Can I get married at Harvestime?
We believe that marriage is a sacred institution set up by God and with that in mind, we only make our facility available for weddings for members of Harvestime Church. Also, the wedding can not interfere with already scheduled events and our in-house programs so we recommend that you apply early. Some of the stipulations include:
- The couple must be married by one of the pastoral staff from Harvestime Church or clergy who are credentialed by the Assemblies of God.
- You must attend the pre-marital counseling provided through Harvestime prior to the wedding.
- You must read, agree with, and submit the Wedding at HTC Form and the guidelines linked in the form's description.
- The wedding party must be out of the building by 5pm on Saturdays to accommodate set up for Sunday.
- No reception dinners can be held at Harvestime Church (although we do allow rehearsal dinners on Friday.)
- The bride or groom must be a church member to be married on-site. Please complete our Discovery Class to learn how to become a member!
Finally, we reserve the right to approve or deny any application for whatever reason
What are the restrictions and stipulations I have to follow?
- You will need to discuss with the Wedding Coordinator the times you will need to be in the building to decorate and prepare for your wedding.
- If there is an ongoing sermon series during the time of the wedding which includes pre-existing decorations that must be removed for the ceremony, there will be an additional fee of $50. Any removal of Harvestime decorations by wedding personnel is strictly prohibited.
- Harvestime Church is not responsible if anyone is hurt while on the premises.
- The piano is available for use, however, there are no other musical instruments provided by the church.

- Decorating may be done during office hours (Tuesday through Friday from 9am-4pm) or during the rehearsal. Notify our office on when you are planning on decorating.
- The wedding rehearsal is limited to 1.5 hours. If the decorations involve candles, they are restricted only to the stage platform and should be of the "dripless" variety.
