Celebrate Your Wedding At the Cathedral

Celebrating your wedding in our Cathedral will be a special and memorable occasion for you, your family and your friends. Here your wedding ceremony will glorify God and proclaim the joy of love.
 
The Cathedral offers not only a stunningly beautiful setting, one of the finest pipe organs in the country, talented cantors, a professional choir, and professional instrumentalists, but also a staff who will guide and assist you through every step of the wedding ceremony.
 
As an added convenience for couples, we have an online process to plan your ceremony. This gives couples as much time as possible to review the information, listen to music samples, collect their ideas and sketch out many details before meeting with our staff to discuss and finalize the music and ceremony.
 
According to the couples who have celebrated their wedding here, our fee schedule is reasonable for all the convenience and assistance they receive.
 

Weddings are usually celebrated at 11:30am, 4:30pm or 6:30pm on Saturdays.  Other days and times may be requested as available on the cathedral calendar.

Your FIRST STEP is to contact your pastor to begin your marriage preparation.  

Once your pastor has approved your wedding, contact Adriana Mears in our office or call 816-842-0416 x124 - to pay the fee and to schedule a date and time for your wedding.

The next step is to contact Dr. Mario Pearson for LOGIN information to access the information booklet, listen to music samples and complete all the requested information in the online forms. 

Our music department assists couples in the planning and hiring professional cathedral cantors and optional instrumentalists.
