The following testimonials of recent weddings at St. Mary’s will show you how special it is!
“We loved having our wedding ceremony at St. Mary’s Church. The church was the perfect backdrop for our ceremony photos and the acoustics carried wonderfully for our ceremony’s music. All of our guests loved coming to the church for the ceremony; Islanders had the opportunity to be in the church again and our off Island guests got to visit one of Prince Edward Island’s architectural treasures. Thank you to the Indian River Festival for helping us to organize our wedding ceremony and rehearsal – having our wedding at St. Mary’s made the start of our marriage extra special!”

“We were so happy that St. Mary’s Church was able to accommodate our wedding in their busy Indian River Festival season. The church – exquisite in its own right – and its charming countryside surroundings made for such a picturesque and intimate setting for our ceremony. We took advantage of the church’s renowned acoustics, having both a pianist and trumpeter play throughout, which added to the ambiance and suited the emotions of the day.”

“We had our wedding at St Mary’s last summer and we are so happy we went with this beautiful historic building. Not only is the church gorgeous for pictures, it accommodates as many people as you would ever want at a wedding! The acoustics are amazing so we had no need to rent sound equipment. We wanted a short and sweet ceremony so we decided to hire a commissioner to perform the ceremony. It was so nice to have that option and still have the beauty of the church and be able to “walk down the aisle”. A lot of my family had never been to the church before so I regularly took people up to show them where it was and what it looked like inside. It was great that the building is so easily accessible and Theresa was only a phone call/ email away! We were very pleased with the results and also happy that our donation goes towards keeping up this beautiful building.”

“St. Mary’s was the perfect venue for our wedding ceremony. Its beauty inside and out speaks for itself and our pictures turned out fabulous. Our string quartet sounded beautiful with the great acoustics of the church. Theresa and the staff at St. Mary’s were all very flexible and accommodating during the planning stages, rehearsal, and wedding day itself. We couldn’t have asked for a better place for our special day. Thank you St. Mary’s!”
