Canyon Creek Presbyterian Church, Richardson, Texas

We welcome you to consider being married at Canyon Creek Presbyterian Church. We see such worship services as part of our ministry to members and to friends in the community at large. Our staff wants to work with you to make your wedding the special day it will be in your lives. Each wedding at CCPC is viewed as an act of Christian worship. What makes it Christian is the couple’s commitment to put Christ at the center of their new relationship. Such a commitment first presumes that at least one member of the couple will be an active member here or in another church, or will evidence a readiness to take the next step on his or her journey of faith.

Whether you are planning a small wedding or a larger formal ceremony, we can help you plan a lovely and meaningful ceremony. Our new sanctuary will seat 835, but is an appropriate size for any size wedding. A member of the CCPC ministerial staff will supervise the content of the service and officiate at the ceremony. We are happy to invite ministers from other churches to participate when that request is appropriate.

Counseling

Pre-marital counseling is mandatory for all couples married at CCPC. Since the number of sessions may vary among the ministers, couples are encouraged to make arrangements with the Assistant to the Pastor or the officiating minister as soon as the wedding date has been secured. Pre-marital counseling must be completed before the wedding date. See contact information below for more information.

Wedding Coordinator

The Wedding Coordinator on the CCPC staff will be an invaluable asset in the preparation for your wedding Service of Worship. She will meet with you for consultation after you have scheduled a date on the church calendar and will be able to help you make many decision. In addition, the Coordinator will direct the wedding party through the rehearsal and assist at the wedding.

As a service to the bridal couple, the Coordinator will provide a preferred referral list for photographers, florists, off-site reception facilities, wedding, cakes, invitations and videographers. She will also introduce you to the Music Staff who will work with you on the music for your wedding.

Wedding Service

The ministerial staff of CCPC allows a traditional Service of Worship for marriages. Although the order may vary somewhat with each of the ministers, the basic parts for each service includes the following:

Wedding Receptions

Coordinating the reception is a service of the CCPC Wedding Guild. There are several areas in the church appropriate for receptions of all sizes, depending on your needs. We encourage you to tour our facility and make this determination for yourself. Our Wedding Coordinator will offer suggestions depending on your requirements. Although the deadline for accepting reservations is one month prior to the event, we recommend that you make this decision early in the cycle to avoid any scheduling conflict. Please note that alcohol may not be served at any function at CCPC.

Music

We recognize that music is a vital part of any worship experience. Since your wedding is regarded as an act of worship, the music selected must reflect the faith of the bride and groom and the sacred nature of the service. The wedding fee includes a consultation with a member of the church music staff to select music, instrumentalists, and soloists if desired.
