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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
