  • Getting married at St Paul's

    St Paul's is an ideal venue not only for your wedding reception, but also your marriage service. Our clergy team would be very happy to talk to you about getting married here. You don't have to be a regular church goer to have a church wedding, but there are some legal requirements which our clergy can talk through with you. A church wedding is marked out by the fact that a vicar will marry you according to the well-known vows that have been used for centuries. You will also be prayed for as a couple and receive God's blessing on your union.
