Brides, if they are to be dressing at the church, should arrive no earlier than 3 hours before the wedding in order to dress and have photographs taken. It is highly recommended that as many photographs as possible be made before the ceremony.  The photography session must be completed at least 30 minutes prior to the service.

The Parks Wilson Room and Women’s Restroom in the Education Building are available for you to use. The Parks Wilson Room is equipped with large mirrors and lighting. An iron and ironing board are available upon request.

The minister will arrive 45 minutes prior to the service. If you wish to include the minister in your photographs, please inform the minister and arrange to have these photographs done during the last 15 minutes of the photo time.

You are welcome to bring food and drink for members of the bridal party; however, the party must be aware that NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES are permitted on the premises. Use of alcoholic beverages just prior to the wedding is inconsistent with the religious nature of the ceremony and is not acceptable.

Do not leave valuables of any kind in the rooms after dressing. We recommend that you remove valuables, as well as clothing, hair curlers, etc., to your cars so that following the service you get to the reception quickly.

The groom, groomsmen, and ushers usually come to the church in their wedding attire. Should they wish to dress at the church, suitable space will be provided; please inform the Church Secretary of this need prior to the day of the wedding.
