Deposits

  • Wedding Deposit:  $400  – This is due with the signed reservation form.  The deposit is a partial payment of the total wedding fee.  
  • Damage Deposit:  $500 – This is required of non-members and should be a separate check marked “damage/rule deposit”.  It will be returned if not needed to cover damages.

Fees for Officiant and Musicians

The wedding fees do not include the officiating minister or musicians. 

Should you desire, one of CPC’s staff clergy may officiate your wedding. If one of our pastors officiates your wedding, they will determine an appropriate honorarium for their services.

Guest ministers/officiants are welcome upon approval of the CPC Pastor.  There is no fee if you would like to hire your own officiant. If you would like to use a guest officiant in your service, the CPC Pastor must approve your officiant. We will need the guest’s name, title, address, and email address.  

Should you desire to use CPC’s organist/pianist, Nathan Quiring, his fee is $375. He has extensive experience accompanying other instrumentalists, or playing as a soloist.

Cancellation Policy / Refunds

The wedding fees are refundable when cancelled more than 8 months in advance of the wedding date. Weddings cancelled less than 8 months will be refunded $200 of the deposit.  For both member and nonmember weddings no refunds will be given if cancelled less than 6 weeks before the wedding date.
