Dear Couple in Christ,
Weddings are one of the most sacred and significant ceremonies of the church. The Bible
tells us that Jesus is our Bridegroom and awaits with awesome anticipation the marriage
supper of the Lamb—that time when His Bride, the Church, will be presented to Him,
without spot or blemish for an eternal union. That is why every earthly wedding has a
special and endearing spot in the heart of our Lord Jesus Christ.
With this in mind, we desire to make your wedding day the most memorable occasion
for you and the heavenly hosts who watch. From the decorations to the vows, we invite
God’s Spirit to speak the joy of this celebration to all who participate.
As with every other event that takes place at Calvary Chapel, we approach each wedding as
a ministry opportunity. Many couples have prayed long and laboriously for the salvation of
their family members and friends. Your wedding and reception are an opportunity for them
to witness the reality of your God and a chance for them to experience His presence in a
way that is meaningful and applicable. For this reason, we have made some suggestions on
the following pages we feel will accomplish this goal.
We pray that you will enjoy your special day, knowing that God has foreordained every
second for His glory. Allow Him to lavish you in His love, keep you at peace in His
providence, and inspire you with the eternal perspective of the heavenly wedding that
awaits us when Christ returns.
Calvary Chapel Wedding Ministry
CONGRATULATIONS!
You’re both about to embark on an amazing adventure. But right now,
you may be asking yourself, “What’s the next step in planning?” It’s
so easy to get caught up in the endless details and pressing deadlines.
This wedding planner is designed to act as your insider’s guide—
giving you the most essential advice and easy-to-follow steps when
preparing for your big day. But before you get started with your to-do
list, take a deep breath and pray. Give God any anxiousness you may
be feeling. Remember, your marriage and wedding are a gift from
God and He already knows every detail! So, there’s no need for you to
stress.
Get excited! This is going to be an exciting journey.
Now . . . let’s get planning!

GETTING
STARTED
TOP WEDDING PLANNING TIPS
It probably comes as no surprise that planning your wedding means a ton of decisions to make. But before
you dive in, take a minute to read our best big-picture hints.
1. STAY ON YOUR KNEES
5.
Think about it—God already has your wedding
planned. He knows every detail. Pray for the Lord’s
blessing and guidance over all the details that will be
decided. You only need to seek Him daily, so He can
show you what He has planned just for you.
It’s so important to take a look at your entire
budget so that you know what you can afford in
each category.
STICK TO YOUR BUDGET
6. ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS
2. KEEP FOCUSED
Don’t ever be afraid that your questions sound silly.
And don’t hire anyone until you’ve received a good
answer to every question!
Don’t rush ahead of Him. Every day strive to give
your wedding plans to God. And if things don’t go
as planned, it may be because He has something far
better than what you could ask, think, or imagine.
Be on guard against the enemy who would love
to steal your joy and focus during this time of
planning and preparation.
7. LEARN TO DELEGATE
The purpose of having a bridal party is to have people
who can help you. In other words . . . delegate! Be
bold. It’s okay to ask people to help you.
3. MAKE IT YOURS
8. H AVE A LIFE OUTSIDE
OF PLANNING
Be creative. Don’t get stuck with “tradition” for
tradition’s sake. Use your relationship history,
heritage, or favorite colors or activities as
inspiration. Find a theme that’s personal to you
both, keeping in mind to always be respectful of the
venue(s) you’ll be using for your wedding day.
Don’t be so busy planning your wedding that you
neglect each other and your relationship to God
as a couple during this time. Declare wedding-free
days where all talk of table cards and centerpieces
are forbidden.
4. PICK YOUR BATTLES
9. REST
Don’t obsess over every single detail. Sit down and
decide your top priorities, and then spend most of
your budget, energy, and attention on those items.
Stay on your knees and in the Word. At the end
of the day, no matter what happens, you’re getting
married. Think about it—God already has your
wedding planned!

TIPS TO FINDING YOUR WEDDING STYLE
We think your wedding day should not only be the holiest day of your life as you enter into a covenant with your
future spouse and Savior, but also the most fun! God loves marriage, and we want you to have a blast celebrating with
your friends and family. Whether you’re planning a traditional wedding at a church or getting married outside on a
lawn, planning a wedding for 10 or 300 guests, here are some tips to pinpointing your wedding style.
1. THINK BIG
informal seating and stations? Your wedding should
reflect both of your own personal styles and the kind
of atmosphere that best speaks to you two as a couple.
Now, it’s time to start dreaming! That’s right—
it’s the first step in the process. Picture your
dream wedding. What do you see? Here are a few
questions to consider while everything is starting to
come together in your head:
4. N ARROW IN ON
YOUR STYLE
The more specific you get with your vision, the
easier it will be for you to choose your details and
convey your ideas—the tighter your theme, the
better. Most likely, your venue is going to be a
reflection of the elements you both already love.
To help shape your style, look within. Write down
words and key aspects that define you as a couple.
Your theme can be anything from a favorite era,
a hobby, to your heritage or culture. Or perhaps
there’s a place you two hold dear, like the park
where you got engaged or the cities you traveled to
and fell in love.
··Big (everyone you know) or small (close friends
and relatives)? Outdoors or indoors?
··Modern, classic, romantic, vintage, rustic, or
all-out glam?
··Fancy, casual, or somewhere in between?
··Spring, summer, winter, or fall?
2. G ATHER AND SAVE
INSPIRATION
To get a better idea of what you want, spend some
time checking out bridal magazines, books, blogs,
and real wedding photos. Be open to finding ideas
from all kinds of places and things—maybe it’s a
variety of paint chips, ribbons, or a unique fabric
pattern. Collect your ideas in an inspiration binder.
It’s a great way to keep everything organized and also
help you visualize how all the various elements will
look together.
5. PICK YOUR COLORS
Color is a great way to unify all of your wedding
elements, from your invitations to your
centerpieces. One of the simplest ways to make
everything come together is to stick with one main
color and an accent color or two equally prominent
complementary colors. Choosing an analogous
color scheme (three colors which are side-by-side on
a 12-part color wheel) or monochromatic (a color
scheme that is based on a single hue and its various
shades) are also great ways to find your palette. As
a general rule, vibrant colors tend to evoke a sense
of drama whereas softer colors create more of a
romantic feel.
3. F IGURE OUT THE
FORMALITY
How fancy or casual do you want to go? What kind
of environment do you imagine celebrating your
wedding in? Do you picture yourself all dressed up
at a sit-down dinner or something more casual with

TOP WEDDING BUDGET TIPS
From engagement parties to bridal showers, wedding dresses to flowers, we know weddings can be expensive. You
don’t have to break the bank to have an absolutely spectacular, God-centered celebration. Going into debt for
your big day is not worth it. Here are a few tips to figuring out your wedding budget.
1. FIGURE OUT WHO’S
5. BE FLEXIBLE
CONTRIBUTING
Your choice for your wedding day and season will
affect your budget more than any other factor. High
season plus a Saturday night will run you top price
in every category, so be open when scheduling your
wedding day.
Talk with your families about who might be
contributing. Some brides’ families still pick up the
entire tab, but most commonly, the bride’s family,
the groom’s family, and the couple pay for the
wedding together.
6. ASK ABOUT HIDDEN COSTS
2. SET UP A SYSTEM
Put all your wedding money in one separate
account so you can easily track additions and
withdrawals without confusing them with the rest
of your day-to-day (non-wedding related) funds.
Asking about costs up front will guarantee that your
budget can actually cover them. For example, factor
in taxes, service charges, and overtime fees. Make
sure that when you get an estimate from a vendor, it
includes those charges.
3. BE CLEAR ABOUT YOUR
7. BUDGET IN THE EXTRAS
Tell your vendors your price range at the beginning.
If you’re clear about your price point, there won’t
be any surprises when it comes time to sign the
contract.
Allocate a place in your budget for things like
stamps for the RSVP cards, ribbons for the favors,
and marriage license fees. Going “just over budget”
in a few different categories with a plan of making it
up somewhere else can push you past your limit.
BUDGET
4. DECIDE WHAT’S MOST
IMPORTANT
Pick your top three priorities and allocate a little extra
money for them. Next, pick three things that come
lowest on your list and budget a little less for them.

TOP CEREMONY TIPS
1. FIND A PASTOR/MINISTER
3. PLAN AHEAD
YOU BOTH LOVE
Don’t wait until the last minute to find out about
marriage license requirements in your area. Check
out your county clerk’s website for guidelines and
set aside time to pick up your license the week of
the wedding.
It’s important that you both share a mutual respect
for the person officiating. Allow the pastor/minister
to learn about you as a couple—be it through
premarital counseling or meetings. It’ll lead to a
much more personalized ceremony.
4. SCHEDULE A REHEARSAL
2. INCLUDE BOTH FAMILIES
During your ceremony rehearsal, your wedding
coordinator will be available to walk you through
the entire rehearsal planning process for your big
day and make sure everyone knows where to stand
and when to walk. Your wedding coordinator is
also available to assist the day of your wedding for
on-site weddings only. Please make sure to schedule
a meeting with the wedding coordinator 4-6 weeks
before your wedding day.
Early in the process, listen to both families’ views
and expectations for your wedding day. You and
your sweetie should then decide how to proceed
and discuss your choices with your families. Be
open and honest with everyone from the start so
they know what you’re planning and why.

TOP RECEPTION PLANNING TIPS
Your reception site sets the stage for the entire party. Think about your wedding style, your guest list size, and the
general mood you want to set. Here are some helpful hints to keep in mind before you book a venue.
1. CHECK THE FIT
It sounds obvious (because it is), but make sure the
room is large enough to accommodate the number
of people on your guest list. Space can be deceiving
and look larger when it’s empty.
2. KNOW HOW TO SAVE
Kallima Photography
There are ways to cut costs by being flexible on
when you choose your wedding date. Try to get
married in a less popular month (avoid June,
September, or October) or consider a night besides
Saturday because reservations tend to be cheaper
(like on a Friday or Sunday).
3.
WEATHER THE STORM
We know you walk by faith, and not by sight, but if
your reception site is outdoors, you should have an
alternative location in mind—no exceptions!

WEDDING SERVICES
At Calvary Chapel, our desire is to make your wedding day the most memorable occasion for you, your family,
and friends. Below is an outline of wedding services we provide. For more information on any of these services,
contact our wedding coordinator.
1. MUSIC
4. SET UP AND TEAR DOWN
You may hire a pianist, violinist, or other musician
for your wedding or you may choose to use CDs.
Planning your music in advance can help to create
the atmosphere that you desire at your wedding.
Calvary Chapel maintenance will take care of
anything belonging to the church that they set up
for you. Set up and tear down of your decorations
and rented material is your responsibility. We
suggest creating a list with the items that are rented
or belong to you and assign someone in your party
to take care of it after the ceremony.
2. SOUND SYSTEM
The sound system in the Sanctuary and Chapel are
available for your use during the wedding ceremony
only. If you’d like to use this equipment, one of
our Calvary Chapel sound technicians will need to
be scheduled to set up microphones and play your
music. We do not offer these services during your
wedding rehearsal.
5. RECEPTION
We offer several elegant venue options to
accommodate both large and small wedding
receptions. The Grill Catering Manager may assist
you in choosing the one that best fits your needs.
3. STAGE
6. FOOD AND BEVERAGE
Please be aware that the drums and percussion
instruments cannot be removed from the stage
for weddings in our sanctuaries; most couples
find that the equipment is far enough away from
the center of attention and is, therefore, not a
distraction. Please do not move anything on the
stage without permission.
If you are having a reception in one of our banquet
rooms, our catering staff will prepare and serve the
food. Our catering manager will help you select a
menu and decide on other details for your special
event. No alcohol is allowed.
