Marrying in a church or other religious building A religious wedding can take place at a church, chapel or other registered religious building. Most religious venues have an authorised person to perform the ceremony. However, some do not so please check this with the venue. If they do not have an authorised person, you will need to book a registrar to attend. If you are planning on marrying within the Church of England and one or both of you are from outside the European Economic Area, you will both need to give notice of intention at a register office. Please confirm with the church that you meet their requirements before giving notice. In some circumstances, we will require a letter of consent and clarification from the church to be brought with you to your notice appointment.
Those wishing to have a Jewish ceremony are also required to give notice of intention.
If you are planning on marrying in a place of worship that is not a synagogue or part of the Church of England, please make initial enquiries with that religious venue.
