Our weddings take place on Saturdays at 2:00pm, 3:00pm, 7:00pm or 7:30pm.
Any deviation from those dates or times is at the discretion of the clergy and can be discussed at your initial meeting or phone call with your assigned clergy member.
Our church seats about 800 people. Our chapel seats about 150 people.
The non-parishioner rate for the church is $2000. The non-parishioner rate for the chapel is $1500.
The parishioner rate for the church OR chapel is $750.
The fee for the church or chapel includes altar flowers, the organist, and a day-of wedding coordinator.
The fee for marriage preparation ONLY is $300.
The full amount to reserve the church or chapel is due when you are ready to reserve the church or chapel. The full amount for marriage preparation only is due at your first meeting with the clergy. Payment plans are up to the clergy's discretion.
In order to obtain the parishioner rate, you must be a registered and active member of the parish for a minimum of 1 year (active and registered means that we have you registered in our database, and you give of your Time, Talent, and Treasure by regularly participating in our ministries and tithing).
If you will be prepared by an outside priest or deacon, please have that priest/deacon send a letter to Fr. Luke Ballman stating that he intends to prepare you and will submit the paperwork to the parish in a timely manner.
If you will have an outside priest or deacon officiate, he will need to send a letter to Fr. Luke Ballman requesting permission to officiate. If the priest or deacon is from outside the Archdiocese of Atlanta, he will also need to provide a letter of good standing from his Bishop.
Letters to Fr. Ballman can be sent to:
Holy Spirit Catholic Church

In addition to marriage prep with a priest or deacon, you are also required to attend a Pre-Cana workshop. We offer one called Building Your Marriage Before It Starts. You may find more information about this workshop and register at
