Marriage at Emmanuel
If you are engaged and considering getting married at Emmanuel or St Cuthbert’s, we would love to hear from you! We love weddings and are always delighted to pray for and accompany couples as they take this important step. We warmly encourage couples to attend three or four marriage preparation sessions ahead of the wedding day; these will be arranged between the priest and the couple and will ensure that marriage prep sessions are compatible with work and other commitments.
If you would like to know more about weddings in either of our churches, please contact the parish office in the first instance and a member of the clergy will be in touch. If you live in the parish, it is very straight forward. If you don’t live in the parish, we need to establish whether you have another qualifying connection.
