No.
The place of the wedding does not figure into the legitimacy of the marriage
Although the usual practice is for a Catholic marriage to be celebrated is in a parish church, the bishop can give permission for the marriage to be celebrated in another suitable place.
With love in Christ.

If your not Catholic you have to convert, to Catholic. Then your officially a member of the Catholic Church.
But, still have to bless your marraiage in the Catholic Church. If you are already Catholic, then you have to get married in the Church to make it official.

Slightly complicated question. Here is a hopefully helpful answer. The Catholic church recognizes all marrages as legitimate (This is as regards to at least one of the parties is Catholic) IF both of the marrying people have been legitimately baptized and it is in a Christian (not necessarily Catholic) ceremony.

yes and not you have to be married by a catholic priest for the religion to recognize it. also you can't marry someone who is not catholic my mother is catholic and my dad was divorced she was not allowed to marry in the catholic church they had to marry in his church. Many Catholic churches make the other partner convert like Jews do

No. You either have to be married by a priest or have your marriage blessed by a priest. That assumes that your marriage is allowed in the Church to begin with (i.e. neither is divorced). Forced conversions are no longer required for marriage in the US.
There are some dioceses that now require that marriages take place only in a church, but it can also be the chapel within the church (Nevada is an example).

Catholic Church prefers the Holy Sacrament of Matrimony be ministered in a Catholic house of worship.
However, if you have a legit reason for wanting the wedding elsewhere, you will need the permission of the diocesan biship.

well, i think it would be hard to find a priest who would perform a ceremony in a setting other than a church. whether or not it would be official, i'm not sure.
