Looking for a church that will let me bring in a justice of the peace for my wedding ceremony. Cincinnati Area?

I have already contacted Spring Groove cemetery which is booked and I am looking for something more old and traditional rather than the new open minded churches like Crossroads. I have also spoken with Armstrong chapel but it is too small. Can not be an outside wedding because it is in October of next year and I would be too worried about the weather. Thanks in advance!

    Check United Methodists in Hyde Park. They perform a lot of weddings and may allow you to bring in a minister or jop.

    Also try calling churches that you like and just ask. Obviously Catholic churches probably won't let you but possibly methodist or lutheran churches may.

    I don't think it is disrespectful at all that you want to be married in a church by a jop. It is your wedding and you have the right to do what you want for any reason. You can always consider a minister or other officiant who wouldn't mind doing a non denominational ceremony, that might broaden your choices for churches.

    I don't have a clue - I don't know of any church that has a minister that will allow a JP to perform a ceremony there, and I'd be surprised if a JP would be comfortable performing a ceremony in a church.

    Have you looked on a site like www.mywedding.com? Best of luck finding the venue you want.

    Justices of the Peace are for non-religious, civil ceremonies.

    Why do you want to use a church, but not their officiant? You want traditional, but you don't want a minister?

    That's disrespectful of you.

  • go to budda belly temple. they will do it for you.
