Having a Wedding at TVC

The cost of getting married at TVC is $950 and includes 2 hours for a Friday rehearsal, 4 hours for a Saturday ceremony, the services of a coordinator/point of contact from TVC, and the services of one of our sound engineers. Additional hours and services may be added.

All rules and fees are spelled out in the TVC Wedding Packet – 2025. Wedding dates can be submitted for consideration via the form below. Ceremonies can be held at TVC on Saturdays until 5 pm. Because we need to reset The Chapel and other rooms for our Sunday morning services, all wedding parties and equipment must be out of the building by 7 pm. You may have a TVC officiant or an outside officiant of your choosing lead the service, provided it takes place on an approved date within these designated times.

TVCers (those who have been involved in TVC for 6 months or longer) are also welcome to participate in the TVC Marriage Prep Program regardless of where their ceremony is held or who is officiating.

Please take a few moments to click on the link below and fill out our Wedding Request Form so we can get the ball rolling. You will need to complete the form if you are marrying at TVC, having a TVC officiant officiate your ceremony, OR if you are wanting to go through the TVC Marriage Prep Process:
