weddings
St. James is a lovely venue for wedding celebrations. Our beautiful historic church can hold up to 200 people, and our biblical garden is a beautiful space for wedding photographs.
The first step to planning your wedding is to come to church on a Sunday and meet the Rector. We recommend you do this before you book your reception, so that you are not disappointed if your chosen date and time is not available.
Holy Matrimony is a Sacrament of the Church, and therefore there are some guidelines for being married at St. James:

Holy Matrimony is a Sacrament of the Church, and therefore there are some guidelines for being married at St. James:
- While you do not have to be a member of the church to celebrate your wedding here, we do expect you to attend church on a number of Sundays prior to your wedding.
- The service is taken from the Book of Common Prayer. Other clergy may be invited to assist, with the permission of the Rector.
- All couples planning to get married at St. James are required to take pre-marital counseling. This may be done with the Rector, or with an approved marriage counselor.
- Weddings are done on Saturdays or during the week. We do not ordinarily do Sunday weddings, except in unusual circumstances.
