Weddings

We would be delighted to explore your wedding or wedding blessing at St Mary’s. As you begin planning your service, we recommend visiting this website first to answer some of your initial questions: www.yourchurchwedding.org 

There are two main ways you can get married in a Church of England church, one is by Banns and the other is by common license.  Most people in the UK can get married in their parish church by Banns.

If you live in the parish of St Mary’s and would like to be married by Banns, we would be very happy to read your banns in our services. 

We would also highly recommend the Pre-Marriage Course. Whether you are planning your future together or have recently got engaged, The Pre-Marriage Course is designed for couples considering marriage and wishing to build a strong and lasting relationship. While based on Christian principles, it is relevant and helpful for any couple with or without a Christian faith or church background.

For more information on getting married at St Mary’s, the Pre-Marriage Course, or having your banns read at St Mary’s, please email office@smwk.org
