Only members of Wornall Road Baptist Church (WRBC) are allowed to get married in our building. No exceptions.
The approval of your request is contingent upon an Church Facilitator and Sound Tech being available for your wedding. This helps us steward our space and equipment well while minimizing your stress. In order to keep WRBC open for weddings, these positions have a mandatory gratuity fee as they are on volunteer basis.
Your Mandatory Church Facilitator fee is $400. This provides a Church Facilitator for up to two hours for your rehearsal (subject to availability) and up to four hours on the day of your wedding. They will be your day-of liaison and will assist in opening and closing the space, answer building related questions, and being your main point-of-contact on the day of the wedding. While they are willing and cheerful helpers, they are not wedding coordinators or event staff.
Your Mandatory Sound Tech fee is $100. This provides a minimum of one sound tech to ensure that the sound system is up and running and includes the use of WRBC’s microphones, stands, keyboard, monitors, and optional zoom feed. They will arrive one hour before your ceremony for sound check, run the sound and zoom feed during your ceremony, and assist in the take down of the tech elements from your wedding. If you are approved for your wedding to take place at WRBC, a separate Audio-Visual form will be sent to you so our Sound Tech can serve you well.
Both fees are due after approval and are non-refundable.
All decor setup and take-down must be completed while the Church Facilitator is present. Please keep this in mind as your plan your ceremony.
While not mandatory, it is common courtesy to give the pastor overseeing the ceremony an honorarium of ~$300. If you chose to have a pastor or elder of WRBC preside over your wedding, or if you go outside for your officiant needs, this is the standard.
If approved, you are allowed a two-hour wedding rehearsal the night before your wedding date. If you do not need a long rehearsal, this can also be a time you use to decorate the space for your ceremony.
