If you’re unsure if you can get married at St. George’s, and the answer to your question isn’t clear on www.yourchurchwedding.org then please email for clarification or phone 020 8654 8747.
The Church of England has produced a helpful website www.yourchurchwedding.org with answers to most of the questions you may have about getting married in church, and some you may not have even thought of. It also has some great suggestions about music, hymns, readings etc.
The cost of a wedding at St. George’s currently starts from as little as £495 (2021) for a simple said service, but we have an organist and choir available at reasonable charges to make the day more special. We can also live-stream your service so that everyone can share in your day, even if they live on the other side of the world!
If you live in the parish but you’re planning to get married in another church, please complete the Banns Enquiry form
‘https://shirley-st-george.myiknowchurch.co.uk/led/enquiryForm/banns‘
and one of the admin staff will contact you.
To check which parish you live in please enter your postcode on the following website www.achurchnearyou.com Banns are called on 3 Sundays in the 3 months before the wedding. Leaving it late can cause problems and cost more than the normal £46 (2021), so please get in touch at least 3 months before you need them.
The Church of England is currently prohibited from performing same-sex marriages but St. George’s is keen to do all it can to support all couples who want to make a lifelong commitment to each other. Please come and have a chat if you want to explore what’s possible.
