We’re so glad you’re considering Historic Trinity for your wedding ceremony. Our goal is to care for your relationship before, through, and after the ceremony itself; as well as to provide a Christ-centered, joyful wedding for you, your family, and your guests.
Premarital Counseling
Trinity offers a two-hour marriage workshop for those in and around the St. Louis area. These sessions are offered free of charge and are required should our pastor perform your marriage ceremony.
Should another pastor perform your ceremony, we expect you to make arrangements for premarital counseling with them in advance.
Planning your Ceremony
- Worship at Historic Trinity is a unique and transformative experience. We ask that each couple considering our campus for their wedding attend at least one of our regular worship services.
- A wedding is first and foremost a worship service. Each couple will meet with a. member of Historic Trinity’s pastoral staff to plan the service, and music is to fit the character and purpose of a worship service.
- The Pastor and Director of Music will make the final decision on all musical selections. Live music is required for all pre and post service music, processional and recessional. Pre-recorded music may be used by a soloist.
Officiants
Due to regulations beyond our control, your wedding service must be conducted by a pastor who is rostered and ordained in a Christian Tradition of the Church.
Scheduling Your Wedding & Rehearsal
Wedding ceremonies are offered on Saturdays at 11am, 2pm and 6:30pm. Additional time and days can be planned by the couple and the pastoral staff.
Rehearsals are determined by the mutual consent of the pastor, wedding couple and musician(s). Rehearsals may be conducted earlier in the week than the day before for wedding when necessary and agreed-upon beforehand.
