Frequently Asked Questions

Question: When will I know which pastor will officiate at my wedding and who my coordinator will be? How will I be notified?

Answer: Trinity pastors schedule weddings and all pastoral duties about three to four months in advance. The coordinators schedule up to six months in advance. As soon as pastors and coordinators have been scheduled, you will receive an email from Trinity's Office Administrator (amber@trinity-ec.org) with the name of the pastor and coordinator. It is important that you follow up directly with those individuals to pursue further planning of your wedding.

Question: What if I have questions for the pastor or coordinator before the assignment is made?

Answer: You may contact any pastor with questions or the Office Administrator (see above) with our questions. Some questions may be referred to one of the wedding coordinators.

Question: When are the fees due?

Answer: Fees payable to the staff that provide your wedding services are due in the Trinity office the week before your wedding. The Office Administrator will provide you the names of all individuals for whom you should write a check. Please bring these along with your marriage license to the Trinity Office.

Question: May we request a specific pastor to preside at our wedding?

Answer: Yes. At the time your reservation is completed with Pastor Kurt Jacobson, or anytime thereafter, you may express a preference. Every effort is made to honor preferences, but cannot be guaranteed. About three months before your wedding you will be contacted with the name of the pastor who will work to make your wedding a very worshipful service in thanks to God for the love you share together.

Question: May we have a pastor from another church preside at our wedding?

Answer: Trinity is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and an ELCA pastor must officiate weddings held at Trinity. Pastors from other traditions are welcome to be a guest officiant along with one of the Trinity pastors. Please consult with Pastor Kurt Jacobson before making an invitation to another pastor.

Question: Can we use the projection screens for our wedding?

Answer: It is our policy that projection is not used in conjunction with weddings.
