Complete the Wedding Intake Form
Oops, Don't Set a Date Yet!
We cannot set your wedding date until after you have met with the priest. When our wedding coordinator receives your intake form, she will contact you to help you set up an appointment.
Our Wedding Coordinator Will Contact You
Your wedding coordinator will give you a handy checklist to keep you on track with the wedding process. She will give you a list of the documents you will need to gather before your appointment with a priest. As soon as you return the completed forms to her, she will book your appointment with a priest.
At Your Appointment
One of our priests will meet with you to determine if you are free to marry in the Catholic Church. He will talk with you both and get to know you. Please bring all your paperwork with you to this meeting.
Pay the Deposit and Book the Date
After the meeting, you will pay your deposit and set your date. See the wedding fees.
Our Liturgy and Music Coordinator Will Contact You
She will go over all the details of your wedding, such as the Scripture readings, your vows, the music and more.

Witness Appointment
A witness is someone who has known you for a long time: a family member or a long-time friend. The bride needs to choose a witness and the groom needs to choose a witness. The witnesses will need to meet with a priest.
