Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Church LGBTQIA+ friendly?
Calvary by the Sea welcomes couples of all ethnicities, nationalities, religions, and LGBTQIA+ identities to celebrate their love and special day with us.
Is the Church pet friendly?
Calvary by the Sea is a pet-friendly church. We understand that pets are also family, so we welcome you to bring your pets to your wedding. Your furry babies will not just be the guests, but they can also “sign” your certificate with their cute little paws.
May I have my own minister officiate the ceremony?
Possibly. Please contact us through the contact page for more details.
How far in advance can the Church be reserved for a wedding?
The Church may be reserved up to 12 months in advance, when accompanied by a deposit.
Can we use the Church for a wedding reception after the ceremony?
No food or beverages are allowed in the Church. However, Bayer Estate, a beautiful oceanfront reception venue located right next door, can accommodate up to 60 people and may be able to assist you. Please contact us for more information.
Can we have a ceremony even if we are already married or not married?
Yes. If you wish to have a legal wedding, please let us know in advance, and present us the appropriate prepared documentation (such as marriage license) before the ceremony.
May we have our own organist for our wedding?
The Church will provide a professional organist for your wedding if requested.
Can we have a flower shower after the wedding?
Yes, you may have a flower shower. However, please ensure that only real flower petals are used, as artificial flowers are non-biodegradable and harmful to the environment. The throwing of confetti, rice, birdseed, or other materials, as well as setting off fireworks or honking horns, is strictly prohibited.
Does the Church have an on-site assistant?
There is an option to hire an on-site assistant that supervises the rehearsal and ceremony and ensures that all participants know what to do. The coordinator can also answer questions the wedding party may have.
