Weddings should be scheduled as early as possible with the church administrator and pastor, and STRONGLY encouraged no less than 6-12 months prior to the wedding date.  The administrator will indicate if the church and/or pastor is available.

Couples may come and view the sanctuary anytime Monday through Friday 9:00 am-5:00 pm by appointment.  We encourage viewing the sanctuary “in action” for Sunday worship services to get a feel for the space.  Sanctuary worship services times are available on our website.  We encourage couples to attend worship together.

For Members: The Wedding Application shall be completed and returned to the church.  The bride and groom must schedule and meet with the desired First Presbyterian pastor.  After pastor approval, the date is approved and confirmed.  The couple shall then sign and return the Wedding Contract (see page 9), with a $250 nonrefundable deposit.

For Non-Members: The Wedding Application shall be completed and returned to the church.  The bride and groom must schedule and meet with the desired First Presbyterian pastor.  After pastor approval, he or she will present the request to the Session administrative body, which must approve the wedding.  Upon receiving Session approval, the date is approved and confirmed.  The couple shall then sign and return the Wedding Contract (see page 9), with a $250 nonrefundable deposit.

For Guest Officiants: For those non-member couples wishing to provide their own clergy, the Wedding Application shall be completed and returned to the church.  It is the couple’s responsibility to ensure that the date is available on their pastor’s schedule.  The bride and groom shall schedule and meet with a First Presbyterian pastor.  After pastor approval, the pastor will present the request to the Session administrative body, which must approve the wedding.  Upon receiving Session approval, the date is approved and confirmed.  The couple shall then sign and return the Wedding Contract (see page 9), with a $1,000 nonrefundable deposit.

IMPORTANT: All applications for non-member and guest officiant weddings must first be approved by a First Presbyterian Church Pastor, then by the Session administrative body.  No non-member/guest pastor wedding will be accepted unless approved by Session, which meets monthly.  It is important to note it may take several weeks for approval to be officially received.

Member and non-member weddings are weddings performed by a pastor from First Presbyterian Church of Moorestown.  All Guest Officiants must be contacted and approved by a Pastor and be recommended to the Session administrative body.  

Non-member or Guest Officiant weddings may not be held on Saturday evenings or Sundays.  Saturday afternoon weddings (no later than 5:00 p.m.) are permitted.
