Marriage is one of God’s greatest blessings and we praise Him for this incredible gift. St. Mary of the Lake has a rich history of wedding celebrations, and as your church home we would love for you to be part of that story.
To begin the marriage preparation process contact Fr. Zipp at least six months before the wedding.
A principal component for marriage preparation is the Prepare Inventory which each engaged couple experiences with Fr. Zipp. After this is completed, the couple plan their wedding liturgy.
You’ll hear from our Wedding Coordinator, Cheryl Alarcon, who will work with you as you prepare for your special day. Cheryl will be responsible for overseeing the wedding rehearsal and directing the wedding.
St. Mary’s is pleased to make our facilities available for weddings. The basic fee for a wedding prepared and celebrated at St. Mary of the Lake Church is $325.00 for parishioners and $425 for non parishioners. The community room can be rented as well for an additional fee.
You or your family must reside within St. Mary of the Lake Parish boundaries, or be registered as a member.
Weddings are typically scheduled on Saturdays at 2:00 p.m. Other days of the week can be scheduled upon request, depending upon availability.
