Weddings

Congratulations!

A wedding is one of life's great moments where two people make a life-long commitment to each other that reflects God's deep love for us.

People who seek to be married in a church usually have a sense of the sacred nature of the promises they are making. In a Christian marriage the partners seek to know and reflect the presence of Christ in their life together. 

And, let's not forget that it's one of the most important days of your life, and, of course, you want it to be perfect. We would love to be part of your special day and to help you create a memorable experience that reflects this sacred event.
