Our clergy at Wilshire would be pleased to consider officiating your wedding ceremony.

We have a multicultural pastoral staff, who can preside in English, Korean, Spanish or Tagalog. The suggested minimum honorariums for our Wilshire officiants is $250.00 and informal premarital sessions with the pastor are included.

You may also invite your own minister to officiate at your wedding. The pastor you choose must be ordained by a mainstream Christian denomination and be authorized to perform weddings in California. No written application or permission is required.

The Chancel area at the front of our sanctuary is an ideal "stage" for the wedding party and can gracefully accommodate up to 12 bridesmaids and 12 groomsmen, although three to five is average.

For your soloist, we have a wonderful Steinway Concert Grand piano. Our wedding organist will be glad to accompany your singers at no additional cost, rehearsing one hour before the ceremony.

Outside musicians are welcome to bring their instruments, including drums and culturally specific devices. As well, you have great freedom in your choices of music and/or dance worship under the guidance of our wedding director, Lori Jones.

Fresh petals may be dropped by the flower girl along the aisle, however silk petals must be used if the aisle is to be extensively covered. Bubbles are allowed inside and outside the church, but rice throwing and the release of nonmetallic balloons are confined to the outdoors. Doves or butterflies may be released on the front steps of the church, although we strongly discourage using living creatures as part of the festivities. Confetti, sequins, sprinkles, party poppers or fireworks are not permitted inside or outside our Wilshire church.

Donation fees for the booking of a Wilshire wedding are detailed online on our expenses page.
