A church ceremony offers special features in comparison to other venues. There are some things about marrying in church that make your vows extra special:

- God’s blessing is an important factor for many couples, whatever their beliefs. If you'd like to add a spiritual element to your wedding ceremony, then a church could be the perfect choice for you.
- You can make purposeful marriage vows, or promises, in a church. These vows, made in the presence of others, will help you to stay together and develop together as a couple.
- The Vicar will help you to create a personalised and unique ceremony for your wedding day, advising you on what is to come in married life.
- Church buildings offer outstanding beauty. Our 16,000 churches are some of the nation’s most stunning wedding venues, with two-thirds being listed buildings. These can be old or new and hold both intimate and grand weddings.
- There is a historical element to holding your celebration in a church, being a part of something where thousands of couples before you have made their promises.
- You can make the ceremony unique to suit you. Take a look at an online ceremony planner to help you started. For some people, a church simply seems like the proper place to get married. Churches can be described as 'peaceful', 'serene', or having an atmosphere that makes marrying there a particularly special, spiritual experience.

You do not need to have been christened and you do not need to be attending regularly to choose a church wedding. A complication might arise if one of you has been married before, or, if one of you is a foreign national, but commonly there is a way around this. Simply get in touch and we'll be able to help you plan your church wedding.
