    Maybe.
      Although the usual practice is that Catholic marriage to be held in the parish church, the bishop may give permission for the marriage is celebrated in another suitable place.
      For more information, see the Code of Canon Law, Canon 1118: http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG1104/__
      With love in Christ.

    You should ask your pastor, if you do the wedding for you in the chapel of the reception room. Some priests are very strict traditionalists and others not, so I wondered. If not, you can always get a non-denominational minister to marry you in the chapel.

    A Catholic priest will perform only marry in a Catholic church or a Catholic chapel, because Jesus has to be present (in Eucharist).
      Why not marry in his church, his priest, and only the rite of marriage without the Mass?
