We very much welcome enquiries about a marriage in our churches at Castle Hedingham and
Sible Hedingham. If you are planning to be married, please contact the parish priest as soon
as possible to discuss the details and to book the time and date of a service.
Weddings may take place on any day of the week (not just Saturdays!). From time to time
we get requests for more than one wedding on a particular day. Where this occurs there will
be a minimum of two hours between each service, allowing plenty of time for each one.
Each service is designed to be special for the couple concerned, and we will discuss the
options available to you, such as the choice of hymns, reading, music etc. A service usually
lasts between 45 minutes and an hour.
There are various legal requirements in respect of the vows that you exchange, and we will
use the Marriage Service from the “Common Worship Pastoral Services”, approved by the
General Synod of the Church of England and by an Act of Parliament.
A copy of the service will be given to you when your booking is confirmed.
To help you with your preperations there is a booklet available for download - please place
your mouse over the button Our Wedding Guide, once it changes colour click on it and it
will open up the booklet for you to download or print
