Weddings
You’ve decided to get married - congratulations! Marriage is a wonderful institution which enriches the lives of two people who are married. Some people think they can’t get married in a church, divorcees, people who already have children, you don’t live in the Parish …Times have changed - yes, you can!
If you would like to know more about being married in a church, you will find a lot of information on the Church of England website. The guidance below relates specifically to Holy Trinity, Minchinhampton.
First Contact
Please contact our church office on 01453 889004 or email o ur Administrator Vicki at admin@minchchurch.org.uk. We will chat to you about key details of your wedding, including the fees and legal requirements, and affordable options. The office will put you in contact with Revd Tracey, our resident wedding guru!
The Service
We want to make sure the service is as personal as possible. We will be happy to discuss appropriate music, readings, etc and any other personal requirements to make your day as magical as possible. Think, your pet as your ring bearer. Lots of things are possible!
Music
Music is a key part of any wedding service. With a newly refurbished organ, an accomplished organist and professional audio equipment, we can cater to your music tastes. We can also live stream and record your wedding so those guests who can’t be with you on your big day can feel a part of it too!
Flowers
We have a talented flower team at Holy Trinity who create beautiful, show-stopping displays. should you wish to tap into their talents, further information is available through the church office.
Photos
Holy Trinity is an amazing venue, and photos of the church with you and your guests will provide a stunning backdrop for your photos on the day. A perfect memory and keepsake of your special day.
Rehearsal
One of the advantages of having a wedding with us is the rehearsal. Before your wedding day, we offer you a rehearsal at no extra cost.
The Service
The service will generally last about 45 minutes, depending on the elements you wish to include. There is a lovely space in the grounds where you can take photographs after the service, and if it happens to be raining, you are welcome to take photos inside the church.
Your Wedding Reception
With or without your wedding service taking place with us, we can also provide you with a beautiful and glorious space for your Reception where we can host an intimate or the most lavish occasion, with up to 150 guests.
We have great onsite facilities and will work with you to help you with catering, layout, event management, etc.
