Description
About Christ Church, Lancaster Christ Church is a beautiful Victorian building looking out across Morecambe Bay and the Lakeland Fells. We have been serving the community on the east of Lancaster for 165 years and look forward to welcoming you and your families for your special day. Whether you're looking for a traditional church wedding with hymns, or something more contemporary with Christian prayers, we will tailor the service to you. We offer a warm, friendly welcome, and are open to local couples regardless of whether you've been to the church in the past. You do not need to have been baptised and you do not need to be a regular churchgoer to choose a church wedding. We ask that you have a connection to the parish - whether you live in the area, worship at Christ Church, or have close family who live or worship here. If one of you has been married before, or, if one of you is a foreign national, please discuss this with the Vicar so that arrangements can be made. The church can seat up to 400 people for wedding, thanksgiving, or blessing services. We have full disabled access, a hearing loop, accessible toilets, and assistance dogs are welcome. Our Church Hall is also available for hire should you wish to use it for a Reception. We charge the standard Church of England fees for Weddings. However, if funds are tight, please discuss this with the Vicar and we can make other arrangements with you. It is possible to arrange for services to be recorded and/or livestreamed from Christ Church, for an additional fee. A church wedding adds a spiritual dimension to your marriage. God's blessing is an important factor for many couples, whatever their beliefs. Your wedding vows, made in a church, will help you to stay together and grow together. The Vicar will help you to create a personalised ceremony for your special day, and can advise you on your upcoming marriage. They are available for pastoral support in the future, and can also arrange special services to renew your vows at significant moments. Church buildings offer centuries of history. You might feel you're becoming part of history itself by marrying in the same place as your relatives. For some people, a church simply seems like the proper place to get married. Churches can be described as 'peaceful', 'serene', or having an atmosphere that makes marrying there a particularly special experience. Read more
