Can I get married at St Peter's?

If you live in Burnham Parish, attend St Peter's Church, or have a connection to the Parish, you can be married at St Peter's Church.

If neither of you lives in the Parish, nor do you have any connection with the Parish, it is still possible to be married at St Peter's, but you will need to discuss this with us.

Bells and Choir

St Peter's has a magnificent ring of 8 bells, and a team of ringers who ring before and after your wedding. A choir can add to the occasion by giving a strong lead to the singing.

We'll ask you for an initial decision about whether you want a choir and/or bells when you book your wedding, but as these facilities are provided by volunteers who only receive expenses. We cannot GUARANTEE their availability. Minimum 2 months notice needed.

What if I've been married before?

A previous marriage which has ended in divorce is, unfortunately, not uncommon. St Peter's supports couples who wish commit themselves to a new start and to be remarried in church.

Practicalities

How big is the church? - St Peter's church will seat 250 people.

Music - Our organist, Brian Henry, is happy to speak to couples about music for wedding services. Please contact him (01753 851388) a few months before your wedding to discuss the possibilities for music.

Flowers - Two flower arrangements are included in the cost of your wedding and additional flowers can be arranged at extra cost if required.

Photographs and video?

We are happy for your wedding to be photographed, and the cost of video copyright is included in the wedding fee. Please speak to the Vicar who will be able to give you further guidance on photography during the service.

Please ask your photographer and videographer to familiarise themselves with the church layout and speak to the Vicar before the service begins; preferably on another day.
