Sacrament of Matrimony/Marriage

It is important that you contact the Priest of your Parish of Residence (where you are living at present) at the same time you are booking the Church and reception venue for your Marriage.

  • This must be done whether the wedding is in Ireland or abroad.
  • This begins the Pre-Nuptial Enquiry Forms, to ensure you are free to celebrate Marriage in the Roman Catholic Church.
  • At the latest, please give Six Months notice.  
  • This is irrespective of what Church the wedding will be taking place in.  Independently, you need to make contact with the Civil Registrar of Marriages.

A copy of the Certificate of Attendance will need to be included with your Pre-Nuptial Enquiry Forms.
