We just got married at St. Jude Cathedral and had a great experience! Carol is the wedding coordinator there and is the absolute best. She is so nice and helps you every step of the way including marriage prep for the Catholic church. We got married in Our Lady's Chapel because we felt the Cathedral was a bit too modern for us. We had 140 guests and it was the perfect fit! We are not originally from the area and were having our wedding reception in St. Pete Beach but they were so accommodating and helpful in arranging for us to bring in a priest who was personally known to us. I highly recommend this church for anyone looking for a beachy reception but wants to get married in the church. It was a 20min drive to St. Pete Beach Hotels -- not bad at all! We loved it :)
