All of this information and more is included in the Wedding Information & Policy Packet.

Photographer

When choosing a photographer there are some things that you will want to keep in mind.  Think about how much of your wedding day you will want to pose for the camera.  Do you want more posed shots or candids?  You will want to see both types of photos from a perspective photographer, some are very strong with one and not the other.  Does your phtographer understand what it is that you are looking for?  Are they personable?  (they will be spending al lot of time trying to take photos of you, your families and your friends for a good part of the day...it would be nice if they didn't make people frown!) 

Make sure they understand the rules that the church has for them.  It is most important that your families and friends are able to focus on your wedding and your promises to each other and not the person recording it on film.

Flowers

 Flowers in the chancel area of the church are not expected, but are appreciated!  If you are providing flowers, a combination of altar/flower stand is something to discuss with your florist.  If you would like to leave flowers for the weekend, so the entire congregation can celebrate with you, please let us know that, and let us know your colors, too.

Nothing is to be attached in any way to the ends of the pews.  No tacks, tape, metal hooks, etc.  Rubberbands and/or ribbon work really well for this!  Please refer to Pew Bow section for additional requirements.

If you are having a wedding candle as part of the altar centerpiece, make sure that all three candles are easily removable from and replaceable in, the centerpiece.

Flower petals can be scattered down the aisle if the petals are a light color that will not stain the floor. An aisle runner is also required to make clean-up easier

Aisle Runner

An aisle runner is not required or expected unless you are using fresh or artificial flower petals to scatter down the aisle.

We do not provide an aisle runner.  You may purchase or rent those at a number of places.  The proper length for the aisle runner to purchase/rent is 75 feet.

You are responsible for getting the runner here, having someone secure it, and for removal and disposition of the runner after the service.

Service folders (bulletins)

Service folders (bulletins are not an expectation.)                                     

We can help provide a service folder for you, at a reasonable charge to cover our costs. If you have a service folder done by someone other than the church, please have the consult with the Pastor for order of service, appropriateness, etc prior to final printing of service folder.  You can fax it to 414-529-6710, email it to  This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it  or drop draft copy off at church office to the attention of wedding coordinator.  We reserve the right to prohibit distribution of inappropriate service folders.

Pew Candles

Pew candles are available at the Grange Campus only, and are serviced by the women of the altar guild for a nominal fee.
