Where to Start
Begin by visiting All Souls for a worship service. This is where the conversation should begin, even if you are new. Visiting will give you a sense of the space, the style, the musical offerings available, and the personalities of the clergy.
The Date
Contact the parish office to see if the church is available and speak with a priest about scheduling your service. You may call the parish office at 202-232-4244 or email the office.
What Things Cost
Fees are different for members and nonmembers and should be discussed with the Rector. Payment for all fees is expected by the time of the rehearsal.
Marriage License
The license is issued by the Marriage Bureau section of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, located at Moultrie Courthouse, 500 Indiana Avenue, N.W., Room JM690, Washington, D.C. 20001. The main phone number is 202-879-4840 and the business hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The marriage license should be obtained within sixty days of the wedding and brought to the parish office. The priest cannot officiate without the license. After the wedding, the priest will sign and mail the license. Click Here for More Information.
Flowers
If flowers are to be used, they are arranged through Allan Woods Florist, 2645 Connecticut Avenue NW (between Calvert and Woodley), Washington, DC 20008. The phone number is 202-332-3334. Options for flowers include two large arrangements (one on either side of the High Altar) and two additional, smaller arrangements on the altar in the Mary Chapel. Flowers are left in the church for use on Sunday, and the Sunday worship leaflet will identify the flowers as given to the glory of God and in thanksgiving for the new couple. Prayers are also said for the couple.
Music
Music is coordinated through our Director of Music, who may be reached at 202-232-4244 or by email.
