I need Church Feedback

OK so many of you know I am searching for anew church I made a bunch of calls today and all of you were right, me being Lutheran is not a problem at all! My and my FI not being parishoner's at many churches is...

Here are 3 I found that stand out to me the most any feed back would be appreciated! Oh and not being a parishoner at these is cool. I am leaning towards a more cathedral style church bc that's what I had and loved at the Lutheran one.

So I called St.Patrick's in Glen Cove waiting to hear back from them...

I have a meeting on Saturday with St. Catherine of Siena in Franklin Square. Not many pics of it but Priest was very cool on the phone. Seems big and pretty...

finally

I called St.Agnes Cathedral in RVC and they said that I have to call 1 year before the date, so late August, bc they hold a year for their parishoners after that non parishinors can get married there. That place looks AMAZING!

So do I wait a month and take a chance or not?

Also any feed back on these churches?

St. Pat's church in GC is beautiful and definitely has the cathedral feel that you are going for. I have seen a couple of weddings there and its really pretty.
They are really nice...I'm most likely going to do my pre-cana through them and they have been really helpful.
HTH....good luck!

FH and I live in RVC and he goes to that church (me being jewish, do not)

one of the fathers there is co-officiating our ceremony at RH and i am sure he will help you out, he is so so nice!

We already booked him. Churches kind of freak me out but this one is so nice. Great for out door photos.

FM me if you want his contact info!

I was just at St. Agnes last night and yes it is a beautiful church! With a verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry long aisle! And its true that you have to wait until a year before. Honestly I would wait but I would also book with another church....just in case. If you book with another church all you have to do is write a letter releasing that date.

i would-
if thats your really wedding date, i see that youre getting married on a thursday. if thats the case, you dont really have to worry about the church booking up quickly. (and other vendors- ah i love this thursday thing!)

Do I have to leave a deposit with one though? I left one with the lutheran church I am not using anymore. I am not sure yet whether I will get it back or not and I don't want to lose more money

We didnt give the father any money for our ceremony either. Actually... he didnt even tell us how much it will cost... maybe it is free!
