Weddings at S Giles

Our aim at S Giles is to make your Wedding Day a truly special and wonderful day for both you and your family and friends to remember.

S Giles is the Anglican (Church of England), Parish Church of Aintree Village, and offers a modern, bright and airy venue for your perfect wedding.

If you are considering getting married at S Giles and one, or both of you, live within the Parish, then you have a legal right to be married here.

If neither of you live in the parish but are on the 'Church Electoral Roll' you may also be married here at S Giles.

If neither of you live in the parish and are not on the 'Church Electoral Roll' please speak to Fr Bruce before making any other arrangements.

If one or both of you have been divorced (once), this may not be a bar to you getting married again in Church

To book a wedding at S Giles Church you will need to fill in a Marriage Application form. Please download a copy from this web page then contact Fr Bruce who will be happy to confirm your arrangements.

A £50, non refundable deposit is required with your application. This will be deducted from the total cost of your wedding. Payment can be made with either cash or cheque. (Cheques should be made payable to S GIles PCC).

Fr Bruce will be happy to answer all of your questions about getting married at S Giles and aims to make your wedding day as special as we can for you. It is advisable to attend a service at S Giles so that you can both get a 'feel' for the church and its setting. Our main Sunday service is held at 10.30am each week. Please make yourselves known to Fr Bruce when you visit and you will be able to chat over a cup of coffee after the service.

We are also happy to offer a Service of Blessing after a registry office marriage or a Renewal of Wedding Vows, on the occasion of your Silver or Golden Wedding Anniversary.

S Giles Centre is available to hire for your wedding reception with licenced bar and ample parking available on site. (see relevant web page)

Useful Information

The church can seat approximately 200 people and there is a small play area for young children at the back of the church.

We are happy for you to have a video recording made of your wedding but still  photography is not allowed during the service until after the signing of the register.

The church choir will be available to sing at your wedding but you will need to choose the hymns for the service. Other music can be arranged with our organist, or perhaps you know a local group or vocalist who can sing at your wedding. You may also have a favourite CD track that you would like played during the service or signing of the registers. There is of course, no requirement to have hymns or music if you don't want them.

If you are having your own Order of Service printed it would helpful if the proof copy could be shown to Fr Bruce BEFORE the final copies are printed. We do however, offer every Wedding Couple 100 free orders of service as a special gift.

Church flowers, where possible, will usually be ivory and green. These are also free to all couples. Aisle flowers can be supplied at an additional cost of £90.

Banns are read at our 10.30am service on the first three Sundays of the month preceeding your wedding and it is always nice to welcome couples to these services.

If one of you lives in another parish, you will also need to have your Banns read there as well. Please contact the priest at the other church well in advance.

Confetti may of course be thrown by your guests but bio degradable products, rice or rose petal are better for the birds and the environment.

The cost of a wedding at S Giles is £535 which includes the non-refundable deposit of £50 paid at the time of booking.

Our garden offers a wonderful back drop for your wedding photographs and S Giles Centre is now available for Wedding Reception Bookings (a full bar is also available on request).
