Weddings at Good Sam

Weddings

 

Thank you for considering having your wedding ceremony at The Good Samaritan United Methodist Church. Marriage is one of the most important events of your life. We would like to help make this special time as joyful as possible.

Our sanctuary offers the perfect setting for an intimate wedding. It seats 350 people and access to state-of-the-art audio visuals to perfectly customize your wedding ceremony. Guest clergy are permitted to perform the wedding with the permission of our Senior Pastor. Our pastors are also available to perform the wedding service. All couples to be married by our pastors must meet with the officiating pastor for premarital conversations and wedding planning. Good Samaritan provides a wedding coordinator as a liaison between wedding party and the Church. The wedding coordinator will be available for consultation and general instruction no less than 6 weeks prior to the actual service date. You may arrange for your own accompanist/musicians or the church can recommend one for you.

A word from our wedding coordinator…

Should you choose to be married at Good Samaritan, my role as wedding coordinator is to work with you to ensure that your wedding ceremony flows smoothly.

I will work with you on plans for your ceremony, making sure that your desires and the church's amenities are coordinated, and that your sound and lighting needs are met. I assist with the rehearsal, and am there to assist on the wedding day itself, which includes preparing the church for the early arrival of the florist and photographer.

Couples should note that my role is not the same as a wedding planner. Some couples choose to additionally hire a wedding planner to co-ordinate the whole of their wedding (flowers, reception, scheduling of the day etc.). Other couples prefer not to - either way works with us!

I am delighted that you are considering Good Samaritan United Methodist Church for beginning your married life.
