* Wedding deposits are refundable until the day before the Rehearsal minus completed spiritual direction sessions, mileage, and any special order costs associated with your special day.

* Would you like to be Baptized? If the answer is yes, we remind you that we are ordained United Church of Christ clergy, which means we can Baptize children and adults. Rev.
