  • Only the Main Entrance on the south side of the building will be opened for weddings. Please include this information in directing your guests to the church.
  • All rented furnishings will be the responsibility of the rental company and/or the person(s) the bride and groom assign.
  • The Wedding Coordinator must be notified of any rented fixtures to be brought in (arches, etc.) and arrangements scheduled for drop off and pick up of those items.
  • No nails, tape, or glue should be used to fasten any decorations to Victory Family Church furniture or building. Wrapped wire, ribbon, or plastic clips that will not mar finishes can be used to fasten bows, flowers, etc.
  • If an aisle runner is used, the sanctuary requires at least 72 feet of runner from the first step to the back of the sanctuary. Since the back door is not at the center of the sanctuary, an additional 20 feet is required to continue to the back door if that is your preference.
  • If the bridal party includes a flower girl, live flower petals may only be dropped on the aisle runner. Flowers or petals may not be dropped on the carpet itself. All petals must be picked up following the ceremony.
  • The church has two candelabras that are available for use. They require 2" pillar candles (7 per candelabra) that you will need to provide if you choose to use them. They have white bows on them which you can replace with your own if you desire with florist wire. Please take every precaution to protect the floor from candle wax.
  • No arrangements using water or other liquids are permitted.
  • Rice and birdseed CANNOT be used inside or outside the church facilities. As an alternative, we suggest the use of bubbles or small bells. These items are available for purchase at most craft stores. Bubbles cannot be used inside the building. All containers of bubbles must be handed to the wedding guests as they leave the facilities. DO NOT leave them where guests can pick them up inside the facilities.
  • The stage area is rented "as is" with minor adjustments that can be made. The drum platform and instruments will be moved to the side of the stage prior to the wedding.
  • Lights may not be strung in any of the plants or greenery inside or outside of the sanctuary.
