About St. Francis Xavier Church

A wedding at St. Francis Xavier Church puts you on Sycamore Street in downtown Cincinnati, in front of a sandstone-faced church with an ornate clock tower. The Jesuit parish is known simply as St. Xavier, and its front is a grand first picture for your photographer before guests come out to cheer, with a bagpiper outside if you'd like one.

Inside, the center aisle runs 92 feet across a marble floor between 24 rows of pews, and the church seats about 983, so your walk down the aisle is a long, beautiful processional. During the ceremony, photographers work from the side aisles and the back, with the center aisle open to them for the processional and recessional, and video cameras stay in the side or rear aisles. The choir loft can be arranged for your photographer or videographer through the music director, a great angle on the whole church, and the parish's fine pipe organ fills the room. Pictures inside the church are allowed after the ceremony.

Weddings begin Saturday at 2:00 or 6:00, with Friday evenings possible by request. For a 2:00 wedding, everything, including wedding photos inside, must wrap by 3:30 for the 4:00 Mass. On the wedding day, the bride and bridesmaids wait in the Parish Center and reach the vestibule by a separate stairway. One of you must be a baptized Catholic, and you bring your own priest or deacon. The parish can livestream your wedding ceremony on YouTube. The lot next door is paid parking.

  • Contact the parish office a year ahead, and at least six months ahead as the archdiocese requires.
  • Arrange the choir loft for your videographer with the music director.
  • Give your photographer the parish's photography guidelines and plan wedding pictures inside to finish on time.

A little about St. Francis Xavier Church

This corner was home to Cincinnati's first cathedral, dedicated in 1826, and the parish has been run by the Jesuits since 1840. The present church with its clock tower was finished in 1859 and restored after a severe fire in 1882.
