Leah-Lacie Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Church weddings are a standard price (legal fees) and you might pay a small extra fee for the organist if you want one. Loads of info here: http://www.yourchurchwedding.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah-Lacie Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 http://www.yourchurchwedding.org/your-wedding/the-cost-of-church-weddings.aspx Mines costing £465 with the organist and permission to film the ceremony (creative commons fee or something) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leah-Lacie Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Were you wanting a saturday wedding? The town hall only does up until 11am or something don't they? I did originally choose a Friday (11.11.11) and Town hall was my first thought, but when I saw the pricing wasn't too much more, I thought we may as well go with the more personal church option! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndegwa Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Assuming also the church hasnt got any weddings other than yours on the same day, you wont be so rushed for time which i have seen at the town hall. As Leah said, its a bit more personal, not really the general public wondering about getting in the way, photographically speaking they area nuisance!

Leah-Lacie Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Agree, I've been to many weddings at the town hall, trying to take photos with kids running round the peace gardens etc is a joke! Then theres the nosy grannies watching whats going on on the front steps I'm sure you only get a half hour window too, and the bride and groom have to go into a room together before the ceremony, which I think ruins it! A church wedding is about 45 minutes my vicar has told me, but you won't be rushed, as they have a 90 minute window between them (at my church anyway) x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrnmrswild Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 Yea i know its a rush job at the town hall we booked our wedding a few month ago to be told we will be in contact about your wedding time which i wasnt to happy about as i wanted to start sorting numbers invites etc and also with booking other things in i couldent tell them an exact time as i dident have 1 until yesterday by email but it was to early for me meant my guests would be stood around all day wondering how to kill time until the reception party at a local bar, Im not to keen on the seeing the groom before the wedding to think it spoils everything at the end of the day you want your groom to look up the isle and say WOW and seeing each other before to sign papers isnt going to allow that to happen so fingers crossed i get my date at my chosen church when i go see them Thursday a church is more personal and more romantic and it means more people can see us getting married from both sides which wernt allowed at the registry office Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
