Setting the Date
You will want to plan as early as possible, so that there
will be no conflicts between your wedding and any other
iWC events. To set your date, call the church office or
refer to your wedding coordinator, whom will be assigned
to you upon completion of the application. Your tentative
date will be held for two weeks, at which time you will
need to turn in the application with your initial deposit.
Choosing an Officiant
We have a varitey of people that are well qualified to officiate
your wedding. If you do not already know who you would like
to perform your wedding, your coordinator can provide you
with a list of approved officiants in the church.
Pre-Marital Counseling
Please contact Rev. Ben Manley to arrange the manditory
pre-marital counseling. Ben is a Licensed Pastoral Couneslor
and has seperate fees from iWorshipCenter. Counseling generally
lasts about 6 -8 sessions/weeks.
Order of Service/Approval
A week or two before the wedding, you will meet
with the officiating pastor to go over all details of the
ceremony. It is a good idea to review things like wording
for vows, exchanging of rings, etc. as well as the service
order at this time. The pastor is the one who approves music,
readings, and any other things you wish to include in your
service.
Building Information
The sanctuary seats 525 people. You will also have use of
the foyer, bathrooms, and one room each for the men and
women of the bridal party to prepare in.
Music
You are required to furnish your own music. iWorshipCenter
is open to having musicians and soloists come in, or using
CDs is also perfectly acceptable. We do offer a couple of
sample CDs if you would like to borrow them.
Decorations
You are free to decorate as much or as little as you like!
Of course, we expect that you will respect the building
and maintain proper usage at all times. Please remember
our rule for candles is that they must be enclosed- no unprotected
wax at any time. Also, you are reminded that the instruments
on the platform are NOT to be moved nor wires unplugged.
Your coordinator may help you with any setup issues. You
are welcome to decorate for the wedding during business
hours the day before the wedding, or you may set up a specific
time outside business hours with your coordinator. At the
time of the rehearsal, you may also choose colors for lighting.
You/the wedding party is responsible for all setup and tear
down of decorations. The building must be emptied of all
personal belongings by 9 PM on the wedding date. If you
would like to see photos of how other iWC weddings have
been decorated, please ask your coordinator and we would
be happy to provide you with some ideas. The church
is not responsible for any lost, stolen, or damaged items.
Any damages sustained to the church facility will be billed
to the appropriate persons.
Rehearsal
Rehearsals are generally held on the Friday evening before
the wedding, but can be any time/date available that you
prefer. Please let your wedding coordinator know what day
and time you would like as soon as possible to assure that
it can be reserved for you. The officiating pastor will
lead the rehearsal, which usually lasts about an hour.
Photography & Video
If you choose to have your event photographed and /or video
taped, please see your coordinator for guidelines.
