A Sacramental Celebration of Love and Commitment

At Christ Church Cathedral, marriage is more than a ceremony—it is a sacramental rite of the church. In accordance with the Book of Common Prayer, our services are occasions of great joy, dignity, and deep spiritual significance.

As a community of faith, we are proud to be an open and affirming Cathedral. The sacrament of Holy Matrimony is available to Cathedral members of any orientation or gender identity.
