We kindly ask our guests to dress in formal attire for the celebration, black tie optional.

A Greek Orthodox wedding ceremony typically lasts about 45 minutes to an hour.

The crowns in an Orthodox wedding symbolize the glory and honor God bestows on the couple, as well as their shared responsibility and martyrdom in a life of love and faith together. They also represent the couple’s new kingdom, their home, which they are called to rule with wisdom, justice, and love, following Christ’s example.

We respectfully ask while visiting our Cathedral you show reverence to the Holy Sacrament of marriage. Please refrain from chewing gum, bringing food or drinks into the cathedral, crossing your legs or showing exposed shoulders.

Kalamatiano is a great intro dance to learn before the wedding! We look forward to dancing with you! Here is an instructional video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6KiZDFcW4u

We kindly ask that only those listed on your invitation join us in celebrating our special day. We appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate together!

We recommend arriving 20–25 minutes early to allow time for parking and finding your seat before the ceremony begins. Please note that once the wedding procession starts, the church doors will be locked, and guests will need to wait until after the procession to enter.
