Congratulations!

Congratulations on your forthcoming marriage! We are delighted you have chosen to be married at Christ Presbyterian Church and rejoice with you in the anticipated blessing and joys of life together as husband and wife in the providence of God.

The CPC Wedding Manual and Guidelines (click to download) have been prepared to assist you in preparing a wedding ceremony that will be both pleasing to you and bring honor and glory to God. Remember, the wedding service is first and foremost a worship service in which the marriage ceremony is performed. All decisions must be determined by this guiding principle.

In addition to this manual, Christ Presbyterian Church is pleased to offer you the service of a trained Wedding Consultant and the instruction of a Premarital Pastoral Counselor.

Summary of Procedures

• Please read and complete the Wedding Application, Waiver and Agreement and submit them to the Wedding Scheduler with the appropriate fees. She will schedule a meeting for the couple with one of the CPC pastors. Once approval by the officiating Pastor has been received, the facility will be confirmed for the requested date.
• The engaged couple must complete premarital counseling with one of CPC’s pastors or an approved counselor or PCA pastor. Be sure to allow for a minimum of three months to complete premarital counseling. It is highly recommended that all counseling be completed at least three months before the wedding.
• The Wedding Consultant will arrange a meeting with the engaged couple four to six weeks prior to the wedding. At that meeting, the rehearsal and wedding details will be discussed and particular needs will be addressed. Please have information available on the wedding party, florist, photographer, videographer, wedding program, music, special seating.
• Please consult with CPC’s Music Pastor at least 30 days prior to the wedding to plan the music for the ceremony.
• Honorariums are usually presented to the officiating Pastor(s) on the day of the wedding.
• Payment for the Music Pastor or musicians are made directly to those individuals. These payments are due in full two weeks prior to the wedding.
• Have a wonderful wedding day!
