About St. Joseph Cathedral

A wedding at St. Joseph Cathedral puts you on Broad Street in downtown Columbus, in front of a Gothic church of cut stone with a tower on each side of its three front doors. Your wedding photos can begin out there, with the whole wedding party lined up beneath the towers. The taller one holds clock faces and a chime of ten bells, and inside there is a pipe organ, so your videographer will have real sound to work with from the first note of the processional.

The cathedral is a place for your wedding ceremony. The parish celebrates one wedding on each available Saturday, at 2:30 p.m., at either the cathedral or Holy Cross Church, its sister church nearby downtown. Weddings aren't held during Advent or Lent. The music is part of the plan from the start: the parish fee includes an organist, a soloist and a trumpet, a lovely thing to have under your wedding video.

Once the recessional is over, pictures can be taken inside the church, which is when your photographer can use the long nave and the grand space around you for portraits. The cathedral has written guidelines for photographers and videographers, covering flash, where they may move during the ceremony and the area around the altar, and it asks them to contact the parish before the day. The parish also likes to work directly with the two of you rather than with family or vendors, so plan on being the ones who call.

Bring your baptismal record early; the parish can't confirm a date without it.
Ask how the cathedral's phased renovation, planned to run through 2027, affects your date and your pictures.
Share the photo and video guidelines with your team and walk the church with them before your wedding day.

A little about St. Joseph Cathedral

Work on St. Joseph's began in 1866, and it became the cathedral when the Diocese of Columbus was created two years later. It was consecrated in 1878, built of stone quarried in Licking and Fairfield counties, and the first couple were married there in 1873, before it was even finished.
