What kind of wedding ceremony is right for you?

Whether you are single or divorced, of mixed faiths or of no particular faith, you can be married at the eighteenth century Unitarian Chapel in Whiteley Lane , Fulwood with a service to suit your needs. For us as a chapel the most important requirement is that you are truly committed to each other. You must discuss and satisfy all legal requirements with the Registrar.

You may feel that a civil ceremony is too brief and impersonal. You may not be churchgoers, or even religious in the conventional sense but, nevertheless, feel a reverence for the vows that are made at marriage and wish to express your faith in life, in one another and in your future together.

At Fulwood Old Chapel, you will find a Minister of the Unitarian Church (and lay people) ready to help you to celebrate the milestones in your life and to express your most personal promise in your chosen way.
