WEDDINGS AT ST. JOHN'S CHURCH, DONISTHORPE
Congratulations on your forthcoming marriage. Whether you’re just dreaming of a church wedding, or well into the planning already, we want to help and support you. Did you know that today more than a quarter of all marriages in England between a man and a woman take place in the traditional setting of a Church of England church? You're welcome to marry in church whether or not you are baptized and whether or not you go to church. For such a special day, we offer a special place. What do we do next? We always have a rehearsal so that everyone can be confident and relaxed (as possible) on the big day. Real reviews: “The service was amazing. Everyone was made to feel welcome, especially the children who were allowed to play and enjoy it too. The service was made very personal to our situation” “The service was excellent; the vicar was exceptional with meetings etc prior to our special day. We would personally recommend this church for any service” “Very friendly, helpful and supportive throughout the organization of the day and on the day” "Vivien was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. The service was lovely exactly what we wanted, the whole thing was beautiful."
We wish you every blessing for your forthcoming marriage. Can I get married at St John's?
