Weddings & Blessings of Civil Unions

"Dearly beloved..."

So begins the Prayer Book's liturgy for the celebration and blessing of a marriage. It goes on to state the intentions of God for marriage and asks for the couple's wholehearted and free consent. Our liturgy and building make this church an ideal setting for a wedding of great beauty and depth. We believe in marriage equality and will marry same sex couples. Please call or email our 

Couples interested in being married or having a civil marriage blessed should contact the Vicar. You can expect to join in a series of conversations beforehand to plan the service and to explore a Christian understanding of marriage. Some form of marriage preparation or counseling is also required by the Episcopal Church.

We are happy to marry divorced persons, but we will need the consent of the Bishop of Connecticut. To be married in the Episcopal Church, one member of the couple must be a baptized Christian of any Christian tradition. 

Fees varry depending on the services requirted and whether those incolved are active members of the church.
