AvailabilityWe offer weddings on Saturdays from 9am until 10pm and Sundays from 2pm until 10pm. During the month of March, all wedding ceremonies and reception rentals must end by 6pm.
Wedding CeremonyRehearsal – We provide a 1-hour ceremony rehearsal the evening before your wedding day at either 6 or 7pm. This rehearsal is for your minister to rehearse standing positions and the order of service.
Ceremony – We provide a 3-hour rental time for wedding ceremonies, which tends to provide more than enough time to decorate, get married, and clean up! Generally, the first hour is used to decorate the Sanctuary, and for photographs of the wedding party in the Courtyard and Memorial Garden. Your ceremony can start during the second hour and provides plenty of time for guests to arrive and for your wedding party to line up and begin the ceremony. The third hour can be used for family and group photos in the Sanctuary and to remove decorations. Music and Ministers – Our Sanctuary has a sound system with two hand-held microphones and a headphone jack available for your sound technician to play pre-recorded music. We are happy to provide you with a pianist or organist if you would prefer live music (classical or contemporary). We welcome ordained Christian ministers as guest officiates, or if you would like to speak to one of our ministers, we will put you in touch with them to begin planning your ceremony. Dressing Rooms – We provide the Fellowship Hall for the wedding party to use for relaxing before the ceremony. There is a dressing room for the bride and attendants with a private restroom, and the Casaday Library is available for the groom and attendants. There are separate guest restroom facilities adjoining Harmony Hall near the entrance to the Sanctuary which are easily accessible from the main parking lot. Wedding ReceptionsWe offer lunch and dinner options in our two reception areas. The Courtyard is outdoors and ideal for small receptions of up to 100 people. Harmony Hall is indoors, spacious and newly renovated with an AV system, and can accommodate up to 230 people. We welcome outside vendors to use our catering kitchen or you can ask for a list of local vendors. Restrooms are conveniently located in Harmony Hall and accessible from the Courtyard; we also have family-style ADA restrooms to accommodate mobility needs and baby strollers. Our Youth Room, which is adjacent to Harmony Hall, can be used for children to play with adult supervision (foosball table and couches), a rest area for the wedding party, or as a place to set up a photo booth.
