Weddings - Why get married in church?

It is wonderful that you are considering getting married in one of our beautiful churches. We understand that preparing for marriage can be stressful, but don't worry; we are here to help.

A church is so much more than simply a beautiful venue for your wedding. Unique and special things become part of your marriage, on the day itself and beyond.

A church wedding will add a spiritual dimension to your marriage. The ceremony looks to God for help and guidance.  These vows, made in public, will help you to stay together and grow together. God and your church are there for you to help you keep your vows.                        

The Minister (sometimes called the Vicar or Priest) has a very particular role to play in your wedding. They can blend ancient tradition and modern experience to reflect your story. Because of the relationship with the Minister, your wedding can be made personal, memorable, meaningful and beautiful.

Before making any other arrangements, contact Rev. Garry Higgs who will arrange an appointment for an initial conversation. He will explain to you what you have to do, the paperwork that needs to be completed and the marriage preparation that is necessary before you can be married in church.
