Weddings at Saint James
Congratulations on your engagement and may God continue to bless your love for each other. If you are looking for a Church to conduct your wedding, here are a few things you should know.
- The church is gorgeous, spacious, warm and inviting.
- Weddings with up to 300 guests can be accommodated quite comfortably. For smaller (under 40 people), more intimate weddings, they may be held in the Choir pews at the front of the church.
- Our Director of Music, Stephen Holowitz, is an exceptionally accomplished musician and is gifted at helping you tailor-make the music for your wedding day.
- The Memorial Garden at the front of the church on Askin Street (see below), with its archway and cloister, is a perfect spot for wedding photos.
- For non-church members, a fee of $750 covers use of the church, organist, clergy, caretaker, candelabra, unity candle...
- Each year, usually in March, we host a one-day Marriage Preparation program. It is led by four couples from our parish who are gifted in the areas of communication, finances, sexuality and families of origin. The response to this workshop is overwhelmingly positive.
If you wish to look around, either drop in and pay a visit or contact our Administrative Assistant, Carole Alce, to book an appointment. Any firm arrangements for your marriage, of course, would be made between the couple and the clergy.
