• A guest pastor is welcome to take part in the ceremony (scripture reading, homily) but a Trinity clergy person has to perform the vows and sign the marriage license. The guest pastor’s name and number is needed so a phone conversation can be set up for all to visit.
• The Pastors at Trinity ask couples to receive premarital counseling (at a cost of $225, which is not included in the wedding fee). To become familiar with the counseling we recommend and to have some questions answered, please visit http://jbragstad.com/index_files/Page1435.htm. The pastors also request that couples attend a financial planning session with their own financial planner or attend a free financial workshop at Trinity.
• Until you’ve actually “booked” your wedding date & time, all dates remain open to others
Once you've booked your wedding, we ask for a non-refundable deposit of $50 within two weeks of booking.
This will reserve your wedding date and time. The fee balance and your wedding licenses are due two weeks
before the ceremony.
Music at your weddingBelow is a list of music considered appropriate for processionals and recessionals for weddings. As you listen to the selections, write down those you like, and reach your selection of music through a process of elimination.
Any song listed below can be used either as a processional or recessional. You do not have to choose according to the categories shown here. Each couple has a different idea about what they would like to hear. Keep in mind that Lohengrin ("Here Comes the Bride") can be used as the bride's processional with any of these pieces. |
