Rehearsal
Green Acres Baptist Church is not responsible for personal items or money belonging to the wedding party, florist, photographer, caterer or wedding guests. Our ministers are frequently unable to attend wedding rehearsals or rehearsal dinners. The Wedding Coordinator is able to provide complete guidance for preparing your ceremony. The Wedding Coordinator will meet with the bride prior to the wedding, conduct the rehearsal and direct the wedding. Should you choose to employ a bridal consultant to help plan your wedding, that person will be expected to cooperate with the Wedding Coordinator and to abide by the policies of the church. It is extremely important that the exact time indicated for the rehearsal and wedding be observed. Care should be taken to have all members of the wedding party in their places at the time indicated. Each member of your wedding party is expected to conduct themselves with reverence and dignity while on church property. These facilities are dedicated to the Lord. ALCOHOL, DRUG USE OR SMOKING IN ANY GREEN ACRES BUILDING IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Since the Green Acres facilities are dedicated to the worship of God, we require that any dancing be limited to off-campus locations.
Decorating
You may have access to any of the buildings as early as 8:00 a.m. on the morning of the wedding and/or reception to decorate the rooms you will be using.
Due to lack of storage facilities, anything brought in by the wedding party, florist, caterer or a rental company must be removed immediately.
No nails, tacks, pins, wire or adhesives are to be used in any place or on any furniture in the church to secure decorations. Pipe cleaners, coated floral wire or padded clamps may be used to adhere arrangements and bows to pews.
We kindly request that you refrain from using lit candles within any building. We encourage the use of electric candles as a safe alternative.
