Weddings and Banns

Congratulations to you on your recent engagement and the exciting journey towards your marriage.

For those who live within the parish boundary, or who have a valid personal connection with our parish, we extend an invitation to think about the possibility of exchanging vows at St Matthew's itself.  Please don't hesitate to contact us for a discussion.

If your marriage is due to take place elsewhere, but one or both of you presently reside within the parish boundaries, as shown in the map below, you will need to make arrangements for your Banns of Marriage to be called with us.

To begin this process, you need to complete a Banns of Marriage Application Form. The publishing of your banns takes place in our main service on Sundays, during the three months leading up to your nuptial celebration. Your banns will need to be called in the parish(es) where you each reside, and in the parish where you are due to be married.

It is necessary to provide us with a minimum of 28 days' notice prior to your marriage, but please refrain from doing so more than 12 months in advance.

 

In the event that one or both parties are not UK citizens, it may be necessary to secure a Superintendent Registrar's Certificate. If so, we can help you with this.
