~ Weddings: Facilities ~
St. John's staff will prepare the facilities and be present to open, clean and close on the day of the wedding. If your wedding requires additional work, there may be other charges.
The Altar Guild coordinator will show the wedding party the dressing area which can be used for the bride and her attendants, as well as the area where the groom and his attendants may dress. The wedding party should plan to arrive well ahead of the ceremony. Ushers should be ready at least 45 minutes before the announced start of the ceremony.
We do not permit rice to be used for safety reasons and confetti is not allowed. If birdseed is used, it must be kept outside of the building.
St. John's is a non-smoking facility. The use of alcoholic beverages is not permitted before the ceremony. If your reception will be here, please speak with the Rector about the parish policy concerning the serving of alcohol.
The parish hall may be reserved for small receptions, if available. Please call the parish secretary about details and fees.
The act of celebrating the Eucharist is a most appropriate response to the blessing of a marriage. We recommend that the Sacrament of Holy Communion be included as a part of the wedding.
