Weddings, Baptisms & Confirmations

We are always delighted to hear from couples interested in being married at St Mary-le-Bow: please read the information under 'Formalities' to see what might be involved.

We thank those couples married recently who have generously allowed us use of their photographs.

If you feel that St Mary-le-Bow might be the right place for your marriage, please telephone or email with your enquiry; there is also much valuable information on the Church of England's marriage pages.

Please note that it is not usually possible to be married during the penitential seasons of Advent or Lent.

Baptisms are conducted regularly at St Mary-le-Bow. Although most of the candidates for baptism are babies and children, it is not unusual for adults to be baptised too.

If you would like further information, please telephone or email with your enquiry.

Confirmation marks the point in the Christian journey where those who have been baptised as children make a firm commitment to Christian discipleship. Through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop, the Church also asks God to give those being confirmed power, through the Holy Spirit, to live the life of discipleship.

St Mary-le-Bow prepares and presents candidates for Confirmation at St Paul's Cathedral each year.
