Wedding Rings a symbol of your commitment

Do I need to be an Anglican? No but at least one person must be a baptised person. You will be married according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the Anglican Church and the officiant will be the Rector or Assistant of the Parish.

What do I need? You will need both birth certificates in full and if married before, evidence of divorce or death and a Baptism Certificate for at least one of you.

When you meet the Priest? Together with the priest you will fill in the Notice of Intended Marriage form, discuss the order of service and your family and friends participation as well as practical arrangements such as the rehearsal, photographers and videos etc.

Do we need to prepare? Yes the is an ONLINE marriage preparation course called PREPARE which you will both need to complete.  After completing this you will meet with Rector or Assistant to discuss the results.  No, it’s not an exam!

Are the fees? You pay a  fee of $600.00 for St James Bungwahl and $500.00 for all other centres which includes an organist fee, the priests fee and a donation to the maintenance of the church.

If you decide on one of our centres for your special day, please ring the Parish Office on 6555 4200 to make an appointment and check the date is available.

A more detailed booklet will be provided at that time.
