St. Patrick's Cathedral and Ellis Island

Hi everyone

We're currently looking at having our wedding at St. Patrick's Cathedral but we just wanted to see what people's thoughts are and if they had any weddings there and if there's any advice or tips they could offer. We haven't been yet but we're hoping to go in the next couple of weeks.

We just wanted to know if they had restrictions about music, clothes, flowers, etc. Obviously this is something we need to ask them ourselves but I thought it would be quicker to ask everyone here before we go,

We're also looking at having our reception on Ellis Island so we're seeing if anyone had been to a wedding there or had theirs there.

Thanks very much!

  • St Patricks is lovely, but expensive!!!!!  If you could swing, this is a NY iconic building and the gothic design is mesmerizing.  Be sure your photographer takes photos of the exterior and the steps which is quite remarkable.  I went to a wedding there and a few services.  The acoustics are a little bit echo-y but other than that, a perfect wedding church.  Be sure to inquire as to additional lighting, how close can your media people  get to the altar, rules about flash/videography, etc.  Good luck and let us know how it works out.
