Laura Maham is responsible for scheduling the dates and times for your wedding and rehearsal. She also schedules the pastors and coordinators who will perform the wedding. She can be reached by e-mail weddings@gpch.org or 713-267-5030. If you would like more information on attending Grace and becoming part of our congregational family, Laura or a pastor can help you with that as well.

We know you may have many questions about your ceremony at Grace, and this book of information has all the answers. We want this process to be easy and transparent so you can focus on the ceremony and your upcoming marriage! Please review our Wedding Guidelines. 

• Chapel: $1,500

• Sanctuary: $2,500

The Founders' Chapel can hold 300 people and the Sanctuary can hold 1,500 people. These fees include: pastor, wedding coordinator, organist, vocal or instrumental soloist, (2) seven-tiered candelabras, and custodial service. Please note that for some instruments there may be an additional fee.

There is a facility usage fee of $250.00 for walk-in weddings and wedding vow renewals. This is for ceremonies that have no coordinator, attendants, music etc. A pastor’s honorarium is discretionary.

Do I have to be a member of Grace?

No, our doors are open to any couple who is interested in starting their marriage on a Christian foundation.

What do wedding coordinators do?

Ensure that all aspects of your wedding are orchestrated properly and answer all questions or concerns relating to the ceremony/worship service, conduct the wedding rehearsal (pastors do not attend rehearsals), and oversee wedding day details at the church including candles, flowers, photographs and videos. The coordinator will also be at the church 1 1/2 hours prior to the ceremony and 45 minutes after your ceremony ends.

Does Grace require pre-marital counseling?

Yes, the bride and groom will meet with the pastor who is officiating their ceremony 1-3 times.
