Getting married in church
We're delighted you are considering having your wedding in one of our parishes.
There are some legal preliminaries which have to be checked out.
If either of you has been married or been in a civil partnership before, you will need to make an appointment to see the Vicar before we can proceed. Please contact the Benefice Office on 01902 373160 or send us an email.
If you live anywhere in the parishes of Albrighton, Boningale or Donington you may marry in any of our three churches.
If you no longer live any of the parishes you will need to establish a qualifying connection.
These include:
- If you have lived in the parish for at least six months during your lifetime
- If your parent(s) have lived here for six months during your lifetime
- If you have been baptised or confirmed in any of the three churches or your confirmation has been registered at any of the churches.
- If you have been a regular churchgoer at St Mary's for more than six months
How large is each church?
- St Mary's seats up to 150 people,
- St Cuthbert's up to 70
- St. Chad's up to 70.
- You may make arrangements to visit all 3 churches before deciding where to marry.
