One of the other things our experienced Independent Financial Advisors at Enable have seen over the years is that fathers save for is their daughters weddings and there is no doubt that the choices made about the wedding day can make a huge impact on the cost. Bringing your experience to bear on the financial arrangements is vital.
A church wedding might make the day that bit more personal and special but it might not have to cost a small fortune. There is a relatively small legal fee for marrying in a church. The current minimum is £322 for weddings taking place in 2012, which includes all legal necessities. This figure is based on a couple living at the same address and marrying outside their own parish.
It includes:
the fee set by law payable to the church: £262
your marriage certificate: £4
having your banns read at the home church: £22
having your banns read at the church where you will marry: £22
your banns certificate: £12
Total legal fee: £322
This is set by the Church of England nationally. It may vary slightly for you depending on your circumstances. It is always a good idea to work out all these costs with the Vicar early on so that you know what to expect on your final bill. It is good practice for the church to provide you with an itemised bill before your wedding so that you can see exactly what you will be paying for. Remember flowers Organists and Bell ringing will probably be extras
