Wedding Ceremonies in Jūrmala Churches

When choosing a traditional wedding ceremony in a church, couples often seek a place where spirituality intertwines with historical heritage and architectural beauty.

Jūrmala has a rich legacy of Christian denominations, with more than ten churches, each bearing its unique story and architectural character. The oldest among them is the Sloka Evangelical Lutheran Church, while the Ķemeri and Bulduri Lutheran Churches reflect the simplicity and solidity of late 19th-century masonry architecture.

A particularly impressive example is the Dubulti Evangelical Lutheran Church, designed by the renowned architect Wilhelm Bockslaff, standing as a remarkable representation of Art Nouveau architecture. Jūrmala's Catholic churches—Majori Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church and St. John the Baptist Church in Ķemeri—are distinguished by their reverence for traditional Jūrmala wooden architecture. Meanwhile, the Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul in Ķemeri, built of wood, is a striking example of Russian folk church architecture.

To ensure a smooth wedding ceremony in a church, it is advisable to contact the parish priest or clergyman in advance to agree on the details. It is also essential to check whether baptism and confirmation certificates are required for the sacrament of marriage to comply with church regulations.
