Weddings
Congratulations on Your Engagement!
The people of Christ Church Amherst are happy that you have chosen to use our church facilities for your wedding! We hope that your service will be beautiful and that you will be blessed by our facility. It is our desire to add joy to your wedding and help to make it a very memorable occasion.
The Details
Read our complete wedding booklet for all the answers to your special day at Christ Church Amherst including the application, fees, church etiquette, and more.
Reservations
It is important that all dates be cleared with the pastor’s calendar and the church office as soon as possible so that any conflicts can be avoided. For this reason, we ask that both be given as much advance notice as possible—preferably at least four months.
WEDDING DAY TIMING
The building will be opened one hour prior to the time set for the wedding. The candles will be lit about one half hour prior to the ceremony. Prelude music will begin about 15 minutes before the ceremony is set to begin. All weddings will begin at the appointed hour with the seating of the couples’ parents. Guests arriving after that time may be seated in the rear of the church after the processional.
BUILDING USAGE
The church Sanctuary and Chapel are available for weddings, both for members and non-members of Christ Church. Areas are available for the bridal party to gather before the ceremony, and facilities for dressing are available for the bride and/or her attendants. Crafts Hall is available for a Rehearsal Dinner and/or Reception. A building use form should be completed and submitted.
