frequently asked questions

WHAT ABOUT REHEARSALS
You must determine your rehearsal time for the lease agreement well in advance to ensure that a Wedding Coordinator can be booked . Rehearsals usually take a couple of hours and are scheduled close to the wedding date. 

WHAT HAPPENS ON THE DAY OF THE WEDDING
The Wedding Coordinator will be available to open the church approximately one hour prior and your guests are encouraged to come at least one half hour before the ceremony begins. If requested, time will be dedicated to taking photos either inside or outside.

DO WE HAVE TO USE IUC MINISTER?
Other Christian leaders of faith are welcome to perform your ceremony.  If requested, they must submit their professional accreditation and sign a lease addendum found here.

EQUAL MARRIAGE
The United Church of Canada supports equal marriage. Each person as a unique, loved creation of God. God intends loving relationships to be faithful, responsible, just, healing, and sustaining of the couple and those around them.
