Hello everyone!

I hope you can help me out....

I will be having my reception in Chateau Briand (located in Carle Place, LI--Westbury) in May 2011. I want to have the ceremony in a Catholic church nearby the RH, but I am having a hard time finding one that will marry us (being that we are not 'members'). I don't like the feeling of getting married at a RH's chapel, but that would be a choice if I was forced to do so. Can anyone help me with the following question?:

Do you know any Catholic churches nearby or surrounding area that can marry a couple regardless of them being a 'member'?

Hi everyone!

I wanted to give you a brief update. I just booked my church! Thanks to everyone's suggestion, I was able to finalize this and find a place that my FH and I feel comfy.

We are getting married in Holy Name of Mary in Valley Stream! They marry non-members and have a great staff!

By the way, St. Raphaels in East Meadow does not marry non-members. Also, St. Barnabas in Bellmore was willing to marry us (non-members). However, I did not feel comfortable with the priest that we spoke with so we kept on looking.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions and great help!
