FAQs
Question
Why are you having two wedding ceremonies?
Answer
The groom is a life-long member of the St. Haralambos Greek Orthodox Church and the bride is a life-long member of the New Apostolic Church. It is their wishes to honor both faiths and upbringings by participating in a traditional wedding ceremony officiated by each of their ministers.
Question
Do I have to attend both wedding ceremonies?
Answer
We invite all of our friends and family to spend our entire wedding day with us. We understand that attending both ceremonies may not be feasible, so we look forward to seeing you either way. We designed the itinerary to allow for the additional ceremony in place of a long photo session. The first wedding ceremony starts approximately an hour before most wedding days.
Question
Where is the first wedding ceremony located?
Answer
Since there is not a New Apostolic Church located in Canton, we knew we needed to hold the ceremony as close to the St. Haralambos Greek Orthodox Church to allow for travel between the ceremonies. The Canton Palace Theater is only a short 5-minute drive to the Greek church.
Question
Where is the wedding reception hosted?
Answer
As soon as the ceremony concludes at the St. Haralambos Greek church, we invite you to walk downstairs to the Alex D. Krassas Banquet center which is attached to the church. The cocktail reception will begin immediately following the service.
Question
What happens after the first wedding ceremony concludes?
Answer
Once the wedding ceremony at the Canton Palace Theater concludes, we invite all of our guests to join us in the lobby of the theater for popcorn. The ceremony will conclude around 2:30pm and then the reception will last until approximately 3:30pm. At this time, we will invite everyone to assemble on the side walk outside the theater for a group photo. After this, everyone will be asked to make their way over to the St. Haralambos Greek church. It is a short 5-minute drive. This will allow everyone to park and make their way into the church. The second ceremony will begin at 4pm.
