Thank you for your interest in Riverside Presbyterian Church as the setting for
your wedding. We look forward to including you as part of our ongoing wedding
ministry. We are here to serve you. In order to help you plan your wedding, we
ask that you proceed according to the following steps.
Step 1. Obtain a Wedding Packet of information from the Administrative
Assistants in the church office. You may contact them in person during office
hours, or by phone or e-mail. The packet may be picked up from the office or
mailed to you.

Step 2. Schedule a face-to-face meeting with the Pastor, Rev. Dr. Scott
Jansen. At this meeting you may clear your choice of wedding date with the
Pastor’s schedule and the church calendar.
Step 3. Read the policy Weddings at Riverside Presbyterian Church, complete
and sign the information form, and submit the information form with your $200
non-member deposit ($100 member deposit) to the church office. Your wedding
is not officially on the church calendar until this step has been completed.
Step 4. Schedule a conversation about your wedding music with the Minister of
Music, Dr. Sally Sloane. This conversation may be by phone or in person. You
need to do this even if you do not want organ music at your wedding. After
hearing about the type of wedding you have in mind, Sally will inform you about
the wide range of music options that are available to you. If Sally has scheduled
a presentation of wedding music for couples planning to marry at RPC, she will
inform you of that date. If you wish to bring in a guest musician, there will be a
surcharge for the Minister of Music, as guest musicians usually involve more
rehearsal time for the Minister of Music.
Step 5. Schedule a conversation - by phone or in person - with the Wedding
Coordinator, Donna Ulrich. Donna will help you decide which sanctuary
accessories you want for your wedding, and will complete the financial sheet for
your wedding. Questions about any fees should be directed to Donna Ulrich.
Step 6. Review a sample of a typical wedding service, and consider what
modifications or customizations you would like to add to it. A typical service can
be found here.
