Reviews for Westminster Presbyterian Church
GUEST
This church is truly stunning, both inside and out. The pastor and staff were very nice and professional, thought at times it took a few tries to get a response. Though it is pricey, you do get premarital counseling, which was really helpful for us. We loved the Pastor and the church coordinator was also great. They do have rules and restrictions, but they are basically the same as most other churches. The only thing brides may want to know is that pre-recorded music is not allowed, but they do provide an organist and as they promised, we got our full deposit back within days of the wedding. I would definitely recommend Westminster!

This is one of the most beautiful churches I have been to. They have a beautiful gothic cathedral look inside their main sanctuary (they filmed The Wedding Planner and The Wedding Crashers at this church). I fell in love with this church and this was the first venue that we booked after our engagement. However, what couples need to be aware of is that this church requires a huge security deposit and they are VERY strict about the rules that they have (and they will deduct fees out of your deposit for every infraction). Their calendar is fills up pretty fast. Our wedding rehearsal was booked back-to-back with another rehearsal. The other wedding party arrived early and they were moving around the chapel during our rehearsal. As soon as we were done, we were rushed out of the chapel - that we had to finish some of last minute touches on the wedding in the parking lot. We have beautiful pictures from our wedding, but we're still debating if it was worth having our wedding at this church.
WPC is a gorgeous gothic church that was featured in many movies and commercials - The Wedding Crashers and The Wedding Planner to name a couple. We were very happy with the church and we were lucky to have found it available on relatively short notice.
Some Pro's and Con's:
Pro's:
- Absolutely gorgeous inside and out
- Wedding price included an organist, a coordinator, and pastor
- Price (not compared to other church but compared to other nearby venues-hotels, outdoor areas/gardens, etc.)
- Long aisle for your moment of glory! :)
Con's
- They require marriage counseling (5 meetings total: an inital mtg with the pastor who will be officiating, 3 one hour meetings with the Westminster Counseling Center next door, a final meeting with the pastor to go over the ceremony)
- They have a strict wedding program that they follow (you cannot write your own vows or play modern music during the ceremony)
- Photographer/videographer rules (can only shoot from behind the last pew and from the balcony up near the front; no flash photography)
It really is a beautiful church...despite whatever con's there were, we were both super happy with our choice.
