Trouble finding a church in Milwaukee that doesn't require you to be a member to get married....

I am not from Milwaukee, I am from NY. I kinda went through the same thing. I was a member of a Church, but then when I moved, I didn't know that I was no longer considered a member of that Church, even though it was where I received all my sacraments. Anyway, when I went back to my original church to set the date they told us that technically we cannot get married there because it is no longer our parish. The priest did say, however, that if we go to our current parish and have them write a letter that "releases" us, they will marry us no problem. Maybe mention that and see if something can be done... Good luck!!

Try a Unitarian Universalist church. They are typically willing to marry you regardless of your religion.

I don't have any suggestions, but I just wanted to pop in and say I'm having this problem too! Ugh. My current church is actually my favorite option, but has two kind of huge issues with it. Which is another story... lol. But you could try Methodist churches. I know that many in my area allow those who aren't members, although at an increased price. :/ Good luck, though!

Thankyou very much ladies for your comments and/or suggestions! This is really frustrating but I know it will all work itself out. I REFUSE to be a Bridezilla....lol

You could always pay out the wazoo and get married at the Milwaukee Art Museum!! I went there once and fell in love and dreamed of having my wedding there! Totally was out of my budget though! haha.

I'd suggest using your own church. Just pencil in your calendar when the schedule will be released- and call that day. The entire month of November, be asking the person who does the scheduling...

But I'd find your reception venue first, and make sure they have the date available you want. Then, you can have the back up plan of getting married at the recpetion venue if for some odd reason your church isn't available.

Very good suggestion Meghan. Thank you! I just feel as if we are taking a risk with waiting until November because if that date isn't available, then we would have a problem.

Hi Kiana, my fiance and I live near Waukesha. We've found a place called the Wedding Gardens in Allenton, which is close to Germantown and Jackson. They have an all faiths chapel that can seat 400. It looks very pretty on their website. Not sure if this helps you at all - Milwaukee is a big small town!
