The registration for the wedding is exclusively done online. Fill out all the necessary information, but remember that filling out does not guarantee the reservation, subject to date availability verification. Requests should be made at least 3 months and up to 18 months in advance.
We do not perform weddings on Sacred holidays, such as Holy Week, the day of Our Lady of Aparecida, Christmas, and New Year's Eve.
Catholic Sanctuary:
The Sanctuary follows the laws, dogmas, and rites of the Roman Catholic Apostolic Church. At least one of the spouses must be Catholic for the ceremony to take place.
Minister:
The ceremonies are conducted by a priest appointed by the Sanctuary. If desired, the celebration can be performed by a priest chosen by the spouses, subject to prior approval by the Sanctuary.
Pre-marital Course:
The couple must take the premarital course and participate in a preliminary interview with the celebrant.

During the celebration, only sacred and classical music are allowed, according to the decree of the Archdiocese of Rio de Janeiro. Check the list of allowed music here.
Ceremony Format:
We offer 3 distinct formats of ceremonies: inside the Chapel, in front of the chapel, or in front of the monument. Depending on the format, it is possible to hold the ceremony at exclusive times without the presence of tourist crowds.
Religious Marriage and Civil Marriage:
Marriage in the Catholic Church is known as Religious Marriage, while the civil registry office marriage is the civil marriage. We also offer the option of Religious Marriage with Civil Effect, where the religious celebrant performs both ceremonies simultaneously.
