traditional prairie church and provincial heritage site will be a

We know that you are
a unique couple and we honor your decision to have a wedding that is

The church was built
in 1919. It contains the original hand carved pews and features an
upright piano and electric organ.
The sanctuary can be
decorated with lace, ribbon and silk flowers.
The pews can be supplied with pew-bows. You are free to add flowers and
the accessories of your choice.
Below is a picture of the sanctuary that was decorated for one of our
autumn weddings.
