There is a required legal fee for marrying in a church.

In 2022 it costs £560 if you marry away from where you live and £512 if you marry in your home parish. This is set by the Church of England nationally and is the same for every church.

This basic legal fee includes the cost of the vicar, the church, calling your banns, a banns certificate, the marriage certificate, lighting and all administration.
