National UMC and our pastoral team are honored to be part of your special day.
The building use fee for weddings for non-members is $3,000 and $1,500 for members. This fee includes the use of the Sanctuary, a room for both wedding parties, and the services of a building staff person for both the rehearsal and the ceremony. An organist, other musicians, and live streaming can be provided for an additional cost. Please contact the office to make these arrangements.
Weddings must be conducted by one of NUMC’s clergy. The fee for clergy officiating a wedding for non-members is $750. An honorarium for clergy is strongly encouraged for members of the congregation.
To ensure that the commitments inherent in marriage are as strong as possible, couples being married at National UMC are required to undergo marriage counseling. Premarital counseling is provided by NUMC’s clergy, but it can be done elsewhere with their approval.
A deposit of $1,500 for non-members, and $750 for members, will confirm your wedding date. The balance is due thirty days prior to the wedding.
To start discussions around wedding arrangements please contact the church office.
