 If you would like to get married at St Mary's one of you must have a qualifying connection to the parish.  These connections include living within our parish boundaries (you may check this by entering your postcode into the A Church Near You website, www.achurchnearyou.com  ) either of you were baptised at St Mary's, any of your parents or grandparents were married at St Mary's, either of you have lived within the parish boundaries for at least six months or either of you have worshipped at St Mary's regularly for at least six months before the date of the wedding. 

We know that lots of people want to know about the costs of having a church wedding for budgetting your big day. These can vary a lot depending on what it is you are hoping to have to make the day extra special for you. A quick answer would be to say that if you budget on the top end for £1000 then you would cover everything. We will be a break down of all the possible costs on our page that has more information about weddings.

  If you would like to contact us via weddings@stmaryscoventry.org or ring the church office on 024 7661 8845, we can arrange for an informal chat or a meeting at church.
