Wedding Ceremony Request Form
A wedding ceremony request form starts a conversation that has rules attached: eligibility, banns or licence, preparation meetings, and whether the date you want is even available. Better to ask all of it once, kindly, up front.
For churches, parishes and religious communities.
Eligibility, asked gently but asked first
Churches have requirements - residence, membership, previous marriage, denomination - and a couple who don't meet them would much rather find out in week one than after they've told everyone the date.
A form does this better than a phone call, because it can explain the rule next to the question rather than making someone say the awkward part out loud. This template asks about connection to the parish and previous marriage plainly, and makes clear that a first meeting - not the form - is where the decision happens.
Stop booking by phone tag
Half your members would rather book at 10pm than call at 10am, and the ones who do call reach a voicemail while you're working. Every missed call is a booking that went somewhere open.
A request form takes bookings while you're busy, asleep or driving - with the details you need written down rather than remembered.
Volunteers, prayer requests and pastoral care
Most of what a church collects is sensitive in a way ordinary business forms aren't: a prayer request, a pastoral concern, a safeguarding detail. The form has to be easy for a 76-year-old on a phone and private enough to be trusted.
These pages carry no trackers and no cookie banner, so nothing is watching a person who came to ask for help. Responses go to whoever you nominate and nowhere else.
It's a request, not a calendar takeover
You stay in control: requests arrive, you confirm the ones that work. No syncing, no double-booking, nothing to install - just the details you need in the order you need them.

Questions
Does submitting this book the date?
No, and the form should say so. It's a request that starts a conversation; the date is confirmed after the first meeting and any legal checks.
Should we ask about a previous marriage?
If it affects whether you can marry them, yes - and explain why you're asking, in one line, next to the question. People answer honestly when the reason is visible.
Does this book the slot automatically?
No - it collects a request, and you confirm it. That's deliberate: real diaries have exceptions, and a form that promises a slot you can't honour costs more than one that asks.
Can I limit the options people can pick?
Yes. The service and time-of-day lists are yours to edit, so people can only choose from what you actually offer. You can also close the form when you're full.
Will I know straight away?
Yes, if you want to be. Turn on live notifications and every request is emailed to you the moment it arrives; otherwise collect them and read them in your dashboard.
Can we route sensitive requests to one person only?
Yes. Notification recipients are a list you choose, so a pastoral form can reach one named person rather than a general office inbox.
