    Churches and other religious institutions have the right to refuse to perform a same-sex marriage but must make that clear to couples beforehand.

    There was one case a few years ago where two lesbians had booked a wedding and a few days before the wedding day the church realised the couple was gay and refused to perform it. The couple took the church to court, the church was required to give the couple a full refund of the couple's money but was told it was not required to perform the ceremony if it did not wish too.

    Basically the church and religious institutions are left to decide whether or not they wish to perform a same-sex ceremony or not.

    Source(s): I would provide the source of the news story but it was a while ago and I can't seem to find it.
