Catholic Priest/Minister recommendations for outdoor wedding

Can anyone recommend a catholic priest who will perform the ceremony at a venue outside of the church? If not, can you recommend a minister? I am having my ceremony at Flowerfields.

Thanks!

This is Val's best friend Danielle I am not married yet. haha

Catholic priests won't do an outdoor wedding. They aren't recognized byt he Church. I know some girls used some retired and former priests to perform the ceremony, but I don't know who offhand. Good luck though, I wish I was getting married outside!

We are using Monsignore Lisante. He is preforming our interfaith ceremony at our RH. FM for details.

A priest will do an outdoor wedding only if it is under a structure. I was using one @ the Chateau Briand outside. They consider that a structure. A gazebo is not a structure he said. A priest will only marry a couple outside the catholic church if one is catholic and the other is NON Christian
