As we write this article it is nearly Valentine’s Day and Easter, a traditional time for weddings, will soon be upon us so love is in the air.

Would you like a church wedding? We have eight beautiful churches for you to choose from, each in one of our lovely villages. Have a look through this magazine for details of the parishes. Each church has its own character but whichever you choose, you are guaranteed a warm welcome and every assistance you need to make your big day run smoothly.

There are also some excellent venues for your wedding reception in the area.

We have a central system for all wedding administration making it easy to check availability and to complete your application form, including guidance on all the legal requirements.

Each of our churches has a person who leads on weddings and will be your main contact for all practical matters. They can arrange to show you round initially and then if you book that church, they will guide you through the months of planning, offering advice on everything you need to know about a wedding in that particular church.

Our own clergy team, along with local retired clergy, will be a great support to you in the run up to your wedding. The appointed clergy member will meet with you well in advance to go through all the arrangements and will arrange a rehearsal for you before the big day. On the day itself they will conduct a beautiful ceremony for you and your guests.

To make an initial inquiry please contact Elizabeth Jarrett, our Wedding Administrator on 07534 - 915068, email [email protected] or click on "Get in touch" on this page.

Bishop Matthew will be holding a Confirmation Service at All Saints’ Church, Sandon on Sunday 8th June. Confirmation is a special church service in which a person confirms the promises that were made when they were baptized. We already have two candidates but would love to have more. If any adults or children/young people 10 years of age or above would like to be confirmed or if you want to find out more about what is involved, please contact Rev’d Vivienne Starkie or the Churchwarden for your Parish.
Don’t worry if you are not yet baptised; we can arrange that too. We look forward to hearing from you.

We try to make our church services as friendly as possible. Please don’t worry about getting things ‘wrong’. Even if they notice, people won’t mind. At Communion services, everyone is equally welcome, whether you feel able to share the bread and wine or prefer just to stay seated for a time of quiet. Finally, we are interested in you, not what you are wearing.
