Weddings
The Cathedral of St. Philip is a holy and majestic place to have your wedding. In addition to our beautiful facilities, we have dedicated clergy, staff, and volunteers who are eager to help you celebrate this holy occasion with our characteristic grace, excellence, and hospitality.
To be married at the Cathedral, at least one of the persons to be married must have been on the membership rolls for at least a year. The officiating clergy should first be contacted for consent. A deposit of one-half of the total fee is due at the time of booking, with the remainder due 30 days before the ceremony.
Marriages are normally celebrated on Saturdays, at a time agreed upon by the couple, officiant and pastoral care coordinator. Dates may be reserved no less than 90 days prior and no more than a year in advance.
For more details regarding weddings at the Cathedral, please read our Wedding Guidelines and Policies. You can also download the Wedding Booklet or contact Hillary Jones, 404-365-1038.
