Although the College is not licensed for civil weddings, for alumni of the College we are able to offer Anglican services in our beautiful Chapel - please contact the Chaplain in the first instance if you would like to be married at St Catharine's.

Once the gong is struck, you and your guests will be led to the Dining Hall to be seated for the wedding breakfast. For your evening reception, the McGrath Bar provides an excellent location, combining innovative design within this historical setting. Guests would also have use of the sophisticated and modern College bar, where you can dance the night away with your family and friends.
