| These
guidelines have been prepared as a guide to help you make preparations
for this special occasion. Please read the information carefully and
inform others closely involved with your wedding of its contents. A
church wedding is a religious service of worship and consecration. All
plans should be made with this in mind. We bless you and keep you in
our prayers. We also thank you in advance for your cooperation in making
your wedding the best it can be.
1.
SETTING YOUR DATE
- The Church’s Communications/Facilities Scheduler will help you find a
day and time for your wedding on the Church Master Calendar. You’ll need
to complete a Wedding Reservation form that, with the required deposit,
will hold the date for your wedding. A Wedding Contract, with the terms
and conditions covered, will be provided for your signature. A copy of
this Contract is sent to the Senior Pastor for approval and to schedule
your wedding counseling as well as ceremony coordination.
2. Reservations for the facility:
It is strongly suggested that you notify the church office as soon as
you have a desired date in mind. Many activities are scheduled on the
church calendar and advance planning is a necessity. When you have
returned the completed reservation form, received approval from the Sr.
Pastor, and the Church office has received the reservation deposit and
signed contract agreement you will receive written confirmation of the
date/time etc.. An invoice explaining the fees and payment due date
will be included with the confirmation letter.
(Note: Sunday afternoons, New Year’s Day, Easter Week, Thanksgiving
weekend and Christmas Eve/Day are not available for weddings)
COUNSELING -
All couples being married at TLC Church must participate in
pre-marital counseling. Additional counseling, for an additional fee, is
available and may be chosen in discussion with the officiating Pastor.
Counseling appointments are made directly with the Sr. Pastor. We highly
recommend additional counseling since we consider it to be an investment
in your marriage.
GUEST PASTOR -
If a guest Pastor is requested to share in the Wedding service, TLC
Church Senior Pastor must approve. We are glad to accommodate other
guest Pastors with the understanding that he/she will consult with the
TLC Pastor who’ll work out the Wedding service details.
WEDDING SERVICE
- The
ceremony provided by our Sr. Pastor is both joyful and reverent as
befits this important step in your lives. Several options within the
Wedding service can be discussed with the Sr. Pastor. Examples are: A
family member or friend may read a scripture passage; communion may be
taken by the bride and groom, etc. All options must be discussed with
and approved by the officiating Pastor. Additional services may be
provided at additional costs and may be discussed with Sr. Pastor during
consultation should you be interested.
LICENSE
- We recommend you begin arranging for your license at least one month
before the wedding. The Wedding License is Valid for 90 Days.
Please bring the License, in an envelope to be mailed, to the Wedding
Rehearsal. Without the License in Hand, the Wedding Cannot be Held. Once
the Wedding service is over and signatures are affixed, the document is
mailed to the County Recorder's Office.
BUILDING ACCESS

wedding and reception experience. Other designated areas for
dressing purposes may be available however; these areas are
classrooms located in our Education Facility and may not be open for
use, prior approval must be obtained. TLC Church does not supply a
wedding coordinator however, the Sr. Pastor and his Assistant will work
closely with you and a member of your wedding party or your own
coordinator to assist and insure the orderly progress of the rehearsal
and the wedding/reception ceremony. Please be certain you have
designated someone to insure use of the facility guidelines are followed
and have them remove all personal belongings from all areas used
immediately after the ceremony. The church does not contract or provide
janitorial or custodial services for weddings. This is the
responsibility of the wedding party please be certain facility is
cleaned, all food and trash removed, and it is set back up according to
the setup chart provided. A checklist and facility use procedure
guideline is listed in the Usage Agreement and will be checked upon
completion of your event. Failure to comply will cause loss of cleaning
deposit and additional costs obtained.
Decorations and rental equipment are to be removed promptly following
the ceremony. They may not be left overnight.
Receptions –
The TLC Church Auditorium can also be used for Wedding Receptions. Our
Auditorium facility includes space that can accommodate up to 350
persons, a Kitchen area, and Rest Rooms. In addition, the outside areas
around the Building can provide additional celebration opportunities.

limited and fees do apply for linens used. Janitorial & Custodial
services are not included and are the responsibility of the renter of
the church facility. Specific guidelines for these services are

To assure that
the church is in the best condition possible, a schedule of fees has
been established; A fifty dollar ($50.00) deposit must be paid at the
time you reserve the facility. The balance owed must be paid 30 days
prior to the wedding. A cleaning deposit of $100.00 must be given 1

FLOWERS &
DECORATIONS -
Most families like to arrange with a local Florist for floral
enhancements for the wedding or a decorating coordinator for ceremony or
wedding reception. The bride is asked to contact the Sr. Pastor before
making plans for decorating the church. A check list is furnished for
you regarding decorations. The Pastor or his Assistant can help provide
you with ideas and placement of floral and other permitted decorations
to enhance the look of the facility.
RICE, SEEDS, ETC. - For reasons of personal safety and potential
property damage, rice, bird seed, confetti, and similar materials are
NOT permitted inside the Church Facilities or outside the foyer areas.
We recommend that souvenir “wedding bubbles” be used at your reception;
however, if they are used here, they must remain outside the buildings
and all refuse from them must be collected by someone in the wedding
party/family.
Candles –
Candles
must be approved by the Sr. Pastor ~ Only Drip-less
& smokeless Candles may be used inside the facility. Candles used, must be secured
and supplied by the wedding party. This includes the unity candle if
used in the ceremony. Candles used must be supervised at all times to
insure the safety of the facility and guests.
FOOD/DRINKS
- The church does not provide a catering service. The couple/wedding
party must arrange this and are responsible for seeing that the caterer
is cleared through the church office and receives a copy of the usage
checklist and policy. The church kitchen may be used to serve food
only. The kitchen is not equipped with a stove. Some Utensils and
dishes are available in the kitchen and may be used however items used
must be washed and returned to their proper place. The kitchen, kitchen
floor, rooms and Auditorium must be left clean after use and trash as

It is important to remember that TLC Church is both a non-smoking

NO SMOKING IS ALLOWED
IN ANY OF THE CHURCH BUILDINGS. NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES AND/OR ILLEGAL
DRUGS are permitted anywhere on church grounds.
It is the responsibility of the bride, groom
and their families to inform their guests of all policies regarding the
use of church property.
MUSIC
- A church wedding is a religious ceremony in a sacred place, and the
Music, whether classical or contemporary, should spiritually uplift
those present and therefore be chosen accordingly. Music selections
should be discussed with Sr. Pastor in advance for approval. Music
selections not suitable for the wedding ceremony should be saved for the
reception. The church does not furnish music or instruments for
weddings however, we can suggest to you members within our church with
musical talents you may want to hire. You may hire them, or other
additional musicians (guitar, string ensembles, and the like.) however;
these requests must be cleared through the Sr. Pastor or his assistant
BEFORE contracting with them. (Payment to them is your
responsibility.) If there are any questions regarding the music, the
final decision is made by the officiating Pastor. Sound
equipment for CD’s may be used with approval by Sr. Pastor and a TLC
Sound Technician must be present.
PHOTOGRAPHER/VIDEOGRAPHER -
The Sr. Pastor or his
assistant must have the opportunity to discuss with your Photographer
our picture-taking policies. To maintain the dignity of the marriage
service it is essential that pictures be taken before the processional
begins or after the ceremony. The Photographer may move about the
Sanctuary during the service if it is not disruptive to the ceremony and
service. NO FLASH photography is permitted during the Ceremony. If you
engage a Videographer, recording MUST be done with existing light. The
operator is NOT permitted to move about during the ceremony. The Sr.
Pastor or his assistant will be glad to meet with both the Photographer
and Videographer to discuss areas where these activities can be done to
ensure reverence for the Service and respect for the wedding party and
guests. Failure to comply with these policies can result in the ceremony
being interrupted and/or a request for the disruptive party to leave.
REHEARSAL
- You need to notify all members of the Wedding Party of the date and
time of the Rehearsal scheduled with the Sr. Pastor. One Hour is set
aside for your Rehearsal and will be conducted by Pastor or his
Assistant. The Rehearsal is vital to ensure that the ceremony goes
smoothly. It also allows the Bride and Groom to make final changes and
decisions. It is crucial that the entire Wedding party be present and on
time. Traffic in our community is sometimes a significant issue,
so we urge you to plan to arrive 15 minutes ahead. If an outside Wedding
Planner is involved, that person should attend the Rehearsal, as well.
Please remember: Each person with a role in the Wedding is needed at the
Rehearsal.
PARTICIPANTS
- Thirty (30) minutes prior to the scheduled Wedding time, the Bride and
all Attendants, the Groom, Best Man and Groomsmen must be in their
reserved area's for the start of the ceremony. Twenty (20) minutes
prior to the start of the Service, the parents and grandparents of the
Bride and Groom will be asked to wait in the Foyer area for seating or
further instruction.
RESPONSIBILITIES - The Bride and Groom are responsible for seeing that all
members of the Wedding party and any outside contracted persons, are
aware of the church’s facility use and wedding agreement policies. Any
church property damaged or destroyed becomes the full replacement
responsibility of the Bride and Groom. TLC Church reserves the right to
modify these policies at any time.
