At Christ Church, we love supporting couples preparing for marriage in any way we can.

We see the wedding day as far more than just a one off celebration - it is a life-changing declaration before God, family and friends that you are committed to each other for life.

In the past few years Christ Church has seen lots of couples march along its aisle - weddings which have ranged vastly in size, type, look and feel. Here you can see a series of photos of one recent wedding at Christ Church.

If you are thinking of choosing Christ Church for your wedding day, please contact our vicar, the Revd Jay Colwill, who will be pleased to discuss this with you.

We have prepared a wedding guide to lead you through the process of getting married at Christ Church and give you an insight into what we can offer. It is our aim to help you prepare not only for what we hope will be a most special day, but for your marriage as a whole.

The guide also contains the wording of the marriage service, cost of fees, and some suggestions for hymns and readings you might want to choose. (Last updated Mar 2008):

As part of your wedding preparations we also encourage you to attend our Marriage Course which runs at Christ Church on a regular basis.

If you decide to get married at Christ Church you will need to complete a 'Banns of Marriage Application Form'.
