Congratulations! By reading this page you and your partner are taking another step along the road of your commitment to one another. We are delighted that you are thinking about getting married at St Barnabas: a lovely 1920’s church built by a local family of builders with Art Nouveau windows and gardens which provide a beautiful location for wedding photographs.
Christian marriage isn’t just about the wedding day and saying the right words. It’s a lifelong commitment and needs thought and preparation, we are able to guide you through that, as well as helping you plan the Marriage service itself.
