Getting married is one of the most important decisions we can ever make and of course the wedding itself is a very special day. Many people like to hold their wedding in church so that they can receive God’s blessing at the start of their married lives together.

If you have been previously married in a civil ceremony, even if it was some time ago, and would like a service of blessing, please contact a member of the clergy.

No two weddings are the same, and we will do everything we can to make the service about you, your love, and your commitment to one another.

If you wish to find out more about being married at St. Matthew and St. Luke's please contact Carol Richardson on 01325 243747 or email [email protected]

Prayers of Love and Faith

The rules of the Church of England currently do not allow us to conduct same sex weddings. We can however offer a ranges of prayers from the Church of England known as Prayers of Love and Faith where we pray with and for a same-sex couple who love one another and who wish to give thanks for and mark that love in faith before God. These prayers have to take place within an already existing service such as our Sunday morning 11am service. If you wish to know more about these prayers, please contact our clergy.

Renewal of Vows

There are certain times, such as a significant wedding anniversary, when it is good to make a special occasion out of the renewal of wedding vows. As with weddings, these are special days when we honour the love and commitment between two people. If this is something that you would like, please contact the clergy to discuss your plans.
