Weddings are limited in numbers at this time please contact us for more details.
We are pleased to welcome couples who choose a Christian wedding. You may have a Church of England marriage at St Leonard’s if you or your partner lives in the parish, is on the Electoral Roll or has a Qualifying Connection with the parish.
Should you and/or your partner have been married before and have a previous partner still living, a priest will need to discuss your situation with you in order to see whether you may be married in church according to the House of Bishops’ guidelines. In this case, please contact the Revd Hilary Jowett 562335 to arrange an interview. She will need sight of your decree(s) absolute.

In 2020, the fees for a wedding are £539.00; you may then choose which additional options you may want. The fees usually increase by approximately 2% per year but we do not receive the fees table until late in the previous year.
At the beginning of the year of your marriage, we shall invite you to a workshop to consider the vows which you will make and to offer you the opportunity of choosing the music for your wedding.
