We are very happy to organise weddings at St Alphage' s and you should contact Fr Luke if you would like to speak about how and when. Who can get married where is regulated by law - but if you are unsure speak to a member of the clergy. We will be happy to help if we can.
It is advised you speak to a member of the clergy as soon as possible to arrange a date and to work out what legal matters need to be sorted.
