WEDDINGS
Whether you plan to get married in a couple of years or in just a few months, we will help you through the process of booking and planning the ceremony. If you have no connection with St Mylor but would like to get married in our beautiful church, you can come along to St Mylor services for six months to establish your connection. This is the only occasion when regularly attending the church would be required.
The Church of England website Countdown to your church wedding provides lots of information to help with the planning for your wedding including:
- Hymns for your wedding
- Bible readings for your wedding
- Choices for your wedding ceremony
- Countdown to your church wedding
- Ceremony planner

Wedding Preparation Day
Wedding Preparation Days are arranged each year at St Mylor.
Wedding Bells
We have beautiful bells at St Mylor that you can arrange to be rung. Please discuss this when making your wedding plans.
Please email the Priest in Charge, the Rev. Emma Durose on weddings@stmylor.org.uk with all queries regarding your wedding.
Marriage Certificates
Marriage Registers in Churches are now closed, so instead of signing the Registers, couples will sign a Marriage Document.
Following the Ceremony, the Document is sent to the local Registrar who then registers the Marriage. The Priest who conducts your Wedding Service will usually send the Document to the Registrar, but you are able to take it yourself if you want to obtain the marriage certificate more quickly.
Your Marriage Certificate (the legal proof of your marriage) is no longer issued by the Priest conducting the ceremony. Instead, you will need to apply for the Certificate online or in person. To apply online go to https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/births-marriages-deaths/ or telephone 0300 1234 181.
Fees Information: Cornwall Council: https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/births-marriages-deaths/my-cornwall-wedding/our-wedding-collection/prices-legal-ceremonies/
You are able to apply and pay for your Marriage Certificate in advance, and the Registrar will issue the Certificate within 7 days of receiving the Marriage Document.
Please note that the pretty floral certificate which we gave to you on your wedding day is NOT a legal document so you will need to obtain this Certificate from the Registrar to prove your marriage has been legally validated. (The Registrar will not automatically send your Certificate to you which is why you will need to apply yourselves.)
