Weddings

Congratulations on your engagement and upcoming wedding!

Next to receiving Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, choosing a spouse is the most important decision you will make. We believe that marriage is a gift from the Lord, given to us to put His greatness on display for the world to see (James 1:17, Matthew 5:14–16).

 

Getting Married at Wheaton Bible Church

1. Complete Application

We would be honored to be part of your special day and help you prepare for your new life together. If you are interested in having your wedding at Wheaton Bible Church and/or having a Wheaton Bible Church pastor officiate your wedding, the first step is for both the bride and groom to complete our Wedding Application Form.

Please note that this application is required for all couples requesting the use of Wheaton Bible Church facilities, as well as for couples requesting a Wheaton Bible Church pastor to officiate their wedding, whether the ceremony takes place at the church or at an off-site location.

In order to faithfully steward the church’s facilities, resources, and the time of our staff and pastoral team, wedding services are available to those who consider Wheaton Bible Church their church home, as well as immediate family members of church attendees (e.g., son, daughter, grandson, or granddaughter).

2. Participate in Pre-Marriage Mentoring

The process of becoming one happens when you stand before God and your family and friends and present your vows to each other. The process of living as one in a covenant relationship takes some practice and we want to provide you with the tools to get started. For this reason, as you are making plans for your big day, we ask that you participate in this class, offered in the fall and spring.

Pre-Marriage Mentoring

Pre-Marriage Mentoring is required for all couples getting married at Wheaton Bible Church or by a WBC pastor. We encourage couples to begin mentoring 4–6 months before their wedding date.
This process includes:

  • SYMBIS Assessment – A personalized tool to identify strengths and growth areas. Assessment must be taken prior to the workshop.
  • One-Day Workshop – Learn biblical principles for marriage and connect with mentor couples.
  • Mentor Sessions – 5–7 meetings with a mentor couple to review your assessment and grow together.
  • Pastoral Meetings – 2–3 sessions with the pastor officiating your wedding.

This is more than a checklist—it’s an investment in your lifelong journey together.
