WEDDING POLICIES
Please read this section carefully, as it is very important that you understand and abide
by these policies. While some of them may seem extreme, please know that we have
made them after doing thousands of wedding ceremonies; that they are made with the
safety and security of you and your guests in mind; that they draw on our experience of
doing worship services here day in and day out and of knowing this building inside and
out.
