Re: catholic church ceremony

They give a book that has an outline of the ceremony and all the prayers. YOu basically fill in the blanks. The priest follows the outline.
WE got the book when we first went to book the church. Then i didn't see the priest again until 2 weeks before! It all worked fine and the ceremony was beautiful.

Re: catholic church ceremony

Some random questions that could be helpful are:

-Can they arrange the Atlar Servers
-Restrictions on decorations (No Scotch Tape/Tacs, No rose petals, no rice/bird seed throwing outside)
-All church fees (including organist, vocalists)
-2 readings - can you also have someone read the prayer of the faithful (some churches only allow priests to read them)
-How many people will they allow to bring up the gifts
-Is there a wedding before/after yours
-Set up Pre Cana
-Set up Rehearsal date/time

The hosts and wine.

Are you having a Mass? If you not, you won't have this part in the Ceremony.

You should receive a book with guidelines at PreCana.
