Planning your wedding
Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting things a couple can do, and we are delighted to help as much as we can.
If you are interested in getting married at St Peter & St Paul, please contact Carol Walters (Parish Administrator) on 07956 026829 or by email
Can you get married in our churches?
There are legal restrictions on who can get married in churches.
Do you live in our parish?
Anyone who lives within the boundaries of the parish is welcome to have their wedding at the church. The button below takes you to the Church of England site where you can enter your post code and see if you live within the parish.
If either of you have been previously married, you will need to have an informal interview before definite plans can be made.
Do you have a connection to the parish?
You can marry at Ss Peter & Paul if you have what is called a “Qualifying Connection” to the parish. You have such a connection if you:
- were baptized in the parish (which could include St Michael’s, or even the General Hospital)
- were prepared for Confirmation by the parish
- have ever resided for at least six months in the parish
- have ever habitually attended worship in the parish for at least six months
- have or had a parent who ever resided for at least six months in the parish
