Weddings
Many couples will be looking forward to getting married in church now that that the government has eased the restrictions. Our intention, at St Giles, is to ensure that weddings can be as joyful and fulfilling an experience as possible while continuing to follow best public health practice and government guidance. Current government guidelines stipulate that numbers are restricted to 6 for public health reasons. This maximum number includes all those at the ceremony, including the couple, witnesses, officiant and guests. It also includes anyone who may be involved in the ceremony such as photographers. If you wish to discuss getting married at St Giles with a member of the clergy, please contact the Church Office on 01604 628623 or email office@stgilesnorthampton.org.uk Further information about the lifting of the restrictions can be found on the Church of England’s website.

Churches are so much more than a wedding venue. They offer friendship, prayer and support before and after a wedding, whether it is a church wedding or not.
