------------------------------------------Love in the air?
Would you like
to get married at Seal Church?
We'll be delighted to help. It is nearly always possible for opposite sex couples to be married here at Seal Church, even if you don't live in the parish. Just get in touch with the vicar to talk about it. Sadly, we aren't allowed to marry same-sex couples yet. Weddings cost between £489 and £774 depending on what "extras" you have, but if money is a problem we may still be able to help, so don't let that be a barrier. Church weddings don't have to be big or fancy. Brides don't have to wear white. You don't have to be churchgoers. We'll be happy to help you plan a wedding that suits you, as far as it is legally and practically possible to do so.
