Marriage is a covenant of love made between two people in the presence of family and friends as witnesses. This love that is shared between two people reflects the love God shares with us. Marriage is a commitment that is to be undertaken with care and kindness, courage and patience. It is a sacred connection that is deepened over time and with intentional focus.
At Westworth, we believe that a loving relationship leading to marriage may exist between any two consenting adults of legal standing. We will not discriminate based on age, culture, race, sexual orientation, gender or religious tradition (as long as some aspect of the Christian Faith is present during the service).
Here is some basic information about weddings at Westworth (for more details, please see the brochure):
- Once the date and time for the ceremony has been booked, the minister will be in contact to arrange a time to meet and have a conversation about the service – this includes such things as music, photography guidelines, rehearsal planning, flowers and other incidentals. Generally, there are at least two planning meetings for the service.
- We have two spaces for ceremonies: The Sanctuary, which holds up to 400; and the Chapel, which seats 30.
- Livestreaming, PowerPoint, and the playing of recorded music is available.
- We have a grand piano and an accomplished pianist who can play for your service if requested.
