What Form Will The Service Take?
The wedding ceremony will be an Anglican form of service. The church itself is not ‘for hire’.
The Rector of All Saints, the Rev’d Alipate Tuineau, or one of our Associate Priests will usually conduct the service.
Anglican priests licensed within the Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn may seek the Rector’s permission to conduct the service. Anglican priests from other dioceses may seek the Bishop’s permission to conduct the service.
Clergy of other denominations are welcome to seek the Rector’s permission to assist in the service.
The Wedding Service
The priest will meet with you both a few times before your wedding to help you to arrange the service.
The master for service booklets will be produced at the church. We have lists of suitable prayers, readings, and music, or you are able to choose your own if you prefer.
Photographs
The priest is happy to discuss photography and videoing of your ceremony.
In general, photographs are usually taken at the following times:
- As the bride comes into the Church;
- After the signing of the Register when the bride and groom will pose for photographs;
- At the handing over of the Marriage Certificate;
- As the couple leave the Church.
Photos may be taken at other times as long as the photographer is out of sight. A good spot is the organ gallery at the back of the church.
