A Church Wedding is a worship service and focuses on the Triune God before whom the couple comes to ask His blessing on their marriage.
You will want to Reserve the Dates and times for the wedding and rehearsal on the church calendar as far in advance as possible. Keep in mind that our church seats no more than 250 guests.
The Pastor will want to have a minimum of two interviews and counseling sessions with you. These sessions should be completed well in advance of your wedding day.
All Music selected should be in keeping with the worshipful aspect of the wedding ceremony. The music must be cleared with the organist or Pastor.
The Church Organist shall be used, as he is accustomed to the worship procedures and acquainted with the specialized feel of this pipe organ. If a different organist is requested, this should be cleared through the Pastor and the Church Organist.
The Wedding Hostess will be of great value to you in helping you plan, answering questions, and coordinating with people involved in the worship service. She will be responsible for unlocking and locking up and will be present at the rehearsal and the wedding to synchronize the procession and generally see that everything runs smoothly.
On the Day of the Wedding, ask your ushers to be at the church 45 minutes before the hour of the wedding. The entire wedding party should be dressed an hour before the time of the wedding to allow the photographer to take pictures. Out of town members of the party should plan to arrive in town at least 3 hours prior to rehearsal. It is a good idea to have maps made up in advance.
The Florist should have the church decorated at least one hour prior to the service. Arrange with the Wedding Hostess for unlocking the church for deliveries. Candelabras and flower baskets are available from the church. The Wedding Hostess can give you information about these.
Real rose petals, glitter, rice, birdseed, or confetti cannot be used during the service or thrown ouside the Church following the wedding.
The rules regarding Photography are definite and designed to uphold the divine nature of the ceremony. Flash pictures may be taken only during the processional and recessional, not during the ceremony. Ask the Wedding Hostess for specific details.
Contact the church office for the cost of all the above items as well as setting the time for the necessary Christian counseling from the pastor.
