ABOUT THE CHURCH
The sanctuary will seat approximately 200 persons. Our reception hall will seat approximately 115 persons. Many more can be accommodated for a less formal reception.

INTRODUCTION
Weddings are an extension of the ministry and pastoral care of the church. They provide a worship occasion in which the bride and groom offer their vows before God, and their family and friends.

Contact the Church Office Manager, Pam Mackenzie to schedule a tour, meet the pastor and staff, and reserve the facilities. Your wedding plans need to be secured with a deposit of $300 payable to Lincoln Park Presbyterian Church.

MARRIAGE CEREMONY
The marriage liturgy which a guest Pastor uses must be similar to the service used by the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) or be reviewed and approved by the Pastor of Lincoln Park Presbyterian Church.

When the ceremony is completed and the marriage certificates have been signed, the Church will arrange to have the certificates photocopied and mailed to the County Clerk.

Rice, confetti and birdseed etc. are not to be used.

THE WEDDING RECEPTION
The couple must provide the Church with the name address and phone number of the person who will be providing food and beverages and is responsible for the reception.
