Should you wish to make a Video Recording of the service, the organist will charge an additional £80 in performing rights fees. Following a recent change in the law, this even applies to a guest making a video on their phone.

Running a beautiful mediaeval church is a very expensive business, and we invite a donation towards that, and if you are able to ‘Gift Aid’ this, it would be much appreciated.

We will be asking you for a £100 deposit at the time that you make your booking.  This fee is refundable in the event that your ceremony does not take place.  You will be sent an invoice nearer the time of your wedding date, and we require that to be settled at least one month before the date of your marriage.
