Only in a Church; exception is if other party is Jewish or other religion that, out of respect for their faith, the church allows marriage any place at all, provided paperwork is proper and other party commits to all the requirements of a valid catholic marriage (permanent commitment, children to be raised catholic, free to marry,etc.)

If a Catholic priest marries a couple outside the Church he is disobeying his vows. If however, he has a license to marry, the state has no opinion whatsoever and cannot. If the two are married outside the Church their marriage is thus voided by the Catholic Church and is blasphemous. However, a Catholic priest may, as a friend of the couple, attend their wedding. they cannot represent the Catholic Church. Its that simple.

Can a divorced Catholic man marry to a Catholic convert woman in the Catholic church?
The answer depends upon whether the Catholic man's first marriage was canonically valid, and, if so, whether he has been granted an annulment. The marriage of a Catholic in a civil ceremony, for example, is not canonically valid in the eyes of the Church. In most cases, such a marriage would not require an annulment for a second marriage in the Church to take place. If, however, the first marriage was valid in the eyes of the Church, as for example, a Catholic wedding, then it will be necessary for the man's first marriage to be annuled before he can validly contract a second Catholic marriage.
What if married outside the church and can't have a catholic priest at the ceremony How do you get the church to recognize your marriage?
The question needs to be expanded as there are many things to consider. A Catholic can marry outside the church as long as it is in another Christian church and recognized by the Catholic church if the non catholic party agrees to your oath to raise the children as Catholic. The priest does not have to be present. The marriage must be in church, it cannot be outside the church in a garden or country club, unless the non-catholic party is Jewish or Muslim (out of respect) and again agrees to the children being brought up as Catholic If two catholics are married by a Justice of the Peace outside of church they can have their marriage recognized by the Catholic Church,as long as this was first marriage for both.

Can a divorced Catholic man remarry by a justice of the peace?
It would be advisable to talk to the priest at the local Catholic church about having the first marriage annulled. While the Catholic Church does not recognise civil divorce, it does offer annulments where it believes the circumstances are justified. Since the Catholic Church regards marriage as a binding commitment, an annulment has the effect of saying that, in the view of the Church, the marriage never really happened. Without an annulment, a church wedding is probably not possible.
Can a Catholic receive communion if married to a non Catholic in a civil service?
