I could not be happier with our choice to use Grace Church! The large sanctuary was beautiful! They provided a coordinator to help make sure things went smoothly. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They also allow you to use their decorations which helped set a beautiful background. They allowed us to use our own pastor which was definitely a deciding factor in where we got married. The only negatives I could say is they have multiple locations within the church to use and all are the same price event though clearly they're not worth the same amount. The large sanctuary that holds about 1100 people costs the same as the small chapel in the basement that could probably hold 150. They only do weddings at 1pm and 4pm on Saturdays so if you have the 1pm slot, you don't have much time before or after. They told us pretty last minute that their choir/band has practice Saturday mornings at like 11 (which you would think could be rescheduled since you're getting married shortly after). Then, since there is a 4pm wedding you have to be out by 2:30 so you have to keep that into consideration with the amount of decorations you'll have to take down and your time to take pictures in the church after the ceremony. I did feel very rushed to get out. No one wants to add stress to the bride! Last thing is that they provide rooms for you to both get ready downstairs without running into each other. This is nice, however, the guys rooms was nice and the girls room was very, very bland to the point that I chose to get ready at the hotel. BUT, they do not allow you to come through the back door so I would have had to walk in the front. Clearly, you do not want anyone to see you already dressed and trying to get down the stairs so I sat in the lino for about 20 minutes until the wedding was starting and it was time for me to get ready to walk down the aisle. With all of that being said, it was a great decision. It's a beautiful church, with nice christian staff!
