I was wondering what is the best price and which is the best? There is no infomation online about getting married in churches.
CommentAuthorMrs (Dove) Pidgeon
It depends on the church or registry office.
If you want to make your vows in front of God- get married in a church. If you don't want God in your marriage - get married elsewhere.

It totally depends on the church, we are paying £600 for the service, the choir, the bells and the music for my entrance! I know a registary office is alot cheaper but it depends on what you want for the day x

The thought of getting married in a church seems so much better to me, the whole walking down the isal i think, but im not a great beliver in god
CommentAuthorloubie100
When we first went to enquire about getting married in church they never even asked us if we believed in god and we didnt even have to be christened so that depends upon the church also x
thanks so much that was great help, do you have to go to he church services every week? x
CommentAuthorJoolsy
I think it just depends on the Church aswell as some only take a donation!! It's costing me £900 for my church and they don't allow you to do your own flowers they only allow you to use their florist and you have to have 2 pews of flowers at least at £75 each so that is costing me another £150.00 xx

That again depends on the church. Some make you go everyweek, some once a month some not so often. Others make you go on a Marriage Preperation Course. Ours is quite lenient with us because H2B is in the Army and I live 200 miles away.

CommentAuthorxxsophieMxx
hi, we are having a civil ceremony in jamaica, then we're having a church blessing and a big do when we get back, im not sure how much its costing yet but im hoping not too much as my family knows the vicar very well and him and his wife are coming to the reception so tht might knock the price down a bit! also, we live 300 miles away so i really hope we dont have to go every sunday!! xx
CommentAuthorJay

CommentAuthortasha
we are getting married in our local church which is costing quite a bit but i couldnt imagine getting married anywhere else. Its such an old,beautiful church which is everything i had dreamed of. x
I am getting married in a little chapel, but is is not religious. It is called Lovekyn and is in Kingston Upon Thames

i am getting married in church 635 for flowers organist and ceromony
CommentAuthorJaneR58
You mentioned church registry office However, there is another option - Civil ceremony in a licensed location. The third option means that you can get married in a hotel, zoo, whatever, as long as it is licensed. A lot of these places are much prettier than a registry office (check out guild halls and town halls, they are often fairly low cost and absolutely gorgeous in some places). If you aren't fussed about a church I'd suggest a civil ceremony as you might be able to have it in the same place as your reception.
CommentAuthorAmyP7
We are having a civil at a lovely hall, it's stunning. We never wanted to get married at church as we are not religious and that it would be hypocritical for us to marry in a church. So it depends if your religious or not. Sometimes you have to attend church for weeks coming up to the wedding as well x x

I didnt want to get married in a church- im not religious and it seemed like a materialistic thing to do, as the reason you get married in a church is so it is before the eyes of god NOT because it just looks prettier.. We've gone for registry office, we still have the same result of being married to the man I love...plus its so much cheaper anyway!
CommentAuthorLynD
note this is only my opinion.... and I do not mean to offend anyone....
Personally I think, if you get married in a church you should believe in God. It's 'God's' house and not to believe is being a little hypocritical and just because a person likes the building and the grounds and the pomp is no real reason to get married there.
There are lots of lovely venues, whether it be a Registry Office or a Civil Licensed Venue and, if you're not religious, then I think you should chose one of those.
again - I reiterate - that's just my opinion
CommentAuthorGlitterfairy
I've never really wanted to be married in a church. I am not a believer so would feel a fraud. We did though have a lovely room, and Is till had to walk down the aisle even though it was not a church. So many different options depending on venues.

CommentAuthorLauraJo87
I agree with you Lynn. I would feel like the ceromony was based on lies as neither me or h2b are Christians (he's an atheist, I tend more towards agnostic)
However, each to their own. We are getting married in a hotel, the room is stunning and still has an aisle. Our registry office looks a bit crappy though, although some of them are absolutely stunning. registrar fees vary greatly from district to district, ours our 500 to come to the venue, 295 to do it at the registry office however they also charge fees for room hire of about 175 so not much cheaper in total lol.

ours is 500 too - to come out to the venue... good little earner I reckons.
CommentAuthorLilyB39
it depends where you would like to get marry, you should select a few of the churches that you would like to get marry and then ring them to compare the price.. good luck
CommentAuthorlizzylou
Nope, i could never have got married in church for exactly those reasons Lyn, it'd make me feel super uncomfortable! x
