Your Wedding at All Saints
The vows you make are to love and cherish each other for the rest of your lives. Church is the best place to make such an important commitment.
To get married at All Saints you need to ensure that you are entitled to a wedding here, and check that a suitable date is available. We have a wedding booklet that is designed to give you all the information you need at this stage.
Each year, the Church holds a Marriage Preparation Day, to which all couples are invited. There are some lively presentations about married life, as well as an opportunity to listen to wedding music and sort out some practical details.
THE FIRST STEP…
If you want to consider having your marriage ceremony at All Saints, please contact our weddings administrator (click here for contact details). Please provide your names and postal address(es). We will send you our marriage information booklet which will explain things in more detail. We always respond to wedding enquiries as quickly as possible.
SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
| Q | Do we have to be baptised and church members? | |
| A | No, as long as you both recognise that it will be a Christian marriage, and that your vows will be made in the Name of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. | |
| Q | What if we live outside the Parish, even a long distance away? | |
| A | First of all, please consider all of the Church of England parishes in which you are entitled to be married because of an established connection. There is some helpful information on this website: www.yourchurchwedding.org (see: ‘More churches to choose from’). It is sometimes possible for people who do not have a connection with Thornton Hough to be married here; our marriage information booklet explains this in more detail. |
|
| Q | I am a Roman Catholic. Can I be married at All Saints? | |
| A | Yes, it is no different than any other marriage couple. If you wish to include any elements of a Roman Catholic ceremony, you must discuss this with the vicar before booking your wedding. | |
| Q | One of us has been married before. Can we get married in Church? | |
| A | This is possible, depending on the circumstances. Assuming you are legally divorced, you should discuss this the vicar who will consider this carefully and in confidence. | |
| Q | Can we have our reception in the Parish Hall? | |
| A | Yes. Please contact our Parish Hall administrator to make a booking (see the contacts page). You would need to arrange a catering company separately and we can advise on this. |
