The normal location for a Catholic wedding is at the local parish of one of the engaged persons. This helps ensure and protect the sacramental dignity of the ceremony. Special permission must be requested from the Bishop to have the wedding in a non-Catholic Christian church (and is usually approved), or a non-church setting (which is sometimes but more rarely approved).
