Catholic Requirements
Catholic couples must notify their priest at least six months prior to their marriage date as required by the Catholic Church. Generally, those Catholics married in the Chapel will be active members of the Catholic Chapel. The Military Archdiocese requires those married in a military chapel to be active duty service members or dependents of active duty service members.

Catholic members are required to attend premarital counseling with a Catholic Chaplain as determined by their priest.

Catholic weddings officiated by non-Catholic chaplains or at non-Catholic churches without Permission for Mixed Religion or Dispensation for Disparity of Cult are considered invalid by the Catholic Church. They may not receive Holy Communion until their marriage is convalidated by a Catholic priest or Catholic Military Chaplain.

Submit a Chapel Request Form at least 60 days prior to the projected event date.

Requirements for Protestants and Others
Attend Pre-marital Counseling sessions with the Chaplain or Clergy member of your choice.

Attend P.R.E.P. (Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program) classes offered through the MCAS Yuma Chaplain's office. Classes are scheduled for individual couples. Contact the Protestant Chaplain to make arrangements.

If you plan to use a civilian clergy submit a copy of the Clergy member's ordination certificate from a DOD-recognized faith group.

Submit a Chapel Request Form at least 60 days prior to the projected event date.

Weddings in the Chapels

What are the standards of conduct and my responsibilities for a wedding in the MCAS Yuma Chapel?

No alcohol will be consumed on the Chapel premises. If the officiant suspects that either party is under the influence of alcohol he will refuse to proceed with the wedding.

Active duty military members are not required to wear a uniform. It is optional. If uniforms are worn, they must be worn in accordance with standard uniform regulations. There are no special uniform exemptions for weddings. The prescribed ceremonial uniform of the season as determined by MCAS Yuma is generally the authorized uniform. Prank remarks on Groom's shoes (i.e. "Help Me") are inappropriate and not authorized.

No rice, confetti, or releasing doves or balloons will be allowed either inside or outside the Chapel for your wedding. Bird seed and bubbles are acceptable alternatives.

Flowers for the ceremony are your responsibility. The Chapel does not have a proper facility for storing flowers and cannot ensure safe and adequate storage of flowers prior to the ceremony. Delivery the day of the wedding is recommended.

The music at your wedding is also your responsibility. Call 928-269-2371 for referrals to local keyboardists no less than 3 months prior to the wedding.

If you desire to use a unity candle in your wedding, you will need to provide the center candle and 2 side candles. A candelabrum for the unity candle set is available at no charge for use during the ceremony from the chapel.

Catering & Receptions
