Weddings / Blessings / Vow Renewals 

 

If you have reached this page, you may have already decided to get married, to renew your vows, or to have a wedding blessing . May we offer our congratulations? 

​

Brighton Unitarian Church welcomes your dreams and plans for your special day.  We are proud to offer same sex, trans and heterosexual weddings as well as for those who are divorced. ​

Whether you have been married elsewhere  or are looking to renew your vows, or perhaps want your marriage to be blessed within a welcoming and diverse spiritual community, you are welcome here 

​

Whether you have differing beliefs, are unsure what you believe, or have no specific faith, you are welcome here. This church offers a spiritual setting for you both to make your vows, witnessed by your loved ones ​and offers you a specialised support package from your first enquiry through to the big day itself. 

Every ceremony conducted here is unique, reflecting the beliefs and attitudes of both of you, as well as the values we hold here at the church, and you become part of the wider Unitarian community. We invite you to attend our services to meet us and learn more about our tradition. 

​

After an informal chat with Jennifer, our minister, you will be introduced to one of our highly professional, trained celebrants, who will support you throughout the planning and on the day. 

They will help to design a bespoke ceremony that reflects who you are, your love for each other, and your hopes for the future. This can include music, readings, singing, prayers, blessings, and promises from religious and/or secular sources, or aspects of other traditions that are meaningful to you both. ​

​

We work closely with the local registry office to ensure that all ceremonies comply with legal requirements. You are required to contact your local registry office to declare your intention to marry here, and your celebrant will help you with this. 

 

Next steps ​

If you are considering getting married and would like to learn more about what we offer, please contact our minister, Rev. Jennifer Sanders. jennifersanders@brightonunitarian.org.uk 

Wedding prices start at £1400, which includes the hire of the church, an authorised person, celebrant, and caretaker. 

We look forward to meeting you and helping you create a wedding ceremony that reflects you both in this important and loving milestone in your lives.
