The Wedding Service
A marriage service is a public declaration of love and commitment to your partner. If you choose to get married in church, there is an extra assurance that God cares about your relationship and that his resources and strength are available to help you.

Wedding Preparation
The vicar (or person officiating at your wedding) will meet with you for your wedding preparation. Please contact us to book your wedding preparation with the vicar.
Alongside this we encourage couples to participate in the marriage course either before or soon after the wedding. Those couples who have done so have found it worthwhile.
Wedding Preparation course can be booked here.
Wedding Music
Please contact the Director of Music regarding the music for your wedding: Ben Lathbury on 07919 098869 or email ben@chichester-piano.co.uk
Ben is an accomplished pianist, conductor and teacher and his website can be found here.
