Has anyone had to change their wedding time since the new Father at St. Joseph's has canceled the 4pm weddings?  I was scheduled to have a 4pm wedding with dinner starting at 6p- but now I don't know what to do.  2pm is the new ceremony time and it seems too early to have the ceremony at that time.  Did anyone decide to go to another Catholic Church downtown?  If you are having a 2p wedding how our you scheduling the rest of your day?  Thank you!

    The rest of the catholic downtown churches are 2pm and 7pm also. So moving to another downtown church might be dificult.

    I think San Fernando's times are at 1 and 7 :( This isn't entirely fair. We booked ahead of timeso why can't they just honor the weddings that were already set for 4? Did they say it was absolutely not possible to do?

    So I just heard from my planner that they are changing any weddings after July 1, 2010. So anyone before then you are safe.

    Thanks for the help.  I think we are going to stick it out and stay with the 2pm.  It will make it easier for our guest, since our reception location is in walking distance.

    Where are you having your reception if you are using St. Joseph's? I have just started planning and have not gotten ahold of St. Joseph's yet but had heard the 2pm timing thing as well. Did you ask if they were flexible at all on the time? Thanks for any info you have.

    You know, 2:00 PM is not really all that early.  I am doing my neice's wedding timeline and I am recommending a 2:30 ceremony.  This is for a Christian wedding (30 min ceremony) with a receiving line following, 2 hours for photos & a 5:30 start time for the reception.  We have to re-set our reception venue at 10:00 PM & be out by 11:00 PM.  Along with the traditional events, this allows 2 hours for open dancing.

    The priest has to be included! That's terrible! I don't understand why the price would go up so much in just a matter of months!
