Weddings

Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! We are delighted you are seeking God’s blessing on your marriage at Church of the Redeemer.

The Celebration and Blessing of a Marriage is a sacrament of the Church, and the liturgy must be conducted according to the rubrics of the Book of Common Prayer and the directives of the Rector.

It is a practice of most parishes, including Redeemer, to conduct a marriage service only when there is a pastoral relationship with one or both of the parties. This custom is an expression of our pastoral concern for a relationship with the couple before, during, and after the ceremony.

Any full-time priest on staff at Redeemer may perform your wedding, but the Rector, Father Charleston Wilson, must approve all weddings, including the date and time. Reach the Rector by calling the parish office at 941-955-4263.

The Celebration and Blessing of a Marriage at Redeemer involves the participation of many church employees and volunteers, so adequate notice is essential. The Rector requires a minimum 90-day notice of a wedding. The scheduling of weddings is not allowed during Lent or on Sundays.
