Booking a wedding? thinking about it?
How do I book?
All weddings are currently booked through Northwearsideparish@gmail.com using this form or by telephone to one of the clergy. We hope to open the parish office once we are sure covid cases are declining.
What will it cost?
The cost of a Church of England wedding is set for us each year by the Church of England centrally. The fee is around £630 in 2021 and will increase year on year so if you book over a year ahead please budget for this. This cost includes the organist, a verger (who opens and locks up and sets out the church ready for you) and a paper leaflet with hymns and prayers printed. We add to our regular church flowers and put out ribbon pew ends coordinating with your colour scheme as part of the deal.
Extras can be added by arrangement at a reasonable cost, such as:
- a more substantial order of service with a card cover.
- bells to be rung as you go out of church (At Holy Trinity only)
- extra floral arrangements
A list of costs can be found here:
What about music?
As part of the standard offer we will provide an organist who can play hymns and music to accompany you in and out of the ceremony. You can also have your own music played or have a mixture of organ music and your own. We will talk you through the options as we go through he booking process.
Which Church?
You can choose between St. Cuthbert's Church in Red House or Holy Trinity Church in Southwick for your Wedding. Just ask about availability and we will do our best to accommodate you. You can see each church from the tabs above.
