Weddings atAll Hallows’ Parish Church,

We are a warm and welcoming congregation who enjoy inviting couples to celebrate their marriage in our Church. The team at All Hallows can help with providing all the elements of a traditional wedding and the Church of England website gives lots of ideas for readings, prayers and hymns for your services.

Prior to your wedding you will meet with our Vicar, Revd Amanda Grant, to talk about preparation for marriage, and we will look forward to you, and your family and friends, joining us at some of our services before your wedding day.
