General Information

Rehearsal
A date and time for the wedding rehearsal should be set when the wedding date is confirmed. The Wedding Coordinator and/or pastor will conduct the rehearsal. Dressing Rooms The bride and her attendants may use the Bridal Room for changing and photography. The groom and his party will have access to another room. The rooms will be available one and a half hours prior to the wedding.

Seating
CPC’s auditorium accommodates approximately 600 people comfortably. The multipurpose room can accomodate 300 people. The church is usually set up in three sections with a section in the center. The chairs may be rearranged to create a center aisle if you prefer—most couples do!

Candles
Although candelabras and kneeling benches are not yet a part of the CPC supplies, we can provide you with a list of rental companies in the area. If you will be having candles as a part of your ceremony, please note that only dripless candles are permitted.

Flowers
All decorations must be approved by the Wedding Coordinator or Facilities Director. Flowers may be left in the auditorium following the wedding. (Please make arrangements with Wedding Coordinator). Aisle Runner The church does not have an aisle runner, but we can provide you with a list of rental companies in the area.

Pianist
CPC does not have a pianist on staff; therefore we cannot guarantee the availability of one. Your Wedding Coordinator may have a pianist to refer to you. However, you are responsible for the arrangements and fee. The grand piano cannot be removed from the stage.

Limo Parking
The area in front of the church on Shell Boulevard is a red zone. We would suggest that your driver park in the church parking lot (not on the courtyard please).

Videotaping/Photography
Videotaping and photography is permitted in the auditorium. The Wedding Coordinator will assist your photographer and videographer with the location(s) where the equipment can be set up.

Alcohol
Alcohol is not permitted anywhere on the premises. The bride and groom are responsible to inform the wedding party of this policy.

Sound/Lighting
Our auditorium has a state of the art stage lighting and sound system. We also have two large screens which can be used for powerpoint or video. A sound technician will be provided for your ceremony. You may play prerecorded music. Microphones are available for soloists and other live music. Your choice of music should be appropriate for the occasion and reviewed by the Wedding Coordinator.

• It is your responsibility to make sure that all decorations, flowers, and personal belongings are removed from the church after your wedding.
