A Catholic wedding is a sacrament, not just a ceremony. When two baptized Catholics marry, they confer the sacrament upon each other — their vows are a visible sign of God's covenant love. This page is here to help you plan a wedding that honors that truth, with vendors, resources, and guidance rooted in the faith.
Your Wedding Journey
The first step is contacting your parish priest. Most dioceses require at least 6–12 months of preparation. Your pastor will guide you through the diocesan requirements and schedule your ceremony.
Find Your Parish →Pre-Cana or other marriage preparation programs are required by most dioceses. These programs cover communication, finances, faith, and the theology of marriage.
USCCB Marriage Prep →The Church teaches that spouses are called to be open to life. NFP is a beautiful, effective, and morally sound approach to family planning that strengthens marriages.
NFP Resources →Find photographers, florists, caterers, and musicians who understand and respect the sacred nature of your sacrament. Our directory features Catholic and Catholic-friendly vendors.
Browse Directory →Work with your priest to select Scripture readings, music, and the order of the Mass. Every element of the liturgy should reflect the sacramental nature of what you're doing.
Ask Catholic AI →After the wedding, invest in your marriage. Attend a Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend, join a couples' small group, and pray together daily. A sacramental marriage requires ongoing nurturing.
