HELP - Need a Ceremony location...

We have planned our wedding kind of backwards, we have booked the reception at Villa Lombardis but now we need to find a place for the ceremony. Originally we were going to use my childhood church, but it is too small & ugly, but we would still like to use my priest, just at another location. We can't use RH because it would be an 8:00 ceremony which is too late for us. We looked a the Vanderbuilt Museum, but only host's outside and Nov maybe too cold, also looked at Hilton Garden in but also very small banquet room, planting fields was a little expensive. Please help....any other Suggestions.

try other churches. Some places don't require that you're a parish member to have your wedding there. If you're Catholic, keep in mind that the church doesn't 'officially' recognize marriage unless it's in a church (or believe ME... I would get married ON the beach!)

Another church maybe an option except that my FH is not confirmed or made his communion and he is not eager to take any classes. Im not Catholic either - went to Episcople church growing up.

maybe you can find a 'community' church? I don't think they have restrictions. I don't know much about them, but they're out there! Sorry I'm not too much of a help!

Im looking into the westbury gardens and it states that if it rains outside you can cancel(not an option)or be moved inside. Im waiting for the woman to get back to me with details.

You can also get in touch with other churches such as luthern or episcopal, we originally went to St. Johns in huntington and they were willing to marry us even though I've never been baptised and my husband was never confirmed. I was also married before and havent gotten an annullment and that was okay.
