Weddings

If you would like to book a wedding in St John’s Cullingworth, we will arrange to meet to discuss the date you require and confirm that you are eligible. We shall be delighted to help you to arrange a wonderful wedding!

St John’s provides that traditional feel with big stone arches and stone pillars creating an atmosphere that is awe inspiring but intimate in which you have a real sense that your friends and family are with you as you make your vows to one another. Our church reflects something of God’s nature – his transcendence and his imminence. In other words the God we worship is both beyond us and with us – and our building reflects something of his nature.
