St. Romuald Parish Wedding Guidelines 2013

1. SIX MONTHS prior to your wedding call Lyvenia Anthony at 863-2504 to make arrangements for using the church.  She can show you what decorations the parish has available.  Lyvenia is responsible for making any changes to the window decorations and altar and putting these things back following the wedding. 

 

2. All weddings must follow the Diocesan Liturgy Guidelines and these Guidelines.  The pastor must approve any changes to the decorations made in the sanctuary.

 

3. The church has candelabras that are decorated with greenery. You may add bows and/or flowers to compliment your color scheme.   The church has candles, ivy and globes that fit over the candles that may be used to decorate the window sills.  The church also has a unity candle holder that you are welcome to use.

 

4. There are other decorated for weddings that you might want to use for the doors.  You may change the color of the bows, however, you are asked not to remove any of the decorations. Please have someone designated to change them back after your wedding.

 

5. Please use pew clips (not tape) to decorate the pews.  It is requested that you use birdseed or bubbles instead of rice.  The bride and attendants may use the cry room for dressing.

 

6. It is your responsibility to have someone designated to clean up immediately after the wedding ceremony.  This includes the choir loft, sacristy, vestibule, cry room, bathrooms and pews. 

 

7. All music must follow the Liturgy Guidelines issued by the diocese.  The basic rule is that songs sung in church should have some reference to God.  Otherwise popular songs are best suited for the reception.  If you have a question about any music please consult the pastor.
