About Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul

A wedding at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul is about as grand as a Philadelphia church wedding gets. The mother church of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia faces Logan Square at 18th Street and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, and its front of four tall Corinthian columns and copper dome make a strong opening frame for your wedding photos and video. Inside, the nave runs 236 feet under a vaulted ceiling 80 feet up, and clerestory windows of lightly tinted glass let natural light fall across the walnut pews.

Your wedding ceremony can take place in the Cathedral Basilica itself, which seats more than 1,000, or in the smaller Cathedral Chapel on the north side for a more intimate group. That long center aisle makes a beautiful processional for a wedding videographer, and the organ, with more than 4,600 pipes, fills the space with sound. Music comes from the Cathedral's own music department: an organist and cantor are arranged through the Cathedral, and outside musicians are not permitted.

You do not need to belong to the parish. If neither of you is a registered Cathedral parishioner, you bring a letter of permission from one of your home pastors to the first appointment. Plan on at least six months of preparation, and you plan the ceremony directly with the priest. Weddings are usually Friday afternoons and Saturday late morning to mid-afternoon. The Cathedral has a published Wedding Photography and Videography Protocol, so share it with your photographer early.

  • Note when the wedding book opens: the 2028 calendar opens in February 2027.
  • Ask your home pastor for a permission letter if you are not registered here.
  • Read the photography and videography protocol and walk the aisle with your photographer before the wedding day.
