Getting Married in Fort William or Corpach

“My command is this. Love one another as I have loved you.” John 15.12

We want to make your special day a wonderful and memorable occasion. It is a time when you will make promises to each other, and we ask for God’s blessing on your relationship. 

Our ministry team will work with you to create a very personal service that will reflect your wishes. We are aware that many couples, families and guests are unfamiliar with church services, and we are sensitive to this while, at the same time, offering a Christian wedding service as part of a long tradition.  

Our talented musicians can be part of your service, or you can bring along your own musicians or use recorded music. 

Both of our buildings have seen many couples getting married over their long life, and today offer a very special place for your very special day which is difficult to find elsewhere. Our church in Corpach is smaller and more intimate; the stunning view from outside looking towards Ben Nevis has been the backdrop of many a wedding photograph! The Duncansburgh Church in the heart of Fort William is a larger venue with stunning stained-glass windows and a traditional pipe organ. You are welcome to visit either or both as you decide on the most appropriate venue.

A Guide to Getting Married in Church

We have prepared a guide to getting married in one of our churches. Ministers can conduct a Christian service in other venues too.

Renewing Wedding Vows and Marriage Blessings

Many couples wish to renew their wedding vows, perhaps to celebrate an anniversary or because of restrictions on who could attend during the pandemic. Others would like a Christian blessing on their marriage. Contact our ministry team – we would be delighted to help.

Contact

If you wish to arrange a wedding in one of the churches, or to enquire about a member of the ministry team leading a service in another venue, please make early contact with one of the ministry team. If you or your family have a particular link to a member of our ministry team, we’ll try to make sure that person is able to help.

As our church buildings can be busy, it is important to make provisional arrangements with the minister before confirming the reception arrangements to avoid disappointment.

Sunday Services

Details of our Sunday services are on this website and our social media. Try to come along before your wedding so the church feels familiar to you. You don’t have to be a church member or regular attender to get married in our church, but it can be particularly special to get married in a place where you feel you a sense of belonging. 

If you want to know any more about church membership or any aspect of Christian faith please speak to the minister. We believe that there is no better start to married life than to be part of a church family and to receive the encouragement and support that is there for all. All are welcome!
