Weddings

A Christian wedding you'll actually remember.

We officiate weddings for couples who want the marriage to matter — not just the wedding day. Every wedding includes premarital counseling with our on-staff LMFT.

Who we marry

We happily officiate weddings for (a) members or regular attenders of Carlsbad Coast Church, (b) couples who complete our 6-session premarital counseling program, or (c) community couples we've met through Carlsbad, North County, or referral, on a case-by-case basis.

What's included

  • 6 sessions of premarital counseling with Sarah Buchanan, our LMFT
  • Wedding ceremony planning meeting to design the service around your story
  • Rehearsal officiating at your venue the night before
  • Full ceremony — typically 20–30 minutes, Scripture-anchored, personalized
  • Marriage license signing

Venue

We'll officiate at your venue — whether that's the chapel, the beach, a backyard, or a ranch. We also occasionally host smaller weddings in our auditorium on Saturdays when the schedule allows.

Investment

For members, there is no fee — though an honorarium for the officiating pastor is customary. For non-member couples, $750 covers premarital counseling, ceremony, and rehearsal.
