Beautiful church

This church is gorgeous, it goes without saying. The photos you will get here are unmatched. They have very strict rules - so make sure you understand all of them before you commit to a wedding here. No signs, no runners, dress code, procession rules, music choices. Programs require approval. Debra, the wedding coordinator, was very responsive and easy to work with.

Unforgettable.

Gorgeous Cathedral Basilica. Getting married at this church is a princess dream. No need to decorate as the Cathedral has amazing architecture.

We loved the Cathedral Basilica, as it is breathtaking, inspiring, and absolutely amazing. We became parishioners and will continue attending mass here, however there were some things that I would recommend being prepared for. First it was extremely expensive and did eat up a big portion of our budget. There were a lot of hoops that you had to jump through in regards to having the program proof read by Ms. McAlee, the paperwork, and other things attached to the wedding process. We worked with Deacon Tom and Father Oscar...both were amazing and really made the experience enjoyable (pre-cana and numerous meetings to prepare for the mass). Father Oscar was wonderful and did a great job with the ceremony. Overall, if you can afford it, I would really recommend the Cathedral for a ceremony.

Gorgeous Church but Wedding Admin is Rude

This cathedral basilica is incredibly stunning and truly a special place to get married. However, do note they require a lot of paperwork and are very strict about what they require, which is understandable. However, the most frustrating thing is their wedding administrator, Debra, who is rude and condescending. She made the process more complicated and stressful than it needed to be. If they replaced her, it would definitely be a more pleasant experience.
