Weddings

 

Our Chapel, built in 1916, can accommodate weddings with up to 140 guests. Our Church, built in 2003 can accommodate weddings with up to 400 guests. The new St. Andrew's Hall, which can seat approximately 300 guests, and state of the art commercial kitchen can be used for wedding receptions.

To be married at Saint Andrew's By-the-Sea, at least one or more of the following must apply:

• One (or both) is a member or seasonal guest of St. Andrew's;
• One (or both) of the couple is an Episcopalian;
• One (or both) of the couple desire to become active members of Saint Andrew's by-the-Sea or of another Episcopal Church.

If none of the above applies, the couple may write to the Rector, explaining why they desire to be married at St. Andrew's and request special consideration. For example, one bride, who had not been raised Episcopalian, requested special consideration based on her parents having been married at St. Andrew's many years previously. Her request was granted.

All couples marrying at St. Andrew's must receive pre-marital counseling, either here at St. Andrew's or, if from out of town, at the church they regularly attend. If either the bride or groom has been divorced, the Bishop's consent is required.
