Free marriage service at Essex church

Wednesday, February 13, 2008

Dave Walker has blogged on how Holy Trinity in Springfield is offering free weddings. The cost of the service, the choir, the organist, the verger and the heating is being waived by the church, . The fees normally cost £280 alone. From the Chelmsford Diocesan website:

Valentine sweethearts can tie the knot for free at a Chelmsford church. Romantic Rev Tim Ball, vicar of Holy Trinity Springfield, believes that marriage is best. So he’s waiving the cost of the service, the choir, the organist, the verger and the heating.
And the good news is that the offer will be available throughout the year.

“My church believes that marriage is best for couples, for children and for the community,” says big-hearted Tim.
“So we have put our money where our mouth is. We will pay all the costs of the service in the church. We are offering a free marriage service to parishioners because Holy Trinity is a good place to celebrate love and commitment.”
