Expectations:

1. The state of Minnesota requires you to have a marriage license to be married. Weddings held at St. Lukes should meet this requirement.

2. St. Luke's is a church and we ask that our building and facilities be treated with respect. Nothing is to be removed from the table behind the altar; this includes the cross and tabernacle (small wooden box). No furniture should be moved without permission from the pastor or member in charge.

3. All microphones are delicate and should be used with care.  Both stationary microphones are truly stationary & cannot be moved or removed.

4. Unless there is a wedding manager present throughout the event who will be fully responsible, we cannot allow consumption of alcohol on the premises, either in or around the building or parking lot.

5. The building itself is a smoke free environment but there are smoking areas outside.

6. Compensation for any damage is expected.

7. Saturday weddings can not be scheduled later that 3:00 p.m (to ensure that the building can be cleaned and prepared for Sunday services).
