Holy Trinity Church Barkingside - Wedding VenueWith over 160 years experience in the provision of weddings, Holy Trinity Barkingside is a beautiful 1840s building, offering stylish ceremonies to brides and grooms from Ilford, Woodford, Chigwell, Romford, Redbridge, indeed anywhere in east London or west Essex.
Unlike hotels and many other venues where people might consider having their wedding ceremony, Holy Trinity Barkingside does not exist to make a profit. As a church, part of Holy Trinity's raison d'etre is to encourage and enable people to get married and to make it as easy as possible for them to do so. Hence Holy Trinity's commitment to providing weddings that are beautiful and personalised to your needs at the minimum price that the law permits it to charge.
Contrary to popular perceptions, a church wedding is not just for those who are especially religious. While there are some rules that have to be followed as to what goes into the Service, there is also much room for it to be tailored to fit the personality of the bride and the groom. This is particularly the case in terms of the music (which can include secular cds as well as Christian hymns) and the readings (which can include poems or extracts from novels as well as passages from the bible).
The vicar of Holy Trinity is Fr Edmund Cargill Thompson. He was educated at Harrow with a first in theology from Oxford. He worked for several years as a chartered accountant before being ordained. His particular gifts are in preaching, public speaking, and communication skills. He trained for the priesthood at Cranmer Hall in Durham.
