Getting Married Here

Our beautiful church is ideal for weddings with 20-120 guests, and can seat up to 150 people.  

Situated near the water, our delightful location on Djurgården makes you feel like you're in the countryside - when you're close to the heart of the city.  And parking is easy.

We offer wedding services in English and Swedish - or a mixture of the two - and can include within the service the things you want to help make your wedding your own.

Who can be married at the church?
You don't have to be a member of this church to marry here. Anyone of any tradition or nationality who meets the Swedish legal requirements is welcome. If you want to be married using the Church of England service and have been married before, you will need to discuss this with the Chaplain.

How do we book?
Sending in the booking form secures a provisional booking. The Chaplain will also encourage you to come and look at the church - on a Sunday morning, if you can, when it's got people in it. The date and time of the wedding should be agreed in writing with the Chaplain before other arrangements are made!

Can we have a Swedish wedding?
Yes. But you'll need to arrange for a Swedish priest and preparation for the service.

Can we have a wedding in more than one language?
Yes, but you'll need to choose between English and Swedish as the basic language, and then include elements such as readings, hymns and prayers in the other language.

Can you provide an organist?
Almost always. You are also welcome to use other musicians.

What does a wedding cost?
We receive no financial support from the state or the wider church and depend largely upon donations, so we need to charge realistically for a wedding service. For the past few years the basic cost for the church has been 5000 SEK, with another 2500 SEK for a musician, and another 3000 SEK for the priest, preparation and any other staff involved. The separate organisation that owns the hall charges 500 SEK for the use of its cloakroom facilities.

Who decides on the service?
We use the order of service provided by the Church of England. Weddings in other traditions are possible - you'll need to discuss that with the clergy concerned. With an English wedding, we'll discuss what you would like when it comes to hymns, music, readings and so on. Putting together a service that is personal to you is part of the preparation we do together.

A wedding here offers you a wonderful setting, a beautiful building and God’s blessing as you begin your married life together. We hope that you will want to explore this further with us.

The church is at its best with people in it.  So why not visit us at 11.00 on a Sunday morning - and stay to talk with the Chaplain over coffee afterwards?
