Weddings at Lutheran Church of the Redeemer
Lutheran Church of the Redeemer shares your joy as you plan for your wedding day and your future life together.
We believe that a wedding service in the Church must be understood as a service of worship. Our policies for weddings are set forth in order that each wedding performed at the altar of Lutheran Church of the Redeemer be conducted in accordance with our theology and reflect the Church’s understanding of Christian marriage, home and family.

Can my pastor from another church participate in the wedding service?
The presiding pastor at Redeemer weddings must be an ordained Lutheran pastor, but pastors from other denominations are welcome to participate.
How do I reserve the church for our special day?
The Church Wedding Director, Cathy Vogel, keeps the Church Wedding Calendar and can advise you of available dates. We do not book more than twelve months in advance. No weddings are scheduled during Holy Week. For information on availability, contact her at (404) 373-7530. You must contact your choice of pastors before the date can be established on the calendar and premarital counseling can be scheduled. Your wedding packet contains a Reservation form. Your date cannot be confirmed on the Church Calendar until the office receives this form and your 50% non-refundable deposit. Your requested date may be held as tentative for two weeks to allow the return of the form and deposit.
