ARRANGING A WEDDING

 Weddings may be arranged through a personal consultation with the pastor of St. Matthew’s.  All weddings are under the direction of the pastor.  Plans need to be made well in advance so that the dates may be set for conversations that include completing a Prepare/Enrich marriage Inventory ($35 evaluation fee to Life Innovations, Inc.), sharing inventory findings and marriage expectations, and planning the wedding ceremony.  This usually involves three meetings with the pastor.  Church membership is not required of couples to be married at St. Matthew’s; but we do ask couples to worship with us at least three times. We want you to sense the presence of God in our worship, in our lives, and invite you to make worship an important part of your marriage.

 WEDDING COORDINATOR 

  The wedding coordinators are assigned through the church office for formal weddings with over 10 people.  The wedding couple will work with their assigned coordinator to assist the pastor in facilitating aesthetically pleasing and spiritually meaningful wedding ceremonies.  The wedding coordinator can answer many questions about the church, the sanctuary, customs at St. Matthew’s.  The wedding coordinator’s presence at the rehearsal and the wedding eases the tensions and confusion on a very exciting day. The fee of the wedding coordinator’s services is $75.
