Whether a military chaplain or civilian clergy person officiates at your marriage, permission of the Wing Chaplain is required for all weddings that take place in the Base Chapel. If you bring in your own clergy person, that minister must work with the chapel wedding coordinator in setting up your wedding. You must also provide the Chapel secretary a copy of the clergy's ordination certificate. If you use a base chaplain, a minimum of two months notice is expected by our Protestant chaplains and four months by the Catholic chaplain. Pre-marital counseling is key to the success of your marriage.
Catholic marriages have special requirements which are detailed on a following page.
How Do I Reserve the Base Chapel for my Wedding Reservations are made by Chapel secretary. This will be confirmed after it is coordinated by the chapel staff. Please indicate your denominational preference when making the request. If a rehearsal is required, the Chapel secretary will schedule that, too. ONLY ONE HOUR is allowed for rehearsals.
