How Do I Find Out About Getting Married At Westminster Abbey?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Whilst many people may wish to get married at Westminster Abbey it is actually only a very few people who will realise this dream.  Westminster Abbey is owned by the Queen and it is very much a jewel in the royal property portfolio.

    As such only members of the Royal Family are able to get married there, or people whom the Queen allows to marry there.  (These are people who are very much part of the British establishment and very much part of the upper echelons of aristocratic society).

    For a commoner to be able to get married at Westminster Abbey, the Queen would actually have to grant a special dispensation.  She is actually unlikely to do this since once the floodgates had been opened, then it would be hard to grant some people permission to marry there and refuse others.

    Even celebrities have little or no possibility of marrying at Westminster Abbey (unless they are senior aristocrats).
