Guide to wedding planning

People enquiring about weddings will often ask about costs.

The information downloadable here is a simple guide for weddings in the Stantonbury Ecumenical Partnership in 2020. The Partnership comprises six churches in Bradwell, New Bradwell, Stantonbury, Great Linford, Downs Barn and Willen.

If enquiring via this website about a wedding please state which church is your preference.

QUALIFYING CRITERIA

It is important that you ascertain as soon as possible whether you meet the criteria to qualify for a wedding in one of the Partnership churches.

These are essentially:

Church of England weddings

Residence in the parish and/or Membership of the electoral roll of any church in the parish

and/or

Other qualifying connection (you can find out more on the Church of England website at your church wedding).

Free Church weddings

Habitual worship at the church and/or Residence in the area.

If you have been married before or are not a UK citizen, you should contact a minister as soon as possible to  help you explore whether a church wedding is possible.

Sometimes couples choose to have a Service of Blessing in church after a civil wedding, or a Service of Thanksgiving & Renewal of Vows (maybe to celebrate an anniversary).  You will be able to find out more by contacting one of the ministers.

If you wish to enquire about having your wedding in one of our churches please contact us indicating which church you are wishing to hold it in.
