Weddings

We are biased, but we believe that St. Gabriel’s is a fabulous place to be married. Most people who live in the parish of St Gabriel’s can be married here; you do not need to have been baptised or come to church.

 If you are not sure which parish you live in, you can check by using your postcode at  www.achurchnearyou.com

If you do not live in the parish, but do have a connection (perhaps you used to live here, or your parents were married here, for example) please ask about whether you can be married here.


If you have been married in a civil ceremony and would like to have the marriage blessed, we would love to talk to you too!
You can find out more about church weddings and blessings on the Church of England weddings site. www.churchofengland.org
To start booking your wedding or blessing, or just to ask a question, please contact the Parish Office.

St Gabriel’s is a Grade 2 listed building which can seat around 350 people. We can do a personalized order of service, the flower team can create beautiful display and we have dates available throughout the year so please contact us for more information!
