and informal preparation session, run by Caroline, our Licensed Lay Minister.
This is an opportunity to explore your own thoughts and attitudes to marriage, to think about what a church wedding means, and to consider the important components of your wedding day. It is also a chance to share experiences and suggestions with other couples.

Our brides and grooms get much more out of the workshop than they expect to!
