Weddings

Congratulations if you are planning your wedding!

We will do all that we can to help you plan for the service and to ensure that it is a day of great joy and celebration.

Can I get my Wedding Banns read?

If you are permitted to marry via the reading of banns and you live in the parish we can read your wedding banns. Download the form here and return to office@trinitysaintsunited.co.uk You will then be advised of the fee and the dates that your banns will be called. Legally the reading must be within three months of your wedding date.

We would be delighted if you want to come and hear your banns being read on Sunday morning, but this is not a legal requirement.

Can I get married in Holy Trinity Dalston or All Saints Haggerston?

You may get married at either of our churches – if you live in this parish, or if you are able to show:

that one of you:

has at any time lived in the parish for a period of at least 6 months or
was baptised in the parish or
was prepared for confirmation in the parish or
has at any time regularly gone to normal church services in the parish church for a period of at least 6 months

or that one of your parents, at any time after you were born:

has lived in the parish for a period of at least 6 months or
has regularly gone to normal church services in the parish church for a period of at least 6 months

or that one of your parents or grandparents:

was married in the parish

How much will a Church Wedding Cost?

Wedding fees are set centrally by the Church of England (the easiest way to find out what they are is to go to https://www.yourchurchwedding.org scroll down, and click on the button that says 'the cost of church weddings'.

There is also a £50 charge for heating (which isn't required in the summer).

If you would like an organist to be present there is a charge which is set by the organist.

How do we book a date?

The best thing is either to come to a service or to ring the office on (020) 7254 5062

Is there any preparation?

Yes. The priest who is taking your wedding will arrange to meet up with you for marriage preparation.
