Weddings

Your Church wedding in the Wylye Valley

There is nothing quite like a country church wedding and our churches are beautiful, welcoming and we love to share in your special day.

We have churches to fit all sizes of wedding from the cosy surroundings of Upton Lovell and even Sherrington to the grandeur of Heytesbury.

To find out if you have a qualifying connection to be able to marry in one of our churches, please contact the Team Rector Rev'd Clifford Stride on 01985 840081

Common misconceptions

You need to be baptised to get married in the church.... NO
You need to be a regular churchgoer..... NO
You can't get married if you are divorced.... NO (do talk to us about this)
You won't be allowed confetti ... NO we love biodegradable confetti as it makes our churches look lovely
You won't be allowed Photos in church.... NO we recognise that this is your special day and you want a record of it. (We also allow videoing of weddings but there is a charge for the copyright licence)
Church weddings are boring and impersonal... NO we can include music on CDs, or even your local band . We love you to have poems read and your friends involved in the service... we have even had the whole female wedding party singing songs from Sister Act.... and it was great. Marriage is about so much more than two people coming together.... it is about the families and friends and about the community. It is about more than individual love..... it is about love between families and friends and love spreading out to the world. Marriage is more than Legal, more than social, more than now. Marriage is about Eternal Love and a depth of human being that we in the church honour and celebrate as you say your vows before the mystery of love that we name God.

We look forward to hearing from you.
