Wedding Guidelines


Wedding Guidelines

It is St. Paul's policy to only marry active members of this parish, or their sons and daughters who have moved out of the area to attend college or to serve in the military.

It has been our experience that because we do have a beautiful church many wish to use this church as the setting for their wedding, but do not intend to make St. Paul's their church home.

If you are honestly seeking a church home to help support you in your spiritual life and marriage, and you are sincere in making a commitment to become a member, please visit us and talk to the priest. We are always happy to welcome new couples to St. Paul's!

If you are an active member, or a son or daughter in college or the military, please contact the priest before scheduling a date for a wedding.

Also note that pre-marriage counseling takes about 8 one hour sessions with the priest, using the Prepare/Enrich Program. The average costs associated with a wedding at St. Paul's are about $800, which does not include flowers.

Please call the church if you would like to receive the guideline for wedding expenses or the list of appropriate music for weddings.
