Weddings

Churches are special places and there are some things about a church wedding that you just can’t get anywhere else.

St George’s is so much more than simply a venue for your wedding. Unique and special things become part of your marriage, on the day itself and beyond:-

A wedding at St George’s will add a spiritual dimension to your marriage. The ceremony includes God and looks to him for help and guidance. God’s blessing is the main attraction for many couples, whatever their beliefs.

You will make amazing vows, or promises, in St George’s. You can only make vows this big in a church. These vows, made in public, will help you to stay together and grow together. God and your church are there for you to help you keep your vows.

Our Vicar has a very particular role to play in your wedding. He can blend ancient tradition and modern experience to reflect your story. You can be involved in making choices about your ceremony. Because of the relationship with the Vicar, your wedding can be made personal, memorable, meaningful and beautiful.
St George’s building offers outstanding beauty as the world’s very first ‘Iron Church’ and centuries of history going back to 1814. Imagine all the couples who have married at St George’s, some of whom may well be your family. You can feel you’re becoming part of history itself, the bigger plan, by marrying in the same place as your relatives. We know these sorts of connections can make your day even more special.
And after your wedding, you’ll realise that a church is more than simply a wedding venue. Once you are married, we will continue to support you in prayer, in good times and in tough times.
