YOUR CHURCH WEDDING
We would be delighted for you to choose St Mary the Virgin Church for your wedding.
St. Mary the Virgin Church, with its historic ambience, provides an ideal environment for your great occasion. Limited car parking is available nearby. The churchyard in front of the entrance provides a great backdrop for photography. Only biodegradable confetti can be used.
Scheduling
Weddings can be held on a day and at a time (8 am-6 pm) that suits you. However, in reality, it depends on the availability of our priest, who serves the villages of Bletchingley and Nutfield.
Availability in 2026 is restricted to January - April and July - December.
For operational reasons there will be no weddings during May and June 2026.
Most weddings occur on Saturdays, and we can offer a service at 11 a.m. or 2:30 p.m., depending on availability. A wedding service normally lasts around 60 minutes, and you should allow a further 30-45 minutes for photography.

A timeline for planning your day
We suggest planning for your desired date 12-18 months in advance. There is a lot to think about, so read some guidance here.
Most couples have to establish a Qualifying Connection, read more here, which takes approximately 8 months after the Marriage Preliminariesy, so it is sensible to talk with us before you book your reception.
Please email us at parishofmarypeterpaul@outlook.com as early as possible to ensure availability and to discuss fees.
