3 Things to Consider When Planning a Church Wedding
These days, couples can get married pretty much anywhere from the beach to a museum to their tent at Burning Man, and the list goes on. However, a few generations ago there was only one acceptable location for a wedding ceremony?a location that remains popular with traditional couples even today: a church.
There are plenty of reasons to want a church wedding. Maybe you have a deep connection to your faith, or you have fond memories of growing up in the church. Maybe you want to make your traditional relatives happy. Maybe you just think the building is exceptionally beautiful! But whatever your reason for “going to the chapel,” make sure you consider these factors first.

If you are religious and you want to have a church wedding, your first instinct will probably be to visit your own local church. It’s the place where you worship each week, so it’s bound to be suitable for a wedding ceremony, right" Not always: if your church is too small for your guest list or even too simple for the style you want, you might consider checking out other churches in the area. Some of the most beautiful churches will open their doors to anyone who wants to use their space. They will rent out the sanctuary to any couple, regardless of faith. However, there are other churches that only allow their members to use their space?and if you find a church you absolutely love, you’ll need to find out which one you’re dealing with.
