St. Edward’s Church, Stow on the Wold, in the heart of the Cotswolds and known for its iconic north door, welcomes couples for a wedding blessing. It can be a small ceremony for just a few family and friends or you can fill the church with friends, flowers and music.
Unlike a wedding, we don’t need you to have a 'qualifying connection' to the church. We just need to see proof you are legally married before the event.
How it works: The fee for a blessing service is £550. You can customise your service and this fee includes help in choosing words, readings, poetry and music. All our services include one or more bible readings and the Lord’s Prayer (in languages of your choice) as part of your commitment to God.
We can provide a team of bell ringers (£240) or live organ or piano music (£120). You can also bring in your own videographer, musicians, recorded music or flowers. Generally, if you have a family member/friend/whomever who wants to sing we our musical team can assist with accompaniment.
We’d love to help you celebrate your relationship in your own special way, before God and your choice of family and friends.
