Planning Your Wedding
Couples intending to marry at OLSH are asked to phone the parish office. It is important to familiarise yourself with the information linked below prior to making a booking. Bookings should be made at least 6 months in advance.
Below is a list of documentation that is needed prior to meeting with your priest celebrant:
Your birth certificate, an extract of birth certificate or a current passport.
Your Baptismal certificate. A recent copy, not more than six (6) months old is required.
The cost of the church is $500 for parishioners (known to the Priests/living in the area and active volunteers in the Parish) OR $1,200 for non-parishioners.
Non-parishioners need to organise to bring their own Priest to celebrate the wedding.
A donation is also made to the priest celebrant, usually recommended to be $350+ for his time and service. NB. the average cost of a marriage celebrant in NSW is $899
Please note: No confetti or rose petals are to be scattered in the Church, outside on the footpath, or anywhere on Parish property. This is a condition of booking your Wedding with us. Thank you for your understanding.
