About St. Mary’s Byzantine Catholic Church

A wedding at St. Mary's Byzantine Catholic Church on Youngstown's west side surrounds you with icons. An icon screen built from the church's own marble stands across the sanctuary, the walls carry icons of the saints, and a mosaic shows the Apostles in procession toward the Mother of God, the parish's patroness. For wedding photos and video, it's a background full of color.

If you've only been to Roman Catholic or Protestant weddings, this feels like a different world. Your guests take their seats facing the icon screen, and the two of you stand before it for the wedding ceremony. In the Byzantine tradition the marriage service includes the crowning of the bride and groom, one of the most moving moments you'll see at any wedding, so ask the parish where your photographer and videographer may stand during the service and how much time you'll have for portraits afterward.

Next door, the parish's Assumption Social Center hosts receptions, with Saint Mary's Caterers serving dinner. The hall asks for at least 250 guests and schedules receptions for four hours. You supply your own liquor and beer (beer in cans) while the hall provides bartenders and mixers, and music and the bar end at 11 p.m., so plan your wedding day so the dancing starts early.

Call the parish office to ask about getting married in the Byzantine Catholic Church and any preparation required.
Ask about photography and video guidelines in the church.
Contact the social center separately for the reception.

A little about St. Mary's Byzantine Catholic Church

Greek Catholic immigrants working in the west side steel mills dedicated their first small church on Florence Avenue in 1900. The present church on South Belle Vista Avenue was dedicated in July 1960, and parish women soon began catering wedding receptions there.

Check the location's own photo and video rules

Locations set their own rules about where photographers and videographers can stand, when they can take photos or film, and whether vendors need approval. We don't state those rules here.
