Weddings
The
beauty of this church and the high standard of its music have
made
All Saints Fulham a popular place for thousands of weddings over
900 years. All Saints Fulham is particularly loved and the
wonderful care of its building and churchyard owes much to the
generosity, work and care of the people of Fulham who have
worshipped here for generations.
The church
has a particularly fine set of bells, which are rung every
Sunday. A favourite peal for weddings is the change 135246
which is called Queens, named after Queen Elizabeth 1 who, when
passing through the City of London heard church bells ringing
this change,
stopped her coach and commented how pleasing the bells sounded.
If you would
like to get married at All Saints Fulham we will do all we can
to ensure your wedding day is a very happy one and that your
marriage begins on the firmest foundations. You will be invited
to make your solemn promises to each other, not only in front of
your family and friends but in the sight of God and with God’s
blessing.
We will help
you to prepare carefully for your marriage, both with the
logistics and emotionally and spiritually through our
Marriage
Preparation Course. Your service will be made as personal as we
can make it, bearing in mind that the church is in use for
public worship and other purposes, too.
You can get
married at All Saints Fulham in one of three ways. If one or
both of you live in the parish, or are habitual worshippers at
the church for at least six months, or have a strong link with
the parish through family or work. If one or both of you has
been divorced then the clergy will want to discuss with you how
the previous marriage went wrong and the needs and concerns of
any children from a previous marriage or relationship. If the
clergy are happy to marry you then you can be married under the
same qualifying conditions as above. If one of you belongs to
another faith, which is not Christian, then it may still be
possible for you to get married at All Saints Fulham but you
must have the normal Christian service.
You may like
to look at our
Alternative Wedding Gift Guide for ways of not
only keeping the cost down but also giving family and friends
the opportunity to make your wedding even more special because
of their thoughts and contributions.
If you would
like to know more about booking a wedding at All Saints Fulham,
