Immanuel's Reception Hall
If you have your wedding at Immanuel, you may use the social hall or the grounds for the reception. It is very convenient and there is no charge for the use of the facility so many choose to do so. However, there are some restrictions about which you should know before you make this decision:
1 It will only seat about 200 people comfortably. 250 is possible, but a little crowded;
2 Smoking is not allowed in the building;
3 Alcohol is not allowed on the property, period;
4 The P.A. system is not adequate for a dance. You will need to provide the P.A. for dance music;
5 The bride and the groom are fully responsible for any damage or costs incurred because of their wedding; and,
6 The bride and the groom are responsible to see that the social hall is cleaned up entirely and put back the way it was found after its use. (There are people that can be hired to do this for you.)
Immanuel has a fully equipped kitchen for those who wish to cater their own reception. Professional caterers are also welcome to use the kitchen.
It is also our policy at Immanuel that when the social hall is being used for a wedding reception, a member be present in order to monitor the use, clean up, and lock up of the building. We call this person the "Social Hall Chaperone". If you have a friend or relative who is a member here, you can ask them to fulfill this function. If not, the church's janitor or the wedding hostess can be hired to do so.
