Congratulations on your engagement and forthcoming wedding! We would love to be a part of your special day here at St Alban's.
Getting married in church can be a very special occasion, and we will work with you to create a service that is beautiful and meaningful. We have a wonderful space, and have an audio-visual system which means that we can record or livestream your wedding too. We can offer help with flowers and music, and will spend time getting to know you so that the service is as personal as possible. We also have a wonderful peal of bells!
In all of this we will seek God's blessing on your married life together.
Anyone living in the parish has a right to be married here -- you don't have to be a member of our church family, although we'd love you to join us. Our parish map can be found here. We also seek to welcome couples who have been married before, and will do our very best to make any children feel included and involved.
If you live outside the parish you would need to have a certain connection with the church, such as
you were baptised in the parish,
you or your parents (in your lifetime) lived in the parish,
you have habitually worshipped in the parish for at least 6 months,
or your parents or grandparents were married in the parish.
Please contact us to enquire about getting married with us using the form below. We have a comprehensive booklet you can download here or you can ask for a printed copy from our parish office. Do check out the Church of England's information about getting married in church, which includes a downloadable Wedding Planner. We have a list of options to be included in your wedding you can choose from here, and you can also find out more about changes in the way marriages are registered here.
We'd love to hear from you!
