WEDDINGS
The Chaplain is always glad to receive enquiries from couples about Weddings. This is a wonderful Sacrament, and always a joyful family occasion, and it is a privilege to be able to welcome you to St. George’s to celebrate it. You will find that his first question is, “What is your connection with Venice? Why would you like to come to St. George’s for your special celebration?”
On these moving occasions a couple dedicate themselves to God. This is a serious commitment and it needs the full support of Family and Friends to help you carry it out. The normal context of these celebrations is in your Home Parish where Family, Friends and neighbours can all support you. For couples intending to travel to Venice for their special celebration, the Chaplain wants to be sure that you will have the presence of your Families and the support of your parish priest at home.

The service will in fact be a Blessing of your Marriage, and you will have to obtain a legal marriage certificate beforehand, which the Chaplain has to see. This can either be done in Venice the same morning, for which you will be well advised to get the help of the Consulate Office or in advance at the Registry office near to your home, even if that is in another country.
However, that does not prevent us from having a wonderful service like a marriage, in which you will dedicate your marriage vows to God in front of all your witnesses, and we will pray for God’s Blessing on your marriage.
For enquiries about Wedding services, or services of renewal of marriage vows, please contact the Chaplain or the Churchwardens.
