If you are considering getting married in a church, St. Peter’s Church or St Mary's Chapel at Newstead Abbey are great venues. For all that’s legally required a church wedding can cost less than £600… there are obviously extras that you can add to this but it doesn’t have to cost a fortune.
Both are very different venues. The Abbey Chapel offers a small venue within Newstead Abbey and St Peter’s Church is a modern larger space.
A church is so much more than a wedding venue. God will be there with you to bless you – on the day and always. It’s a spiritual, personal and beautiful ceremony which you can personalise. If you would like to look at a what a church wedding can offer then visit www.yourchurchwedding.org
