About Basilica of Saint John the Baptist

A wedding at the Basilica of Saint John the Baptist takes place in one of the grandest churches in downtown Canton. The bell tower and its spire rise 180 feet over McKinley Avenue, and inside, the long Gothic nave climbs to a clerestory, with stained glass windows of the mysteries of the Rosary along the walls. For your wedding photos and video, that long center aisle is the heart of the day: a slow processional from the doors toward the marble altar, with the whole church framed around you.

This is a place for the wedding ceremony itself. The parish holds one wedding per weekend, on Saturdays at 1:00 PM or 6:00 PM, and there are no weddings at the Basilica in July and August. There's no getting-ready suite, so plan to arrive dressed. The bride's party waits in a room the parish shows you at the rehearsal, and the groom heads to the sacristy. The parish organist and a cantor take part in your wedding day, so your wedding videographer records live music filling a big, resonant church. After the ceremony there's time set aside for pictures inside, so have your family list ready.

Guests park in the Basilica lot between the Parish Hall and the rectory, or along McKinley Avenue, and a limousine or bus can stop right in front of the church. There's a ramp at the northwest entrance. Receiving lines aren't held at the church, so plan to greet everyone at your reception.

  • At least one of you should be a confirmed, active member of the parish. Meet with the priest at least six months before your date.
  • Plan for several preparation meetings and the diocesan Engaged Couple Retreat.
  • The parish has written photo and video guidelines in its wedding policy booklet. Share them with your photographer and videographer and walk the church together beforehand.
