Frequently Asked Questions
Who can get married at St. Andrew's?
St. Andrew's is blessed with a beautiful setting in which to celebrate the sacrament of marriage. It is our joy to welcome and affirm all couples, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, who wish to be married in the Episcopal Church, provided that at least one of the couple is a baptized Christian or wishes to be baptized.
What if one of us is divorced?
If you are divorced, you may be remarried in the Episcopal Church with approval from the bishop. You can discuss this process with our clergy.
When may we get married?
In most cases, the ceremony may start no later than 4 pm. Weddings may be scheduled on holiday weekends and the week between Christmas and New Year's dependent on the availability of our clergy and staff. If you are contemplating a fall Saturday, please know that we are unable to accommodate weddings on University of Michigan home football game days. If you are considering a summer ceremony, please note that the church is not air conditioned.
Can we use our own officiant?
All services at St. Andrew's are officiated by the clergy of St. Andrew's. Clergy not on staff at St. Andrew's are welcome to take part in your ceremony. This should be discussed with our rector, The Rev. Paul Frolick. Generally, visiting clergy would be invited to preach or lead the prayers.
