Church Wedding Ceremony
Churches are a special and unique place to get married, they can offer centuries of history and outstanding beauty. St Swithun’s Church, in the village of Hempsted, stands on a small hill and is located less than a mile from the Priory. It provides Church of England wedding services and blessings, by arrangement with the Rector. If you are interested in holding your ceremony at St Swithun’s Church, followed by a reception at the Priory, we can provide you with a church contact and some basic information upon request.
Humanist Wedding Ceremony
A humanist ceremony is not a legally binding marriage. It is a non-religious ceremony, conducted by a trained humanist celebrant. It differs from a civil wedding, giving you full flexibility to marry wherever you choose and focus on what is important to you as a couple. A humanist celebrant can marry you anywhere within the grounds of the Priory, this could be in the ruins of our Tithe Barn, beside the canal wharf, inside our medieval halls or anywhere within our grounds of your choice. If you are looking for a celebrant to perform your ceremony, please get in touch and we would be delighted to provide details for our recommended local celebrant Nicky Wildin.
