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 variety 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 Counselor
and has separate 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, that they may be used but must be
enclosed- no unprotected wax at any time.) Also, you are
reminded that the instruments on the platform may NOT be
moved nor any 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 decorations at other iWC weddings, please ask your coordinator.
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
Please let your wedding coordinator know what day and time
you would like as soon as possible to assure that the date
is available 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.
Small Receptions
Our Cafe area is available for rental as your reception
site. The area can accommodate 70 people seated or 200 standing.
