Wedding FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) How and when do we contact the Church? Contact the clergy as soon as you decide that you would like a Christian wedding service at St John’s. Many weddings are booked 18 months in advance. When can we have our ceremony? St John’s is available for weddings on most days throughout the year. St John's is not available for weddings during Holy Week or Holy Saturday. What is required for you to be married in St John’s? To be married in the Anglican Church there is an expectation that at least one of you is baptised. What if we are not Anglican? You do not have to be Anglicans to be married in St John’s. However, the priest who conducts your service must be an Anglican and you will be married according to the rites of the Anglican Church. What if one or both of us have been married before? If a previous marriage ended in divorce, you can be re-married in the Anglican Church. Preparation needs to be undertaken and approval received from the Bishop before the ceremony. This is aimed at ensuring your new marriage will be lasting by dealing with any issues from the past. How do we plan for our wedding service? There are many details that need to be considered. You will need to discuss the ‘Notice of Intention’, order of service, readings, music, etc. |
