Each church or denomination makes it's own policies about use of church for weddings and who can and can not marry inside the church. A Catholic Priest for example as I understand it can only marry Catholics. A Baptist preacher generally insist on some basic pre-marriage counseling with the couple. I found out as much when I asked my cousin {a Priest} to officiate my first marriage. He couldn't because we were not Catholics. However when my first wife died he did her funeral service at my request.

My second marriage took place in a Catholic Chapel of a hospital. Again we are Baptist. Our preacher officiated with several Nuns and a Priest Chaplain as guest. Yes even though it was a second marriage for both of us and our preacher knew us he still did pre marriage counseling LOL.

In all seriousness though Biblical marriage in a church or otherwise is a man and a woman standing before GOD giving their vows to each other before Him and commitment before Him united through Him.

But; those churches do NOT have a 'requirement' on who can ATTEND a wedding in their buildings!

Weddings and funerals get the most UNBELIEVERS into church.

I've been to both where there were ALTAR calls after/during the ceremonies!

No church (in it's right mind) would exclude any unbeliever from attending any service on it's grounds!
