AI, Blockchain and the Return to Church:
How One Man Is Reinventing the UK Wedding Industry
- In an age where digital technology moves faster than tradition, one man is daring to bridge both worlds — by bringing back the beauty of church weddings while embracing the most advanced tools of the internet age.
- Heath Hampson isn’t new to weddings. In fact, he's been a key figure in the industry for nearly four decades. From his early days as a wedding DJ in Gretna Green to transforming a disused Catholic church into the renowned Anvil Hall wedding venue, Heath has helped over 10,000 couples say “I do” in style.
- But now, in 2025, he’s taking his experience to the next level — combining artificial intelligence, blockchain, and a passion for spiritual ceremony into one groundbreaking platform: ChurchWed.com.
“Back in 1998, when the internet arrived in the UK, Heath realised the wedding industry was about to change. Now, with AI and Web3 technology, we’re on the brink of another transformation,”
- ChurchWed.com is more than just a wedding directory. It’s an AI-enhanced wedding planner that gives couples the chance to discover meaningful church venues and trusted local suppliers — all while using smart technology to make planning seamless.
- But what’s truly revolutionary? The businesses who join the platform don’t just advertise. They own a piece of it.
- With a one-time £49 payment, each wedding venue or supplier receives a digital token on the blockchain, representing shared ownership in the platform itself. In other words, this is wedding planning meets community-powered technology — and it’s turning heads.
“We’ve had Web1 with basic websites, Web2 with social media… now Web3 is here — with AI, blockchain, and digital ownership at its heart,”
- As major tech companies fight over search dominance, platforms like ChurchWed.com are cutting through the noise, helping small businesses stay visible in a world increasingly ruled by algorithms.
- And for couples? It means simpler, smarter, and more heartfelt wedding planning — guided not just by trends, but by a sense of place, purpose, and community.
- With the decline in traditional church weddings over recent decades, ChurchWed.com may be the spark that rekindles the romance between couples and the sacred spaces once central to our lives.
“Churches are more than buildings. They’re witnesses to vows, vessels of heritage — and now, thanks to AI, part of the digital future too.”
