Westminster United Church

DO NOT BOOK YOUR WEDDING HERE! I'd like to something positive about my experience working with the church but it was awful. From the very start they double booked our wedding date and did not tell us till months after wards when we already had other contracts with other vendors. We made it work with the other date however the problems did not stop their. We paid extra for their soloist to perform (because they do not allow outside people we were told) however on the day they didn't show up. We submitted our musical request months before however on the day of the event the organist had not idea what our music selections were (the sheet music was luckly on site) however there were lots of mistakes in his performance. As an organist myself this was one of the biggest reasons for booking the site and I was very disappointed with the performance. We had a couple meetings with the minister before the service to clarify and select different verses and passages we'd like read. However during the service two of these (the ones most meaningful to us) were entirely omitted and phrases we asked to be removed that he agreed with regarding "the point of marriage being solely produce children" were left in. To top it all off he forgot to announce us husband and wife and allow us to kiss. I was so upset with just one thing after another happening that I cried leaving the platform and for quite awhile after the service.

They sent us free tickets to the concert series they host, but nothing will ever replace those memories for me for that day and it turns now a year latter to even talk about them.
