Neither my fiancé, nor I are Catholic... but we do want a church wedding and it seems all the churches are Catholic...

  1. Would the Catholic churches permit us to marry in their chapel?
  2. Alternatively, do you know of ANY other churches we would be welcome in?  

It doesn't have to be Christian either... a temple, a chapel... any facility that lends the air of solemnity and stillness we are looking for.  

 

Any guidance is most appreciated!

Congrats and welcome to the site! You'll definitely find tons of information here that will help you with your planning, and everyone is very willing to share!

 

That being said, you've asked a tough question that I absolutely don't know the answer to! Hopefully someone that has a bit more experience with that will be able to chime in and help out! You didn't say what country you're referring to - the rules may be different from one to the next.

 

You could also try doing a search in the search bar and see what comes up. There have many so many thousands fo brides on this site that someone may have posted something along the way that will give you an answer.

 

Good luck and happy planning!!

It's unlikely that the Catholic churches will allow you to use their facilities. They are fairly strict about their procedures, and I know that they require a letter of approval from the priest in the home parish to perform weddings in their churches.

 

There should be some sort of protestant churches there - though not many. I know one resort (El Dorado Royale) has a chapel that can be used for any ceremony (not specifically a Catholic chapel).

 

It looks like there's a Presbyterian church in Cancun:

I did a few google searches and found some other Christian churches that meet, but wasn't really able to find photos of their facilities (e.g. is it a small commercial building vs. a more formal church).

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
