Introduction

Entrance of St. Andrew'sWhether or not couples have been in the routine of attending church, they tell us that when they find the right partner for life they feel blessed and thankful to God for this person and the love they share. The wedding ceremony allows couples to profess their love and commit themselves to each other in the presence of One who has blessed them. Family and friends gather together to confirm this gift with hope and joy. All weddings held at St. Andrew’s are officiated by our minister.

Wedding services at St. Andrew’s assist couples to express that gratitude in a way that reflects their sense of spirituality and their. For this reason we do not perform “civil” ceremonies” at St. Andrew’s, however, we will be delighted to work with you to create a service that reflects your personal faith in God.

To Our Church Coordinator: You did such a fantastic job with our huge wedding party, 18 people in our party was a task for anyone to handle. You pulled it off like it was a piece of cake. Thank you once again.

To Our Minister: We have received such wonderful comments on how our ceremony was so emotional and memorable. I would like to say that the exchange of the gifts to our sons was so beautiful with the sand ceremony following that. Thank you so much on how you calmed us both down to be able to fully enjoy each and every word you spoke.

To Our Organist: He played Flawless. The Braveheart Theme was so special as my uncle played the bagpipes in the ceremony.

Thank You so very much for a beautiful atmosphere. A job well done.

Thanks so much for making our Wedding day so wonderful! And a special thanks to Deb for putting so much of your heart in the ceremony.


Just back from our honeymoon and wanted to write a huge thank-you to (Kay), and everyone at St. Andrews who helped make our day so wonderful. We received so many compliments on our choice of venue, and everything was even better than we could have imagined. Thank you and best wishes,

Diana & Ian.

We had our wedding at St. Andrew's church on Aug.27/05 . It was the most rustic, intimate ceremony enjoyed by everyone. I will never forget the look of how amazing the sunlight came through the stain glass window and gave me a little peace with the "wedding nerves." Thanks for all your help & advise.

Hi Everyone,

My husband, Dave, and I got married at your historic little church on October 1st, 2005. Our reception was held at the Bedford House. On many occasions, Dave and I have said that we wouldn't have changed a thing about our beautiful autumn wedding. Many of our guests have commented that it was one of the best weddings that they have ever gone to. I wanted to send to all of you a heartfelt thank you for making it such a wonderful day. It was deeply appreciated.

Sincerely,
Mary Ann

P.S. I love your Church' s new website.
