Weddings
Planning your wedding at the First United Methodist Church of East Greenbush:
DATE: | You should discuss the date and hour of the rehearsal and wedding with the pastor as soon as possible. The pastor will reserve the dates in the Church’s appointment book. |
PLACE: | The Church sanctuary seats 250 people. It is equipped with a pipe organ. |
MUSIC: | The regular Church Organist will ordinarily play the organ. The organist has a program of traditional music available and will be glad to consult with you to arrange the wedding program according to your tastes. If a substitute organist is requested and given permission to play at your wedding, that person will be responsible for the proper use and care of the organ. If you would like a soloist, this can also be arranged through the regular Church Organist, who has a listing of the suitable music selections available. Music arrangements should be made with the Church Organist as soon as the wedding date has been set by the pastor and you. |
FEES: | It is customary for the bridal party to pay modest fees to the individuals involved in the wedding service. A small fee is also charged for the use of the sanctuary by persons who are not members of the East Greenbush United Methodist Church. |
