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! :)
