How do special ceremony requests work?
Include any special requests in your Wedding Request Form and discuss them with the officiating pastor. Some requests may require additional review. If communion is approved, it is reserved for the bride and groom.
How long is an OCC pastor available on the wedding day?
OCC pastors reserve up to 90 minutes for your wedding, beginning at the agreed pastor arrival time. This includes preparation with the couple, communion, the ceremony, and other pastor-supported activities. Changes to the agreed timing must be communicated at least one week before the wedding. If the wedding is delayed and the pastor is available to remain beyond the 90-minute window, an additional $100 fee will apply.
