Wedding FAQ's

Do I have to be a member to get married at CGCC? - No. However, you must be a regular attender. We would love to accomodate each and every request for weddings, but based on the number of weddings held here each year we have made regular attendance a requirement to ensure that those who attend are able to have their wedding at CGCC.

Is there a minimum waiting period? - Yes. To ensure the couple has sufficient time for pre-marital counseling there is a minimum 5-month period for weddings at CGCC.

What are the wedding fees? - $400 + $50 deposit. The fees cover a wedding coordinator, audio engineer, your pre-marital counseling, and use of various wedding decorations (see wedding handbook for details). In the event that audio/video requirements for your wedding require additional technicians or time, additional fees may be required. 

Is pre-marital counseling provided? - Yes. We offer the Foundations of Marriage retreat for any couple planning to be married. After your application has been approved, contact the church office for scheduling information.  Retreat dates for 2008 are April 25-26, August 22-23 and October 24-25. Space is limited.

Can I have my wedding on Friday? - No. Due to worship band rehearsal and other logisitical issues we are unable to perform Friday weddings.
