Weddings

All Saints is a beautiful venue for your special day. It is one of the largest indoor spaces in Headington and can comfortably seat over 300, but is also homely for smaller weddings.
The large size of the church makes us a popular choice for people who worship in other church traditions. Nevertheless the organ is special and its music adds something special to any wedding. We also have a fine grand piano.

The heart of the service - the declarations and the vows - have to be the standard and very beautiful Church of England words. However, the rest of the service: readings, hymns or worship songs, sermon and such like can be led by your own choir or band, led by your pastor, and do not even need to be in English.

This makes us a much more attractive option than, for example, a registry office. We are slightly less costly, and it allows you to bring God into the wedding, which is not allowed at registry offices.

As the space is large AND SO FLEXIBLE, several couples have had all or part of the after wedding party in the church. It's also a very good space for group photos. There are also other rooms for culturally specific small events preceding the wedding, like a Chinese Tea Ceremony.

There are some legal requirements to satisfy before any wedding, including a church wedding. However, we can help you sort these out. If you'd like to enquire about using All Saints please get in touch.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Welcome

We are a Church of England parish church in the central area of Headington, Oxford.

You can learn more about our beliefs and worship here.

Where and When?

We meet at All Saints church building (find us here) for our Sunday Service starting at 10:00am. When you arrive, you will be greeted by one of our welcomers who will give you a service booklet, a bulletin and a hymn book. There is no need to book.

What will happen?

Our worship is traditional, joyful and friendly. Hymns are accompanied by the organ and choir. The service lasts for about an hour.
You are welcome to join in as much as you like - or just listen quietly if you prefer.

We celebrate communion every week. All who profess belief in the Lord Jesus Christ and who have been baptised are warmly invited to participate with us in the Lord’s Supper.

What should I wear?

You will find people in t-shirts and jeans and others in suits and dresses. Come in whatever you find most comfortable.

Is the church accessible?

There is wheelchair access via ramp at the south door (on All Saints Road). We have a sound loop for anyone who needs it - please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up.

Do you have toilets?

Yes! There is one toilet, fully accessible and with baby change facilities, downstairs.

What about children?

We welcome children at all our services and we encourage them to participate in our worship. There is a small Sunday School that usually meets in the side chapel. You can read more here. We also have a children's corner at the back where parents can take children when necessary and where the children can play during the after service refreshments.

Do you serve tea & coffee?

You are really welcome to stay for tea, coffee and biscuits after the 10am service.
