Yes you do, if you google church weddings you should find the CofE website where they list the minimum legal cost for a church wedding - could well cost more though depending on the church and what you want. Ours will cost over £600

That's for CofE - I don't know how it stands with the Catholic church, and I recall that it's different in Scotland too x

Im in scotland, and even up here each church is different , but personally mine will be around £350 , if i had been a memeber of the church it would have only cost £50

We decided that the cost of our church against the costs of the marriage license, registrars fees and ceremony hire fees for a civil ceremony were comparable and we would much rather have a church ceremony than civil. I think it's personal choice tbh :)

I was horrified at how much it costs to get married in a cofe church. Ours is £600 but should go up slightly as getting married in 2012 (Dreading that!! I hope it doesnt go up like yous stevie_dee). In our area it would have worked out cheaper for a civil ceremony but H2B wants to get married at that particular church. You should be able to cut costs though by not havin a choir or bells etc.

we are getting married in a methodist church, ours is costing £235 for church, minister, steward and organ. all churches are different some differ a lot too :) x

I think our church wedding is costing around £517, up from about £450 last year. It is still a lot cheaper than having a ceremony elsewhere and having a registrar coming out to marry you which can cost around £400 and then the venue room hire cost. The cheapest way being registry office but that isn't my cup of tea at all. We would do it if there was no other way of doing it but thankfully my in laws to be have offered to pay for the church, lovely people! :)
