To be eligible to be married in All Saints, one of you must reside in the parish. If you are unsure about which parish you live in, visit A Church Near You web site. Enter your postcode and then click on your road in the map and it will tell you which parish you live in. If All Saints, Glazebury is not your parish church and you would still like to get married here because of family links etc or you are seeking a small village church with a welcoming congregation, you can become a member of the electoral roll by attending church regularly for 6 months.
If one of you resides in the parish, or is on the church electoral roll, you will meet the legal requirements prior to marriage by the calling of banns. Banns are called on three consecutive Sundays within three months of the wedding date in the parish churches of both bride and bridegroom.
You will be advised when this will be so that you may hear them. Banns are called at the 11a.m Family Communion Service on a Sunday morning. If you do not meet the legal requirements for banns, it may be possible for you to apply for a licence to be married at All Saints Church. Special fees apply for licences.
All Saints welcomes couples who have made a conscious choice to seek out a church wedding. If one or both of you have been divorced, there are different considerations and the decision to go ahead with a wedding in church will depend on the guidelines set by the Church of England in these matters. However, many couples have been married at All Saints Glazebury where one or both have been previously married and divorced.
