Venue notes

We charge a flat $2,000 for use of our sanctuary, which includes:

- Use of the sanctuary for your wedding, for a total of three hours including:
- One hour for set-up
- One hour for the wedding ceremony
- One hour following the ceremony for photos and any breakdown
- Plus one hour for rehearsal, usually the night before
- Use of existing furnishings
- A wedding coordinator on site for the rehearsal and wedding (four hours total over both events).
- Basic, existing sound equipment (primarily for pastor, speakers, soloists).
- Use of our baby grand piano and/or our recently refurbished 1916 Austin pipe organ with trumpette en chaminade
- A waiting room for groomsmen

Cost does not include a pastor because our pastor just retired and won't be calling another for several months.. We can provide a list of pastors who have officiated at First Presbyterian before, or you may use your own ordained pastor.
