Church policy has LONG been against novelty or ( stunt) weddings. Often there are theological objections, a wedding held outdoors in a park might not be on consecrated grounds, for example- a conference back in the twenties held that a Marriage performed ( even if by a Priest) on a ship or other moving vehicle would be invalid as the craft would be in motion and outside of any parish boundaries! Maybe the choking type- wet blanket attitude is not all bad, a Sacramental dignity must be maintained- and the ideal place for a church rite- is in the Church,. There have been Nature masses in parks- for example, but these are not weddings.

Yes, not only must they take a class, but the Catholic must receive special permission (which is not always given) from the Bishop to have a wedding outside of a Catholic Church.

(Since the questioner placed the question in the Catholiccategory, I will limit the scope of my answer to Catholic wedding ceremonies.)

In dioceses with few priests the local bishop has delegated members of religious communites to conduct Catholic weddings.

Can a Catholic priest of a church in Iowa officiate at Wisconsin wedding?
For a Catholic priest to celebrate any sacraments, he must have a Celebret which is a signed document which is sealed by his Bishop attesting that he is a validly ordained priest and free to say Mass. He must be in possession of his Celebret to officiate at any sacraments where he is not personally known. To celebrate a sacrament (such as marriage) outside of his own diocese, he must have specific permission from the Bishop of the diocese in which the Church resides, in addition to his Celebret;, and specifically for a marriage, he must also have permission of the pastor of the Church where the wedding is to be held. If he has all of those permissions, then, yes, he may celebrate the wedding.

If your catholic, it should be conducted in the church. It is a sacrament and a mass is included with such.

A catholic ceremony were vows are to be exchanged, cannot, therefore, occur outside.
