Weddings at Saint Paul

Your Special Day at Saint Paul

Congratulations! 

Saint Paul welcomes any couple desiring to marry. It is a great joy for us to take part in your journey and to help honor the profound commitment of marriage. 

Our historic building is a beautiful place to celebrate your wedding. 

Our Sanctuary was built in 1901 and was most recently renovated in 2001. The space includes beautiful 29′ x 43′ stained class windows, custom Bedient Opus 70 pipe organ, wrap around balcony, tall arched ceiling, and seating for up to 700 guests (900 with balcony seating).

The Chapel is a perfect setting for small, more intimate gatherings. Complete with stained glass windows and a raised chancel, the Chapel is idea for weddings with fewer than 200 guests. 

We do our best to make the wedding ceremony reflective of each unique couple and their beliefs. 

A Saint Paul pastor shall conduct all wedding ceremonies at the church. If a visiting pastor is requested, permission shall be granted at the discretion of the senior pastor. Once a date is requested, Saint Paul will verify which pastor is available. We do our best to make the ceremony reflective of the couple and their beliefs, so several meetings with the assigned pastor may be necessary during the ceremony planning process. There is no requirement for pre-marital counseling, but it is available upon request. 

Musicians from Saint Paul are happy to be a part of your special day. Saint Paul will supply the organist/pianist unless prior approval is granted for guest musicians to use our instruments. Our Director of Music and Assistant Director of Music both have experience as wedding accompanists. The Sanctuary has a grand piano and a custom pipe organ. We require all music be given to our musicians at least two weeks prior to the rehearsal so our sound technician and accompanist have time to coordinate. The fee for our musicians includes a music consultation, the wedding rehearsal, and music before, during and after the ceremony. 

You may choose to have strings, brass, or a relative/friend perform. No approval is needed and the musicians fee will be deducted from your total. Recorded music is also permitted. If your wedding requires the use of the church sound system, the church will secure the sound technician.
