It's a great church to have a traditional catholic wedding in, but make sure you know what traditional catholic wedding means.

PROS: It's a beautiful church. I wanted something more traditional and she wanted simple and clean like her church at home. This was spot on for both of us. Also, the wedding music coordinator (organist) and wedding coordinator were pleasant and helpful, though I know the organist may be leaving soon. Music (organist and our string quartet) sounded great. The officiant was genuine and gave a great message.

This is a church that currently has a strict interpretation of the liturgy. For some, this may have some unexpected surprises (e.g. bridal party doesn't stand with you, there is no kiss or "now pronounce you husband and wife", music restrictions, etc) so be sure to have a candid discussion with the church's wedding coordinator ahead of time. Again, I don't think that's bad, just be sure it's what you want.

I was a member there and got treated like I was an outsider and my wedding wasn't as important as the next one. Which turns out that wedding had a lot more money behind it. So that's what was important. It made for a very stressful time for me.

we were married in my church. The priest that we wanted to marry us, got moved one month before our wedding. I was very upset. He called and told us that we had 2 choices, the primary priest at the church or the new deacon. Since my husband is not Catholic, he left it up to me. Personally I did not like the other priest so we decided to have the new Deacon do our ceremony. We met with him once prior to the wedding. He ran through the whole ceremony with us. At the end, he left out "You may know kiss the bride". My husband caught that and said oh we're at the end so that's when I get to kiss you. The Deacon just looked at us in shock. He told us that he would not be saying that, but if we wanted to give each other a quick little kiss then he would allow that. I was shocked. Ever since I was a little girl I always imagined being able to kiss my husband on the day of my wedding. But our wedding ceremony came and at the end I was still hoping for him to say it, but he never did. So my husband & I just stood up there, half in shock, didn't kiss each other and walked down the aisle.
