Weddings
|
You may be able to apply to be married in a Church of England local church if you are living in the parish, grew up here or have another connection with it. If you want to ask about a wedding or anniversary service, the Rector, the Revd Andrew Doye, is available to talk with you. You can call him on 01243 372867 and he will be delighted to discuss possibilities. You can also email the Rector. The church is able to offer advice on arrangements for a church wedding and it also has a professional organist who can help you choose music for your service. To be married at Westbourne, one of the people getting married will need a connection with the church. This may be as a parishioner, because you live in the parish (our ‘patch’) or there may be a family connection through your parents or grandparents. If you have had an earlier marriage which ended in divorce please come and talk to us, you may still be able to be married in church. The Parish Hall, situated across the road from the church in Westbourne, is chosen by many couples for their wedding reception. General information on church weddings
