Weddings


Marriage Preparation: Rev. Warren can recommend a number of resources for pre-marital counseling ahead of the ceremony.


Ceremony Guidelines:  The couple and the words of the liturgy should be the main focus of the wedding ceremony. As such, our minister will discuss with you some simple rules surrounding photography and videography in order to ensure distractions are minimized.


We are quite flexible when it comes to activities/decorations connected with your wedding and these elements will mainly be left up to you. The use of confetti, rice, or other small tossed objects is however, not allowed in the church or on church property.


Booking Your Wedding: The first step to booking your ceremony is contacting the church office. You're invited to then come to worship one Sunday and meet our minister to ensure our beliefs and practices are in accordance with yours. After that, a deposit guarantees your date.  The deposit may be made by cheque, in Canadian funds, made out to Erindale United Church. Because a wedding fee is not a charitable donation, no donation receipt can be issued. The balance of payment is due no later than three weeks prior to the wedding date and must be paid with cash or cheque.
