Contact the Church Office

Sometimes people are in unusual circumstances or think that the church wouldn't be interested, it's worth contacting us. We promise that we won't be judgmental and we will do everything we can to help you have the day you dream of. However you come to All Saints we hope that you will always feel welcome.

The Marriage service is an act of worship and will need planning in detail long before the big day. This page is mainly about how to book a service.

To be married at All Saints:

BANNS OF MARRIAGE:

Banns are an announcement of your intention to marry and a chance for anyone to put forward a reason why the marriage may not lawfully take place.

Banns need  to be read in the Parish where each of you lives as well as the church in which you are to be married, if that is another Parish.

You must have your Banns read out in church for three Sundays (during our 10.00am Service at All Saints) during the three months before the wedding.  This is often done over three consecutive Sundays, but does not have to be.

Most couples try to get along to hear their Banns being read at least once.  Normally, one of you will live in our Parish (please see the map to check if your road is showing). There is no need for the dates of calling the Banns to be the same in both churches. 

FLOWERS:

You can chose to either arrange for flowers yourself or through Pat George, our Flower Co-ordinator.  Pat will be pleased to give you advice, this being particularly important in case there is more than one wedding on the same day.

BELLS:

All Saints has a set of eight hand rung chimes.  If you would wish them rung, this can be arranged (subject to availability) through Ian, our Vicar. 

SEATING:

All Saints seats between 90 and 100 people.  We can also supply about 30 extra seats if necessary. 

DISABLED ACCESS AND SEATING:

Disabled guests are accommodated easily within the body of the church.  Disabled access is via the Community Hall entrance (joined directly to the church).  We have a toilet for disabled use.  Unfortunately, we don't have a wheelchair available.  Please make sure Ian, our Vicar, is aware that you might have a guest who will want to use this entrance. 

SERVICE SHEETS:

Although not necessary, you are welcome to bring your own individualised service sheets.  Don't forget that you will need to organise the layout and printing with a printer in plenty of time. 

CONFETTI:

Confetti is permitted.

PHOTOGRAPHS AND VIDEO:

Photographs are not permitted during the service itself.  Your official photographer is welcome to take photos during the signing of the Registers and as the couple come down the aisle on leaving the church.  Please Note:  Photographs are not permitted during the service itself. 

An Official Video is permitted from a fixed point only, agreed with the Vicar before the actual day of the ceremony.  Due to Copyright laws, an extra fee has to be levied.

HYMNS AND MUSIC:

The service provides for up to three hymns/songs.  The Vicar will put you in contact with the Organist/Pianist if you wish.  A hymn book can be borrowed upon request, to help you make your choice of songs.  A choir is available, subject to availability. 

THE MARRIAGE SERVICE:

The format of your Wedding Service will be discussed with you when you meet with Rev. Ian.

PARKING:

All Saints Church has a car park adjoining the church and hall available for use by your wedding guests.  There is usually some parking in the side streets near the church should there be insufficient parking on-site. 

FEES:

As with most things in life, there are fees attached to getting married in Church.  You will be given a detailed list of the fees at your first interview.   Most of these are set by the Church of England's Table of Parochial Fees.  Before, or at the second interview, is the best time for fees to be paid. Your cheque should be made payable to All Saints PCC.  Fees are as follows (as at 1st January 2007):

Detailed advice about marriage law can be found at the Church of England Website:  http://www.cofe.anglican.org/lifeevents/weddings/ . (Just click 'cancel' when asked for a username and password)

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.  I look forward to meeting with you and getting to know you as you plan and prepare for your Wedding Day.
