Weddings at St Columba's
We love weddings and wedding blessings!
We are always delighted when couples choose to be married or have their wedding blessed at St Columba's. We'll work with you to ensure that the service is unforgettable for all the right reasons and the highlight of the day.
Arranging a wedding is a big practical undertaking and we’ve pulled together lots of the information you need in the section below – but we’ll be with you every step of the way - the best thing to do is get in touch with us for a conversation.
With lots to do, it’s very easy to get lost in the details and forget the importance of the day itself. We encourage all our couples to spend time reflecting on this important change in their lives and planning their future life together and not just the wedding day itself and we’d really like to welcome you to church so you can spend some time with God and with us before your day!
Who can get married at St Columba’s?
You can easily be married here if you can say yes to any of the following:
- this is the parish where you were baptised and/or confirmed
- you have lived in this parish for 6 months or more, at any time during your lives
- you have attended worship in this parish for at least 6 months
- this is the parish where your parents have lived or worshipped during your lifetime
- your parents or grandparents were married in this parish
What if none of the above fit?
If you can't say yes to any of the above but would like to get married at St Columba's then you have two options@
- You can start worshipping with us regularly and after a period of 6 months you will meet the legal criteria.
- You could do the legal bit at the Registry Office and then come along to us for a blessing after a civil ceremony… it can look exactly like a wedding – just leaving out the legal bit!
