I've always wanted to get married in a beautiful church with wooden pews with beautiful stained glass windows. I tried researching online but can't seem to find much information. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. Most churches do not allow non-members to use their sanctuaries. While some churches requirement is that one couple has to be their member.
From my previous post, you can see that I've chosen my venue to be at my own church. Actually, during that time which is a few months ago, I haven't really decided if I would like to use my own church building for my holy matrimony. That's why I went to research on other options. But now that we've decided to use the church building. I did not want all these super useful information that I have to be gone to waste. So I decided to do a blog post on it for the many bride-to-be(s) out there!
Anyway first and foremost, when I mean non-members, it means christians couples who have been baptised and are members of other christian churches. Now that I've got this cleared up, let's start.
Oh! And normally these churches only allow the wedding ceremony to be held on Saturdays and not Sundays because they normally have church services on Sundays.
I found 6 churches that I personally would approve because of the wooden pews. I love churches with wooden pews.

There's one more church that that allows non-members booking but I didn't email them because the location is at Tampines which is very inconvenient. But those who prefer the far East can take a look!

Actually there are more churches in the list that I've found but it seems like over the years, many churches are starting to not accept non-members bookings. I am not sure why. But one of the church's person-in-charge told me that it is because of the heavy usage of the church's ministries. Plus they also have to prioritise the use of the church building for their own member's wedding.
Hope this post was useful for those christian BTBs out there! :)

All these church weddings are simply gorgeous! I loved all floral decorations done in these weddings. Well, we always wanted grand wedding ceremony for us and have shortlisted couple of best wedding venues NYC and hopefully will select one soon.
ReplyDeletethanks for the tips and information..i really appreciate it.. חתונה חורף
ReplyDeletePeople like to impress, and thus, they join the church of their choosing to become member there in order to get married there. Is this right?
ReplyDeleteWas scrolling through and would like to say that it's not that easy to become a member of a church. Being a member and getting baptised are two different things of course. There's lots to discuss but in short, people may do that but it takes a lot of time and effort to actually become a member. Hope this helps! (:
DeleteAnd, with no pun intended, majority of them willing to go to church, to be baptized and thus, became a Christian. They then leave the church and move on to choose another church of their liking as their future wedding destination. After the wedding, they move on another church to escape from their church people they know. Beside, most times, when church people married in the church, they need not invite their church pastors or congregants. This because they are not close enough to be invited. They also do not want them to be difficult situation of whether to attend their dinner or just to give ang pow and not attending their dinner. This makes pre-ordering of dinner tables uncertain and difficult to order. The risk of them of not attending is high as they are not part of the relatives which normally would attend because if their give-face relationship of each other relative. This puts the risk of dinner of empty tables is high. It is a waste, and costly, too.
