No. Sometimes the South Elkhorn pastoral staff is unavailable and another minister will be needed. Somtimes another Minister with a connection to the couple is desired. Ministers from other traditions and churches are welcome to preside in consultation with the Wedding Coordinator and the South Elkhorn pastoral staff.

Note: Honorariums for outside clergy are arranged by the wedding party in addition to the costs involved (see above).

Three Venues: Historic Sanctuary, Garden, or Worship Center

South Elhkorn’s historic sanctuary is the most used wedding venue. It dates to 1870 and provides an intimate, charming setting.

There is also a beautiful garden with a stone fence that is perfect for a very small outdoor wedding.

For large weddings of more than 175 people, the worship center is best. It has flexible seating (movable chairs), a large stage, and a high ceiling.
