 Procedure

It is your responsibility to contact the Parish Office (01304 366605 or  parishoffice) at least 12-14 weeks before the wedding date to make an appointment to complete the arrangements for your wedding.   

 Banns of Marriage

If one or both of you do not live in the Parish you must contact the vicar of the other parish(s) to have the Banns called there.  This is a legal requirement and the wedding cannot take place if the Banns have not been called.  It is your responsibility to make this arrangement.  After the calling of the Banns the vicar will issue a certificate of Banns for you to give me before the wedding day, usually at the rehearsal. This costs £54 payable to the parish where they are called.

 Flowers

To discuss flowers ask at your meeting with the Rector for the contact details for the relevant church.  It is customary for flowers to be left in the church after the wedding.

 Video

Many couples like to have their wedding recorded by video.  I have no objections, but those operating the recorder must be sensitive to the ceremony and must arrange where the recorder stands with me.  A copyright form and licence must be obtained prior to the day. 

 Paying for your wedding. 

The Organist and Bell ringers would normally be paid in cash on the day

Fees should be paid at least two weeks before the wedding, including for heating if appropriate. Payment can be paid by internet payment to
