A Wedding at St Mary's

A wedding at St Mary's is an unforgettable day, not only for the bride and groom, but for family and friends too. Situated in a semi-rural location, the Parish Church of St Mary's offers a beautiful location for wedding services, with its magnificent views of the Yorkshire Moors to the south.

The Church is easily accessed by main road and there is ample car-parking available. The Church can accommodate up to 150 guests in comfort.

Vergers will be in attendance to assist in the smooth running of the service and with seating arrangements.

Music

Our organist has a wide repertoire, and the choir may also be available to sing at your wedding. Enquiries about choir availability should be made when you book, and you can hear the choir in action at selected services - please ask us! You can also have recorded music, should you wish. 

Photographs may be taken within the church by arrangement with the Vicar.

Well-wishers are asked to wait until they are outside the Lych Gate before throwing (biodegradable) confetti, respecting the churchyard, which is visited by many people bringing flowers to the graves of loved ones.
