Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Swanton

A wedding at Holy Trinity Catholic Church brings you out to the country near Swanton, where the parish church stands on US Highway 20 at Assumption. The parish describes its grounds as peaceful country surroundings, and that open, rural setting suits relaxed wedding photos outside the church before you head to the reception. Bring your photographer and videographer for a visit early, so they can plan the processional and the pictures after the vows.

Your wedding ceremony here is a Catholic celebration of marriage. Following diocesan guidelines, the parish asks couples to contact the priest at least six months before the wedding date. You will usually meet several times with the priest or deacon who will preside and attend an Engaged Couples Day. You can also keep the celebration close by: the parish rents the Metzger Community Center and its meeting rooms, and it lists receptions first among the events it hosts.

The hall rental includes the room, tables, about 250 folding chairs, a public address system if needed, and utilities. Renters bring their own linens and dishes, and the kitchen is for cold food and warming precooked dishes only, so plan with a caterer. You handle cleanup the same evening, and the Diocese of Toledo requires liability insurance. A public address system helps with the toasts, and a clear sound feed is worth asking about for your wedding video.

• Call the parish office at 419-644-4014 at least six months ahead.
• Ask the hall rental manager about the community center for your wedding day.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines in the church.
