Weddings
Hundreds of couples have, for centuries, chosen to enter in to Holy Matrimony in our most beautiful grade 1 listed historic buildings.
Entering in to Holy Matrimony through a wedding in the Church is one of life’s most wonderful moments next to knowing Jesus personally; an act of lifelong commitment and solemn promise to love, whatever life throws at each one. The tradition continues to this day.
Whether you are thinking of proposing or saying “yes”, or are already engaged and are thinking about making your your commitment publicly, we would love to take you through the next steps.
Many couples book more than a year in advance. Things are simple if (one of) you live in our parishes or have been a registered worshiping member, are British, are legal adults, and one is a woman and the other a man.
If you live outside our parishes, you can still apply to enter into Holy Matrimony here if one of your parents lived here or attended church services regularly after you were born for at least six months. Also, if either one of you were baptised or confirmed or even lived in a TST village for at least six months, at some time in your life.
Many from outside our parishes choose to get married here because of the number of reception venues we have in the local area.
To discuss the possibility of your wedding in the TST Benefice, book an appointment with our Vicar.
