I dont know what an S.O. is I am having a jewish wedding in a cathedral, with a conservative rabbi, I think its up to the Cathedral and then up to your officiant!
You might check cathedrals that are part of a school where you are an alumnus. Good luck!
Check episcopal cathedrals... many are gorgeous and I think they might be more flexible.

If the cathedral is still an active Catholic church then from my understanding No you cant use it for anything but a catholic service with a priest presiding over it. However you can look for Cathedrals that are now just historic landmarks not practicing churchs with congregations if you are in a large city.
Or as WeddingKitty suggested go to either an Episcopal Church or a Presbeterian Church both denominations usually have beautiful churchs very similar to Catholic Cathedrals.
It might help to indicate your location so that people can make recommendations. I'm having my wedding in a Protestant cathedral in Chicago.

I'm having mine in an Episcopal Cathedral in Pennsylvania. It's gorgeous! Very traditional, and a lot of times you can get it more traditional or more modern depending on your taste.
if you are looking at a catholic cathedral, then i don't think that's gonna happen. but there are non-roman catholic cathedrals that are just lovely. if u are in so. california, the glass cathedral is pretty famous and fabulous :)
My sister had her wedding in the very ornate and lovely Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, which was previously a Catholic church but is now a historical landmark. It was a big surprise to her when their Catholic priest told her he couldn't perform the ceremony there!
You can only have a Catholic ceremony in a consecrated chapel, so if the cathedral or church is currently operating as a Catholic church, you're out of luck. But I agree that there are many gorgeous old churches that are now historical landmarks, or are not Catholic. I would look into something like that.

Hey there,
So I was wondering, my S.O. and I are protestants, but we would like a traditional wedding. Aka, in a cathedral (we both appreciate the beauty). Most of the cathedrals here are Roman Catholic, and now we're both left wondering... are Protestant Pastors allowed to preside at a wedding in a roman Catholic Cathedral?
Thanks,
Joy
