∙ 12y agoNone. The Mormon Tabernacle is home to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. It is used for concerts, recitals, conferences, and special sermons, but is not available for weddings or regular worship services.
Perhaps you are thinking of the Mormon Temple? There are 135 Mormon temples worldwide, the most famous being next to the Tabernacle on Temple Square in Salt Lake City. The number of weddings in the Salt Lake Temple varies by day, but the Temple can handle about 120 weddings in one day. On a typical Saturday it is not unusual for the Temple to host 50 weddings or more, with weekdays being less crowded with about 5-10 weddings. On some occassions, it has been booked completely (such as on July 7, 2007). The other 134 Temples have different capacities and are not as busy. For example, the Mount Timpanogos Temple in Utah can handle about 60 weddings in a day, but rarely reaches that number.

Why did Michael york work with the Mormon tabernacle choir?
Michael York narrated the 2010 Christmas Concert for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir for a handful of reasons. He was asked to and had no other plans, so he accepted. He had done many religious things that year (including narrating an audio Bible) and thought it would be a good finale to the year. Also he enjoys the Mormon Tabernacle choir and as they originally began as a Welch choir he thought it would be nice to honor his Welch heritage by working with the choir.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) actually has several tabernacles throughout the western United States. These are mostly historic pioneer buildings now used for community gatherings and educational tours.

The organ has been renovated, restored, and rebuilt several times, and now includes 11,623 pipes. It is one of the largest pipe organs in the world.

Is Roma Downey a Mormon?
No, she is a devout Roman Catholic.However, the confusion as to why people might have thought she was a Mormon is because she played the angel Monica in the TV show Touched By an Angel. The only connection between the series and Mormons is that most of this series was filmed in Salt Lake City, UT.Another reason for the confusion could be the fact that Roma Downey was a host for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in a 1998 Christmas performance titled: A Christmas Gloria with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the Canadian Brass. However, it is noted that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir often has Non-LDS performers for many of its concerts and performances.Another AnswerThere was an article in the mormon periodical Church news, as "Sister Downey" thereby addressing her as a mormon.Another AnswerIt's hard to say what religious faith Roma Downey is. it is stated that when Roma married Mark Burnett her current husband that Della Reese, a Protestant Minster, officiated at their wedding. There is not much mentioned about what religious sect she is a part of, she may be Mormon, she maybe Catholic or she maybe Protestant, or for all we know she maybe non-denominational.
Which denomination does tabernacle belongs to?
The English word Tabernacle comes for the Latin for Tent. It was first used in English to refer to the portable sanctuary built by the Israelites during their wanderings in the desert (see the book of Exodus). During the 19th century, tents used for revival meetings were frequently referred to as tabernacles. The Mormon church refers to their public sanctuary in Salt Lake City as a tabernacle, and a random assortment of congregations use the name tabernacle in the names of their churches. There are many Tabernacle Baptist Churches, and a fair number of similarly named churches of other denominations.
