ST DUNSTAN’S IN THE EAST WEDDING
Planning a St Dunstan’s in the East Wedding? Thinking about eloping in London?
There are so many incredible licensed, and unlicensed spots where you could say your ‘I dos’ in London, and if you’re looking for somewhere completely unique, and magical, right in the very heart of London – St Dunstan’s is an incredible spot.
ZACK & COLLEEN’S WEDDING AT ST DUNSTAN’S IN THE EAST
Well, would you get engaged and married on the same day? That’s exactly what happened at Zack & Colleen’s wedding at St Dunstan’s in the East.
Colleen always knew that she didn’t want to be engaged for long, and had always hoped that she’d get proposed to, AND married on the same day. And Zack totally delivered, and they had an incredible London elopement at one of London’s most iconic & magical locations – St Dunstan’s in the East.
Very popular with tourists, Zack & Colleen took up space in a corner of the ruins & got married by a humanist celebrant.
Since the wedding was a complete surprise to Colleen – Zack organised everything. Since they’re not local – they didn’t have any family present – but instead incorporated their family throughout the ceremony, and had their wedding party there for support. And Zack organised every single thing (including hiring me!), except for Colleen’s dress, which he left up to her bridesmaids.
Getting married in Central London meant that after their ceremony, Zack, Colleen & I could wander the streets looking for interesting spots to take photographs, and we even headed down to the Thames for ultra iconic London vibes.
CAN YOU GET MARRIED ANYWHERE IN LONDON?
If you’re having a legal ceremony separate to your wedding or elopement – then yes! Just plan your legal wedding on a different day, and that frees you up to do what you like in London.
St Dunstan’s is a publicly available venue, so it’s open to the public. You might want to hire a humanist celebrant, like Zack & Colleen did.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO GET MARRIED AT ST DUNSTANS IN THE EAST
ST DUNSTANS IN THE EAST WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
The amazing structure of St Dunstan’s in the East surrounds you for your elopement, and straight after you’re done, we can take photos throughout the gardens.
You’ve got the more secluded side, which is technically the outside of the church, and then a completely different look on the inside of the church for photos afterwards.
The best thing about where St Dunstan’s is, is that you’re a short walk away from the Thames which gives you some great photo opportunities and a way to explore London.
Looking for more iconic locations? We can just hop in a black cab and head there!
HOW CAN I GET MARRIED AT ST DUNSTAN’S IN THE EAST?
St Dunstan’s in the East is not a venue, but rather a public space, so it’s recommended that you come with a VERY small group of people (or just yourselves!).
You’ll need to organise a celebrant, or perhaps a friend to marry you. (Remember, you’ll need to do the legal marriage ceremony seperately or in your home country).
Anything outside of a celebrant is really up to you! You could arrange a videographer, a bouquet, a meal for later or a special London day once you’re done with your photos.
