About Calvary Episcopal Church (Pittsburgh)

A wedding at Calvary Episcopal Church on Shady Avenue brings you into a Gothic church 208 feet long, with a spire reaching 220 feet above the East End of Pittsburgh. Inside, a carved oak rood screen and the high altar reredos frame the front of the church, and the windows hold stained glass from studios in London, Boston, New York and Pittsburgh. For wedding photos and video, that carved woodwork and colored glass make a rich setting for your vows.

Calvary hosts Episcopal wedding ceremonies for couples of every orientation; the clergy work with each couple to plan the service. Depending on your guest list, the service can take place at the high altar, in front of the rood screen, or in one of the church's chapels. The wedding party may arrive up to ninety minutes early, and the Parlor is set aside for you and your immediate families; dressing at the church is possible, though space is limited. Photographs before the service wrap up 45 minutes before the ceremony, and wedding pictures and greetings afterward finish within 30 minutes.

Organ music is the default, played by a parish organist, and the Director of Music can add soloists, trumpet or timpani for a grand processional that sounds wonderful on a wedding film. Calvary's own coordinator plans and runs the rehearsal and the day; outside coordinators aren't used here. All photographers are approved by the coordinator and meet the officiating priest about the church's photo and video guidelines. Your reception will be at another venue, and note for a summer wedding day that the church isn't air-conditioned.

Call the church office as early as you can; don't announce a date until the clergy agree.
Plan at least three premarital counseling sessions.
Have your photographer and videographer meet the priest about guidelines.
Weddings aren't held during Lent.
