Festival Weddings:
Wedding Ceremonies take place everyday from 1pm-7pm weddings can be booked at the registry office marquee next to the church we hold 12 ceremonies a day so it is advised you book them at the beginning of the festival as places fill up quickly. We have a range of fancy dress wedding attire should you wish to dress up for your special day and champagne is on hand to celebrate.
Wedding Disco:
The wedding disco is set inside the church complete with glitter curtains, disco ball, lights and classic wedding DJs Matty Fresh and Matt the Hat every evening we get people involved in drinking classic Hawaiian cocktails and dancing to Zorba the Greek, lots and lots of silly fun.
Confessional Coffin:
The confessional coffin is a walkabout performance that travels around the site over the three days, a gaggle of dishevelled brides extract written confessions from festivalgoers across the site. The confessions are put into the wooden coffin and delivered back to the church where a funeral takes place on the last day of the festival absolving all of the festivalgoer..s wrong doings forever.
The Village Green:
Think Pimms and Lemonade, deck chairs, cricket whites and ladies that lunch the Village Green is the quintessential of Englishness. We have Morris Dancing plus our own carefully constructed maypole have tea with the local vicar and join the ladies that lunch. Background music is supplied by the Gramophone Chaps.
Gramophone Chaps:
The Gramophone Chaps is a one hour show playing 1920..s Jazz and Swing 78s with a bit of tennis thrown in for good measure. Join them on a tartan rug for an English afternoon ..girls in teddies: picnic.
Secret Garden of Eden:
When not holding weddings the inflatable church can play host to the Secret Garden of Eden a relaxing haven and retreat from the hustle and bustle of festival life. A constructed ambient soundtrack and low lighting make this an excellent place to relax and drift through the day or night.
TIMES INTERVIEWWhere Glastonbury cultivates a pan-religious feel, the Isle of Wight’s Bestival is strictly, albeit periodically, C of E, complete with party games and tea with the vicar, and faux WI disporting themselves in an inflatable church. The master of ceremonies is the sympathetic Rev Duncan Pritchard, who sees himself as “spreading the word of love” and admits to weeping during at least a quarter of the ceremonies. He discovered his calling after he and his co-conspirator Matt the Hat stumbled on the church, created by an inflatable company in response to a £1 bet. It has since been blessed by the head of the Church of England. That said, the inflatable parish is nondenominational. “We don’t even mind satanists – so long as they don’t spill blood everywhere,” says Pritchard, beaming, though couples who want to reconfirm traditional vows are given precedence. Among the church’s most memorable lovebirds were two plastered Welsh bricklayers in pink frocks vehemently protesting their straightness, begging: “Just don’t tell anybody.” Last year, in a fit of narcissism, the Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears married himself. In 2007 the Inflatable Church will make appearances at Bestival, Glade and the Electric Picnic, among other venues. And if all goes according to plan, it may even “go legal” and host civil partnerships at Pride.
