Advice needed for Catholic and Non-religious!!

My understanding is that the Catholic church prohibits or at least strongly discourages second ceremonies, on the theory that this would appear to put them on a par with the Catholic ceremony and/or suggest that the Catholic ceremony was not enough. However, you'd really need to talk to your priest about this.

I’m having an outdoor wedding and a separate catholic wedding at church earlier/later for similar reasons do you. Locations are far out. I’m having a priest still do a blessing even though the actual sacrament is the church ceremony which is in my opinion, even better with a smaller intimate crowd(I.e 4-10 people max who will probably be family) You can also have a different officiant altogether at your outdoor ceremony. The Catholic Church is slowly changing outdoor wedding policy (so far two states only allow this!)
