Church & Temple Wedding Venues in Hampton Roads

This is a relatively small church, though beautiful, so my only warning is that there is not much room to just hang out before the ceremony. There is also a preservation fee, since this is now the National Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham. It was a wonderful place for our wedding, and we highly recommend it. It is a Catholic church, and so it is unlikely that non-catholic weddings will be allowed. It may be possible to have the reception there as well, but we did not.

My church was wonderful, and we met with the pastor many times to finalize the ceremony. It was beautiful, I highly recommend this church. We ave a donation to pay for the sevices of our pastor.

We were able to decorate the worship room the day before. Their wedding coordiator Lisa was amazing! She wasn't affaird to take control and get my bridal party where they needed to be. We loved the ceremony given by Rich. And the sound people were great. All in all a wonderful venue for our ceremony.

Morning Star Baptist Church is a wonderful place. Pastor Elliott is a wonderful person and awesome pastor! The church is beautiful!

This was a wonderful place to be married.You must be a member to have the ceremony site fee waived. It is a great place to be a member. The alter guild is great- they provide the flowers and they will arange the reherasal and arrange everyone to walk down the isle. The draw backs were the church required fees. The organist is $400. Which compared to what other churchs charge for their organist is outrageous. I was very upset when the organist states that she was not famiiar with common wedding music. Overall, not including the church fee which is waived if you are a member it is about $800. Which to reserve a church is very pricey.

Rabbi Michael Panitz performed the best wedding cerermony I ever witnessed. You may think that I am saying this because it was my own wedding, but the guests agree. He took the time to get to know us, which was a difficult task since we live in different states. He was flexible, and more importantly knew that the day was about all about us ... he was there to deliver whatever we wanted.

We were concerned with the location as a destination Church. However, the staff and Pastor Marc Rickabaugh was exceptional and we really enjoyed our marriage counsel with him. Since we wanted to included all wedding appointments in one trip to the area the staff worked with us to make sure we covered the music selection, ceremony procedures, tour of the church for the wedding as well as the do's and don't items such as no bubbles so we used wedding wands. As a destination location you could not have asked for more the wedding ceremony was perfect as we had 3 officiants perform the ceremony. We had Pastor Rickabaugh perform the introduction and Marriage message, Groom's Pastor performed the ceremony and Brides' Pastor who performed a Ceremony Blessing. The Church welcomed our officiants and was more than happy to make the wedding ceremony a day to remember and it was - wow perfect.

Church was nice and simple which allowed us to decorate appropriately. The staff was wonderful. As we are church members, the ceremony site rental was free. Cost for renting the reception room was reasonable. It held up to 200 guests. Perfect day!

My Pastor served as the Officiant for our wedding ceremony. I couldn't have asked another because my pastor has known me since I was a little girl. He shared God's word about marriage and recommended a book we should read as a couple. We have finished the book and plan on giving this book to friends who get married next.
