About St. Gabriel’s Episcopal Church

A wedding at St. Gabriel's Episcopal Church in Douglassville gives you a choice of two rooms, and they feel very different in your wedding photos and on video. The main sanctuary seats close to 200 guests in a church whose roof was designed like an inverted ship. The parish's historic stone chapel is a plain building restored to its original look and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, an intimate room for up to 100 guests.

The parish welcomes all kinds of weddings, including same-sex marriages, and the priest usually officiates; couples may also bring an outside officiant and rent the main church or the chapel. St. Gabriel's asks for at least 30 days' notice, that at least one of you has been baptized, two witnesses to sign the register, and a Declaration of Intention signed by both. Expect about three premarital conversations covering your relationship, families, plans and the wedding ceremony itself. Visit to see both spaces before a date goes on the calendar.

Music is normally played by a musician from St. Gabriel's. Soloists or other musicians are welcome once you've talked the plans over with the priest, so loop in your wedding videographer for the processional and vows. The parish publishes no photo or video rules, so ask about them when you meet.

Call the church office to check your date and the officiant's availability.
Visit both the main church and the stone chapel with your photographer if you can.
Bring your Pennsylvania marriage license to the rehearsal; most counties have a 72-hour waiting period.
Ask about photo and video guidelines for your wedding day.
