• There are no facilities at the Cathedral for the wedding party to dress before the ceremony.


  • The tradition of an aisle runner was developed to protect a bride's gown when church floors were often dirty. That is hardy the case at the Cathedral. An aisle runner can present a hazard due primarily to the marble floors.  For this reason, it is preferable not to have an aisle runner, but if you choose to have one, arrangements should be made with your florist to provide one. The length of the main aisle is 90 feet. 


  • While not a part of the official Catholic Rite of marriage, couples may choose to light a unity candle at the wedding. If a unity candle is to be used, it must be provided by the couple and the couple should take it, as a memento, after the ceremony.


  • At the Cathedral, we ask that brides use prudence when choosing a wedding or attendant's gown.  We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.


  • The consumption of alcohol on Cathedral property before or after weddings is strictly prohibited. If consumption is discovered, those violation this policy will not be allowed to participate in the ceremony.


  • All wedding are expected to start at the announced time. Any delay will lessen the amount of time for pictures afterwards.


  • If choosing to have an outside professional wedding consultant, their responsibilities do not pertain the the liturgy and they are not to interfere in any way with the responsibilities of the Cathedral wedding coordinators who have complete oversight of the rehearsal, ceremony, sanctuary and celebration of your wedding.


  • Receiving lines and guest books are not permitted. Please keep in mind your time constraints.
