The church is decorated at the beginning of Advent, and these decorations are not to be changed or removed. At least 3-5 hours are needed between weddings if more than one is held on the same day. Five hours are needed if the reception is held at the church. Two hours are allowed for the wedding. The church is open two hours before the wedding.
Earlier access requires additional compensation for custodial staff and utility expenses.
A couple planning to be married should arrange a conference with the officiating Pastor as soon as possible after a tentative date for the wedding has been set. No weddings are conducted without this step. The initiative for the first conference should be taken by the bride and groom. Additional conferences will be arranged, if desired, in consultation with the Pastor. A pastor from another United Methodist church or minister from a church of another denomination is welcome to assist with the wedding ceremony and will be extended an invitation by the Senior Pastor.
