Wedding FAQ
You may book your wedding up to one year in advance, allowing you and your family ample time to prepare while staying in alignment with our church calendar.
Weddings are typically hosted on Fridays and Saturdays, subject to Chapel availability. Saturday ceremonies must begin no later than 12:30P. Due to weekend worship services, ceremony start times are strictly enforced. Weddings are not hosted on Thursday evenings or any time on Sundays.
Your Chapel reservation includes a generous 4-hour window for setup, your ceremony, and tear down (e.g., a 12:30p ceremony reserves the space from 10:30a to 2:30p).
Our venue is entirely dedicated to the sacred ceremony of marriage. To preserve the intimacy and spiritual focus of this milestone, we do not host wedding receptions of any size or type.
The reservation fee is $3,500. This service charge provides a licensed Mariners Pastor or Elder, a dedicated “day of” wedding coordinator, and a professional audio technician.
A Mariners Pastor or Elder must officiate the wedding ceremony. Outside pastors are welcome to participate in specific elements of the nuptials (such as the welcome, prayer, or vows). This requires prior approval from the Wedding Director and overseeing Discipleship Pastor.
Our pastors primarily focus on our on-campus ceremonies and we encourage couples to reach out directly to our pastors to inquire about their availability to officiate off-site.
Due to his rigorous teaching and ministry schedule, our Senior Pastor is unfortunately unable to accept invitations to officiate wedding ceremonies. However, we have a dedicated team of approved pastors available to officiate your special day.
