Weddings
St Michael’s is a beautiful setting for your wedding - it has a lovely cosy, family feel about it and we would be delighted if you chose to have your special day here.
There are a few important things to consider however.
Firstly, the law states that you may get married in the church in the parish in which one of you is resident. Parish boundaries are sometimes quite difficult to discover, but a really useful website is www.acny.org.uk when you arrive at the site, type in your postcode and it will tell you which parish you are in. If that parish has a link on that site you will be able to click on it to find out more information about a particular church. St Michael’s is one church in the parish of St Peter’s Bexhill. If you live within this parish, then you may get married at St Michael’s and the next step would be to contact Fr David. He would be delighted to hear from you and talk through some further details or answer any questions you may have.
One common question is “how much will it cost?”
The answer to that question is dependent on what you would like within the service.
The basic fees for the wedding service are approximately £270 (although they do vary slightly from year to year) On top of this there are fees for an organist, flowers, lighting and various other sundry fees. The average church wedding including all the above fees would be in the region of £350 - £400 although as stated previously this can vary. Fr David will be pleased to go into further details when you contact him.

Baptisms
If you would like your child baptised at St Michael’s we would be delighted to welcome you into the church family and discuss arrangements and preparations for this wonderful celebration.
Baptisms usually take place during our 10.30 Communion Service on a Sunday morning (although not on the 3rd Sunday of the month)
Baptisms should normally be conducted in the church in the parish in which you are resident. If you are not sure which is your parish church please check the website www.acny.org.uk when you arrive at the site, type in your postcode and it will tell you which parish you are in.
There are no set fees for a service of Baptism although as part of the service there will be a money collection taken.
In preparation for the Baptism, you will be asked to choose at least 3 Godparents. 2 should be the same gender as the child to be baptised and 1 should be of the other gender. Godparents must all be Baptised themselves and should also be Confirmed. They should also be at least 16.
If you wish to discuss details further, please contact Fr David and he will then be in touch to talk further about arrangements.
