What do I need to do to be married at Christ the King?
We have so many requests for weddings that we must reserve the church for active members and/or people who live within our parish boundaries (generally Wedgewood on the North, Old Hickory Blvd on the South, Hillsboro Road on the West and Franklin Rd/8th Ave. on the East).
The Catholic Church requires every couple to complete some marriage preparation. At Christ the King, we ask that you contact us at least six months before your wedding date. For more information, contact Kathy Skinner at 615-292-2884 or info@ctk-nashville.org.
