st. patricks catholic church

Church/Ceremony: My wife and I walked into this church and immediately knew this was the church we wanted to get married in. Our wedding was on a Friday instead of a Saturday for various reasons, and this alone brought up several issues with this church. They charged us the same as everyone else, but they did not provide a priest for us. We had to find our own -- which was the biggest mission ever and I don't even want to get into it. They have very strict rules, such as no flowers except on the altars, etc etc etc. For one thing, you are only allowed to use their in-house musician, and this was not included in the price. It was an extra $300! This church runs like a business, not a church. They are all over you to get money from you, but they don't even care that you even have a priest for your wedding. The only reason this church even gets a 3 is because it is so gorgeous that it does not even compare to the other churches we looked at.

Ceremony Musician/Mark Spencer: He plays wonderfully but when we had a trial with him, he played everything on the organ, and for the actual wedding, he only used the harp. He was also way too expensive in my opinion. $300 for one hour and only like 6 songs sounds like a rip off to me. But the church only allows you to use him and only him, so you're stuck.
