Where can Orthodox weddings be arranged?
We host Orthodox weddings in various types of churches, ranging from grand Cathedrals to intimate Chapels. The choice of venue often depends on the couple’s preferences, family traditions and the size of the guest list. In fact, at Glam Events, we specialize in creating bespoke Orthodox wedding experiences tailored to each couple’s unique vision.
To begin with, before Orthodox weddings, paperwork and marriage licenses must be arranged through the local church where the ceremony will take place. This process typically involves submitting necessary documents and obtaining approval from the church authorities to proceed with the marriage. Also, it ensures that the wedding complies with both religious and legal requirements, providing a solid foundation for the union within the Orthodox Christian community.
Cathedrals offer a majestic and awe-inspiring setting. They often have intricate architecture, expansive interiors and historical significance. Specifically, they are suitable for larger ceremonies and provide a sense of grandeur and reverence.
On the other hand, Chapels provide a more cozy and personal atmosphere, ideal for smaller, more private gatherings. Despite their size, Chapels maintain the spiritual ambiance essential for an Orthodox wedding. Some couples might choose a Chapel that holds personal significance, such as one located in their hometown or a place where they have a personal connection.
