Weddings
The Cathedral is a beautiful and holy place to celebrate the covenant of Christian marriage. In addition to our beautiful facilities, we have dedicated clergy, staff, and volunteers who are eager to help you celebrate this holy occasion with our characteristic grace, excellence, and hospitality.
Preparation for marriage includes meetings with the officiating priest and participation in a one-day premarital workshop offered through the Cathedral Counseling Center. To be married at the Cathedral, at least one member of the couple must have been an active member of the Cathedral for at least one year. Couples should first contact a member of the clergy to begin the process and discuss their plans. A deposit of one-half of the total fee is due at the time of booking, with the remainder due 30 days before the ceremony.
Weddings are typically held on Saturdays, at a time agreed upon by the couple, officiating clergy, and the liturgy coordinator. Dates may be reserved no less than 90 days prior and no more than a year in advance.
