A wedding in St. John's

A wedding is one of life's great moments, a time of solemn commitment as well as good wishes, feasting and joy.

The patron saint of our church is Saint John and it is in John's Gospel that we hear how Jesus shared in the celebration of a wedding in the village of Cana, and turned water into wine - a sign of God's transformative love for us.

Marriage is intended by God to be a loving, creative relationship, and by seeking God's blessing we pray that a new husband and wife will love and support each other in good times and in bad, and share in the care and upbringing of children. For Christians, marriage is also a way of sharing together in the life of Christ.

Can you be married in Saint John's?

Whether or not we are allowed to marry you depends largely upon where you live. Church of England weddings were traditionally limited to the parish church of either the bride or groom, however it would also be possible for you to marry in St. John's if either of you has lived here in the past, or have another "Qualifying Connection", of which there are several - check these on the Church of England website or contact us - and you can also qualify by regular attendance.

Fees vary slightly, depending on the some of the optional expenses.
