We love a good wedding at St Mary's and you are very welcome to be married in either of our wonderful church buildings providing you have a 'qualifying connection' with the church or parish. This means that at least one of you must live in the parish (you can check by entering your postcode here) or have attended St Mary's church regularly for six months, be on our Electoral Roll, or have a connection through family or because you were baptised or confirmed at St Mary's. If you are unsure about whether you qualify then please feel free to ask.

Please email: [email protected] (if you don't have email please call the parish office: 020 7254 6072).  You can arrange a conversation with one of the clergy about yourselves, your wedding plans, the costs involved (see here for breakdown) and the legal requirements. For your wedding music requests please contact our Director of Music Neil Georgeson on [email protected].

Please note, at present we are not legally entitled to marry same sex couples.  Following a recent change in Church of England legislation we are now able to offer a Service of Blessing, but not a Marriage Service. We are very sorry about this discrimination and hope and pray that we will soon be able to marry you at St Mary’s.
