Celebrating a milestone anniversary?
Come through a tough season together?
Or simply want to say ‘we still do’?

 

A Blessing or Renewal of Vows is a beautiful way to mark your journey as a couple – whether it’s your first year or your fiftieth. At St Leonard’s, we’d love to help you shape a meaningful and personal service that reflects your love and faith.

​

What is a Blessing or Renewal of Vows?

• A Renewal of Vows is a chance to affirm your love and commitment to one another before God, often surrounded by family and friends.

• A Service of Blessing follows a civil marriage, offering space to give thanks and ask for God’s blessing on your life together.

 

These are not legal ceremonies – so they can happen any time, anywhere in your journey, and are especially powerful for anniversaries, reconciliations, or after a civil marriage.

​

What’s the service like?

You’ll work closely with our clergy to create a service that’s deeply personal, yet rooted in Christian tradition. You can include:

• Music, hymns or readings that are meaningful to you

• A reflection on your journey

• Renewal of vows (you can write your own or use traditional words)

• Prayers and a blessing

• Involvement from children, grandchildren or friends

 

Whether it’s in church, outdoors, or part of another celebration, we’ll help you make it joyful, thoughtful and memorable.

​

What does it cost?

In 2025, the fee for a blessing or renewal of vows at St Leonard's is £297. This covers the vicar, the church, your  and admin. 

Extras like the organist, choir or bells are available – we’ll explain these when you book.

​

We simply want to support you as you give thanks for your love and the life you’ve shared.
