Pre-Sikh Wedding Ceremony
If we make our way inside the Gurdwara, we first encounter the open, high-ceiling foyer area. This is the usual place for the Milni ceremony to take place. The foyer’s openness makes it ideal for photography because of the excellent lighting. During the summer, the Gurdwara’s outdoor grounds also offer exquisite cinematic shots.
The Darbar Sahib (Prayer Hall) on both floors is very open, with copious space to sit. Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj’s Thabia (Throne) is a beautiful contemporary design. The minimal and open look fits in elegantly with the rest of the Darbar Sahib. Leamington Gurdwara caters very well to all-size guest lists. Both Darbar Sahibs offer a capacity of 550 people.
There are a total of three Darbar Sahibs. The main Darbar Sahib is on the first floor, and then two others are on the second floor. The two halls on the second floor can be opened up to create one hall the same size as the hall on the first floor. This flexibility works really well, regardless of whether your guest list is small or large.
Leamington Spa Gurdwara offers an internal team of wedding registrars. Once the Anand Karaj is complete, the Darbar Sahib typically hosts registry weddings.
I have filmed many Sikh weddings throughout the UK and often found couples just following the rituals without understanding them. Gurdwara Sahib Leamington and Warwick made an extra effort to educate the couples about the significance of the Anand Karaj, particularly the Lavan ceremony. The Gurdwara Sahib Leamington’s commette allows interreligious or mixed marriages, even though most Sikh temples only allow Sikh marriages.

Post Anand Karaj
It is becoming increasingly common for couples to opt for a minimalist wedding day. This includes the Sikh ceremony, followed by a cake-cutting ceremony and reception lunch. The financial benefits speak for themselves with this approach. The availability of secondary venues can also be limited on specific dates. For this reason, couples will decide to have a reception dinner within the Gurdwara.
