At St John’s we believe marriage is a wonderful gift from God, and we love being part of such an important occasion. As the oldest – and possibly most beautiful – building in Corby, St John’s is a popular place to celebrate a wedding.
But for us, the wedding day is more than a celebration. It is a declaration before God, family, and friends that you are committing yourselves to one another for life. That’s why we don’t just want to help you prepare for your big day, but also to support you as you prepare for a lifelong marriage together.
Who can be married at St John’s?
In order to be legally married here, one of you must have a qualifying connection with the church. This means at least one of the following applies:
- You live in the parish (or have lived here for at least 6 months in the past)
- You were baptised at St John’s Church or Epiphany Church, Corby
- You were prepared for confirmation at St John’s Church or Epiphany Church
- You have regularly attended St John’s or Epiphany Church for at least 6 months
- Your parents have lived in the parish for 6 months during their lives
- Your parents have regularly attended St John’s or Epiphany Church for at least 6 months
- Your parents or grandparents were married at St John’s or Epiphany Church
If you’re unsure which parish you live in, you can check online. If you don’t currently meet one of these criteria, don’t worry – you can still speak with one of our ministers, who will be happy to explore options with you.
