Church Wedding Ceremony in Milwaukee

It might be best to look for a public option if you want to have your own officiant/pastor. Many churches will not allow other pastors/officiants to come into their church and perform a service. To each its own, but I would have my FH take the courses to become a member.

I think you would probably either have to have him take the classes, or find a public location where you can just have whoever you want officiate.

Is his father a pastor/preacher/priest anywhere? I've never heard of church's allowing outside people to marry couples inside the church, but I suppose it could be possible. Our pastor is marrying us, but we aren't having our ceremony at our church. It will still be beautiful & Godly, but it will be outdoors at our reception venue. Would you consider having a religious ceremony somewhere besides a Church, like I am doing?

Not sure if you are willing to venture a little south of Milwaukee, but the DeKoven Center in Racine has a chapel that we are using for our ceremony! You can have whoever you want officiate.
