Re: How early do you need to book the church? any recommendations?

I would call the rectory office of the churches you're intersted in to see if they have your date available as soon as possible.

i booked the church 1 year and 7 months before...definitely call ASAP if you already booked your hall to even make sure they have your date available at the church

I agree..call up churches ASAP...theres a lot of restrictions and rules n things to follow and sometimes they cant accomodate your date or time you want/need..

we booked ours about a month after we got engaged.. church and hall i think are the most important to coordinate. I would def start calling now!

Well for a Catholic church you have to book it well in advance b/c you'll have to do pre-cana. Most parishes only allow members to get married there. I booked mine 1 1/2 yrs in advance and the time I wanted was already taken!

I would call ASAP also. . . they book up just as fast as RHs!!!

I'm not getting married in a church so I am only speaking from advice given to me...but don't tell any church you speak with that you have already booked an rh...because they want the church to be your first priority they sometimes go out of their way to make the church not available on that day if you let it be known the rh is booked (again this is just advice I was given, not my experience so I'm not sure how accurate it is, but thought I'd share)

You can probably find a church to marry you, but I highly doubt that a RC church will w/out you living her, attending precana, etc. I know from experience that lots of brides who have already been married Catholic have had their SECOND weddings at presbyterian churches without issue. Good luck!

We're having our reception at the Bourne too... And we're having our ceremony at Saint Ann's Episcopal Church in Sayville. It's not far and it's really prettty... my FH is Catholic too and they didn't have any problem marrying us.
