It probably depends on the type of ceremony.

No they don't, according to the Canons, providing they have agreement from PCC and Bishop is fully aware and for the purposes of being culturally relevant to the context of the church for missional purposes they can dispense with robes, collar and vestments, even for the administration of the sacraments. Suitable alternative clothing is normally agreed at PCC level such as smart casual but trainers and jeans have been known.
