St. Michael's is a wonderful place to celebrate your big day!
If you would like your wedding in the church you will need to be resident in the parish; attend church regularly (you must attend at least once a month for a period of eight months prior to the wedding); or have a 'qualifying connection' which might be, for example, that your parents were baptised or married in the church, or a grandparent had attended regularly in the past. Further details are available if you are unsure.
We are happy to marry those who have found new love after a previous marriage. However, there are separate protocols for this. The Vicar will wish to speak with you as a couplebefore any further planning or preparation can take place.
At the moment we are unable to offer same sex marriages under the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act, 2013. Further information is available by copying and pasting the link below. The hurt caused to couples by this national position is much regretted.

In 2022/23 a wedding at St. Michaels costs approximately £800.00.
HOW YOU REGISTER YOUR MARRIAGE AND RECEIVE YOUR MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE HAS CHANGED. THE VICAR WILL ADVISE ON WHAT THE NEW SYSTEM REQUIRES.
Banns can be called in the 3 clear weeks before the wedding and a Common Licence should only be issued if this is not possible.
