Weddings

Celebrate Your Covenant of Marriage.

When two people enter into covenanted commitment to live together in loving partnership, it’s time to celebrate. It’s a special moment for you and for your families, as well as for the community. At Robertson-Wesley we endeavour to support all people (all gender identities, and all faith traditions or non faith traditions) who wish to publicly affirm their relationship, as they prepare not only for their wedding, but also their marriage.

Booking a Wedding

Step 1: Contact our Office Administrator. The Office Administrator will provide you with information about when the church is available and costs involved. Weddings can be booked up to a year in advance.

Step 2: Fill out the booking form, sign it and pay a deposit. Once the deposit and booking form have been received your wedding date and time are confirmed.

Step 3: After the wedding is booked, the minister will be in touch with you to arrange an initial meeting.

Rehearsal

A wedding rehearsal, which lasts 30 to 60 minutes, is typically held on the evening before the wedding. The scheduling of the rehearsal is made in consultation with the minister at the first meeting.

Photography

Photographs may be taken during the processional, signing of the register, and the recessional. However, we ask guests not to photograph the actual ceremony, both because it can be distracting to other guests, and because we feel that when people are photographing a ceremony they are not fully attending. An exception to this may be made for an official photographer and/or videographer. Photographers are asked to consult with the minister before the ceremony. You are allowed to come back into the sanctuary after the wedding to take posed photographs. This should be arranged within your allotted time.

The Ceremony

Your wedding ceremony includes a blend of traditional elements and ones that are special or unique to you as a couple. The minister will provide you with a wedding planning book that gives you choice among various common elements such as prayers, vows, and readings. The ceremony can be personalized with the addition of special music, poetry, rituals and cultural traditions and the participation of friends or relatives (e.g., reading scripture). All ages are welcome to participate in the wedding party, please ensure they are old enough to perform their duties. Witnesses (2) must be 18 years old to sign the wedding license. Both the church sanctuary and chapel are available for the service. The chapel holds a maximum of forty guests and the sanctuary can hold up to six hundred and fifty.

Marriage preparation

Marriage preparation is mandatory. Couples may choose a marriage preparation program available through several agencies in Edmonton. In particular, we recommend:

Music

Music is chosen in consultation with the Music Director, who will meet with you after your initial meeting with the Minister. The Music Director will play for your wedding and has a large repertoire from which you can choose music. In keeping with the musical tradition of Robertson-Wesley, recorded music may not be used in the ceremony. If you require additional musicians there are many options available, such as the addition of a trumpeter, harpist or other instrumentalist, the singing of one or two songs by a soloist, or the inclusion of a string ensemble. In order for your ceremony to be performed as beautifully and smoothly as possible, we recommend you employ professional musicians for this purpose. The Music Director will be happy to give advice in this regard, and make whatever arrangements are necessary.

Facilities

The allotted time includes access half an hour before the ceremony, half an hour for the ceremony, and half an hour after the ceremony. Parking space is reserved in front of the church for the wedding car, and guests can use the church parking lot or nearby paid parking lots. The sanctuary is wheelchair accessible through the Memorial Building on the west side. Our sound system has hearing assistance equipment for people who are hard of hearing.
