Weddings at Ascension & St. Agnes
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! We are thrilled and honored that you are considering holding your ceremony with us. Below you will find our guidelines for weddings at Ascension & St. Agnes. We know this can be a lot to sift through, so don't be afraid to contact our administrator, Julian Drumwright, at [email protected] with any questions you may have.
All weddings at Ascension & St. Agnes are either celebrated by Fr. Dominique Peridans or Fr. Stuart Kenworthy and at least one of the parties must be a baptized Christian. Same-sex weddings are permitted.
The couple typically must have premarital counseling with a professional counselor suggested or approved by the Priest. The couple must meet at least twice with the counselor, after which the counselor will submit a written report to the Priest indicating whether or not he or she thinks the couple may move forward or if further preparation is needed.
The Episcopal Church also requires that “both parties have been instructed as to the nature, meaning, and purpose of Holy Matrimony.” The Priest will provide this sacramental instruction. Our rector will typically meet two or three times with a couple. At any time during the counseling, and at any time before the wedding, the Priest reserves the right to decline to solemnize the marriage.
Our music director, Collin Power, retains right of first refusal and charges a $400 fee. The social hall may be available for a reception for a donation of $500. Contact the parish office to discuss this. Alcoholic beverages may be served in moderation. Non-alcoholic options must be provided as well in an equally attractive and available way.

weddings for non-members
As of April, 2026, we are now allowing weddings for non-members to be held at Ascension & St. Agnes. However, we are a community, not just a building. All other guidelines still apply.
The base cost for weddings for non-members, including pay for clergy is $3,000. This does not include our music director's fee or use of the social hall.
If you have any questions, please contact Julian Drumwright at [email protected].
