Weddings

At Christ Church Cathedral, marriage services are in accordance with the Book of Common Prayer and the approved liturgies of the Episcopal Church. Marriage is a sacramental rite in the Episcopal Church, a regular worship service of the church and, as such, is an occasion for both great joy and dignity. The canon law of the Church states that Holy Matrimony is a union “entered into within the community of faith.” At Christ Church, the sacrament of Holy Matrimony is available to Cathedral members of any orientation or gender identity.

If you would like to have a wedding on the campus of Christ Church Cathedral, please fill out the wedding information form and email our wedding coordinator, Lisa Viktorin. She will return calls in one to two business days.

Read the Unity in Mission Task Force report, whose recommendation the vestry has endorsed, and "I Will Bless You, and You Will Be a Blessing," an edition of the “Witnessing and Blessing of a Lifelong Covenant” that conforms to the version approved for use by the 78th General Convention of The Episcopal Church in 2015.
