Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
If you wish to have a minister other than the minister of Kerrisdale Presbyterian Church officiate at your wedding, please ask that minister to write to The Clerk of Session, Kerrisdale Presbyterian Church at the address or e-mail address on the letterhead requesting permission to use our sanctuary for your wedding. This message should be copied to the minister.
The music for your wedding must be sacred or classical or praise-based, not secular. You will make your own booking and payment arrangements with the musician(s). We can make suggestions if needed.
A wedding is a religious ceremony and must be carried out with dignity. Please advise your photographer and/or videographer to not detract from the ceremony. Photos may be taken only during the processional, the signing of the register, and the recessional. The service may be video recorded as long as the videographer is not intrusive.
There will be a Wedding Host to assist you with any questions.
Candles are not permitted on the pews and pew bows must not be attached with tape. Candles may be used on the Chancel table. If you wish to use tall candelabras, you must provide protection for the carpet.
Additional sound or lighting equipment should be kept to a minimum. If needed, a Sound Technician is available for a fee.
Rice and/or confetti are not allowed in or on the church property.
