The wedding fee is $1500 (all 2025 weddings).  

This includes the use of the church for your ceremony, 

rehearsal and Wedding Coordinator. Maximum capacity is

250 guests. A non-refundable deposit of $750 is required to

secure the date. The balance due is to be paid no less than

30 days prior to the wedding.

 

OFFICIANT/MUSICIANS 

 

If you require the services of Redeemer’s Pastor

for your ceremony, please let us know as soon

as possible. The suggested honorarium for the

minister is $500 and payable 30 days prior to the

wedding.

 

You may bring in an ordained officiant of your own. We ask that they are ordained through a recognized religious institution. 

 

The use of Redeemer’s piano and organ are included with the wedding fee. Musicians’ fees are separate. Redeemer’s Director of Music and the wedding music coordinator is Jeff Bray. It shall be the primary privilege of the Director of Music to play at weddings scheduled at Redeemer. The services of other musicians may be used with the permission of the Director of Music.
