Weddings at St Peter ad Vincula, Coggeshall

Love is something worth celebrating, and we can't think of many better reasons to fill a church with joy!

Congratulations on your engagement!

Whether you're dreaming of a grand celebration with all the bells and whistles, or something a little quieter and more intimate, we'd be delighted to help you explore getting married at St Peter ad Vincula.

Our beautiful, historic church has been part of people's lives and love stories for generations, and it would be a privilege to be part of yours.

Can we get married at St Peter's?

You don't need to be a regular churchgoer, have all the answers about faith, or consider yourself particularly religious to explore having a church wedding.

If you live in Coggeshall or one of our surrounding parishes, or have a qualifying connection with St Peter's, you may be eligible to marry here.

There are some legal requirements for marrying in a Church of England church, but please don't let that put you off enquiring. We're very happy to explain everything and help you discover what might be possible.

And if you've been married before, please don't assume that a church wedding isn't an option. We are happy to explore marriage in church following divorce, and the vicar will arrange a friendly, confidential conversation with you about your circumstances.

Making your wedding your own

Your wedding is about the two of you: your love, your hopes, and the life you're choosing to build together.

A church wedding is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate all of that in the presence of God, surrounded by the people who matter most to you.

We'll help you think about the service, the music, the readings and all those little details that make the day feel truly yours.

And whether you've been coming to church for years or haven't set foot inside one since your school nativity play, you can be assured of a warm welcome!

Let's talk weddings!

St Peter's is a popular place to get married, so we encourage you to get in touch as early as possible, particularly if you have a specific date in mind.

Our wedding coordinator will be delighted to help with enquiries about available dates, fees and the arrangements for getting married here.

We look forward to hearing from you and, hopefully, helping you begin this exciting new chapter together.

After all, a wedding is one beautiful day. A marriage is a lifetime of love, friendship, laughter, forgiveness and discovering what it means to walk through life together. And we'd love to help you celebrate the beginning of it.
