Our tradition both celebrates and blesses marriage. We want each and every service and program as well as the people who attend them to be treated with the respect they deserve.
Weddings are usually Episcopal liturgies but may also be interfaith. We bless civil marriages or act as agents of the State of New York and perform marriages. However, our primary function is as a religious institution - a church- and we want to make certain that the services that we offer at the Cathedral match the expectations of our couples. Weddings at the Cathedral will only be performed by Cathedral clergy. Interfaith ministers and visiting priests can take part in the liturgy.
There are several options for where you can have your ceremony, when being married at the Cathedral.
Organ music is available in these chapels via our portable organ.
