Weddings
Welcome as you consider getting married at St Augustine's Cashmere
St Augustine's is a beautiful church, suitable for both small or large weddings of up to 200 people, with plenty of natural light and excellent acoustics, in an iconic architectural landmark. The adjoining Hannan Centre Lounge and nearby Church Hall, both with kitchen facilities, may also be useful for preparation or reception spaces for your big day.
The weddings we offer in our church, or by arrangement at other local venues, are a public celebration of a couple’s love, friendship and respect for each other, and a solemn covenant before God. If you're interested, we offer an (optional) marriage preparation course, designed to help you develop strong foundations for a lasting marriage. We are happy to help you decide on the style of service (traditional or modern), music choices, readings and decorations if you'd like any guidance in these areas - all the things that will make your wedding day truly special and memorable.
Please do not assume a minister or church is unaffordable. It's very important to us that weddings are accessible to all so please let us know if our standard fees are going to be a problem.

Marriage Licence
You will need to apply for a marriage licence, preferably two to four weeks before the wedding. It is valid for 3 months. Apply online; Births, Deaths and Marriages. Your marriage licence must be provided prior to the ceremony. We cannot conduct a legal marriage without a licence. If you intend to have an outdoor wedding, please also identify an indoor wet weather alternative (our church may be available), as this address will need to be listed on your Marriage Licence application.
