Making Reservations
When you know your desired wedding date, please telephone the church to ensure that the desired portions of the building are available. Note that the space you request is not reserved until the church has received the Wedding Reservation Form and the appropriate deposit.

Counseling and Planning
The Pastor who will be in charge of your service may need to have access to the building for planning purposes and counseling.

Music
One of the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies' organists will provide music for the ceremony. It is the responsibility of the bride to see that the organist is contacted and arrangements are made. The organist will help with appropriate music selections, with requests to be made at least two months before the wedding date. Should vocalists or other musicians be desired, be sure that they coordinate with the organist.

Decorations
Floral and other decorations should fit the solemnity of the occasion. Coordinate their delivery with the church staff. The florist or other person must be provided to remove the decorations immediately after the wedding. Candles are appropriate for weddings and only non-drip votive candles may be used. Alternatively, votives or hurricane lamps with drip cups may be used. The Sanctuary furniture may not be moved except that the Communion Table may be pushed back to provide space for the wedding party.

Photographs

Additional Provisions
