Wedding location issue?

Question

Me and my fiance would like to get married sometime next year hopefully. But one thing ..... he is not religous and neither am I. Will a church let us get married in there place? I know you ahve to pay for it but though we are not part of their sect.

Answer 1

most churches won't let you get married in them unless you are a member of their congregation/a christian or  a firm believer. You are better off looking at other places since a church isn't what your looking for..try a banquet hall, or some kind of outdoors place.

Answer 2

If neither of you believe, why wed in a church?

Try

an art museum

a steamboat http://www.steamboatnatchez.com/wedding....

a beach

a hotel ballroom

a garden or park

your home or a family member's home

a bed & breakfast inn

There are many options.

Use a non-religious ceremony.  Maybe something similar to this?

If you don't believe, then don't ask to get married in a church.  That is enormously disrespectful to the church and its members.  Please select another location.

Answer 3

My wedding was in a reception hall with a judge officiating due to religious differences.  

How about a cruise, have the captain officiate.  Or, good old Vegas and be done with it.

Answer 4

A church will let you use their chapel for your wedding, you'll just have to pay. The only thing about having it in a church is that a lot of times they have rules as to what kind of music can be played and things like that. So if you're tastes are a little extreme than you may want to consider choosing another venue. Try looking around where you live and find places that do wedding/reception combos. A ballroom at a big hotel or even some really nice restaurants have big party rooms you can use and a lot of times those place provide the tables, table linens, seating, and will cater the meal.

Answer 5

Check out www.witchvox.com. You can search for clergy in your area, just because it says witch in the address doesn't mean you'll find only a bunch of witches. Our clergy doesn't practice a religion either. Or you can have a justice of peace marriage if that is what you want. A lot of Christians these days wont marry you unless you're a paying member of their church, they seem to be worried solely about money.

Answer 6

Maybe, but there are so many other great choices out there.

I got married in a private art gallery. We hosted the entire event, including reception in one place and had three floors of art for our guests to wander. It was unique and comparable or less than the cost of doing the same thing in a hotel ballroom.

Answer 7

Try a non- chruch option such as...

--  Fire halls

--  Elks Lodge

--  County or National Park (some have inside or outside areas to use for them)

There are all sorts of resources for whatever area you live in on the web.

We are non-denominational, and had ours in MEADOWLARK BOTANICAL GARDENS.  It was around $365 to rent an outdoor gazebo... but we got $100 back after two weeks (it was a deposit).

Have a great time!

Answer 8

There are so many locations to marry besides a church if that's not your thing. Try banquet halls, historical locations, B&B's parks, for your wedding site'

Answer 9

I'm not sure why you would want to get married in any "beautiful church" if you don't practice or believe in their teachings.  But neither here nor there, a few churces will perform a ceremony based on your monetary gift.  The vows can be written by you or the existing standard vows modified, but your minister will have final say and acceptance.  For example, If you want to leave out the word God, or the idol represented by that church, you most likely will not be able to marry there.  You also might consider that some "belivers" would be offended by your actions and either not come, or not offer their blessing.   It would be wise all the way around to consider marrying in another location and utilize your two beliefs.  You can obtain a "universal" minister that will marry you outside of a church.  Good Luck.

Answer 10

If you arent releigious why have a wwedding in a church?  Hire a justice of the peace and have it in a setting you love!

If you want a church try different religions and churches (skip catholic), for a fee someone would be willing to loan you their space.
