About East Liberty Presbyterian Church

A wedding at East Liberty Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh's "Cathedral of Hope," means walking down a Gothic nave 202 feet long and 75 feet high, lit through glass from eight stained glass studios. The church fills an entire city block in East Liberty, and its Gothic scale makes a grand setting for wedding photos and video. Professional photographers work mostly by natural light during the service, which suits the colored light falling through the windows, and flash is allowed for the processional and recessional.

Here you can hold a Presbyterian wedding ceremony led by an ELPC minister, with music by the church's own musicians and the organ. A church coordinator handles the details and gives you a timeline for photography, including the times and places available for pictures before and after. A dressing room is available for the wedding party, and the church can supply a kneeler and candelabras. The ornate sanctuary needs little decoration; most couples simply add flowers for the chancel.

Your videographer films the service from a side or back balcony, on stationary equipment, which gives a high, wide view of the whole nave and the long processional. Most services fall on Saturdays, with a 45 to 60 minute rehearsal on Friday afternoon. There is no church parking, so guests use the street or public lots, and the building is alcohol-free; your wedding reception will be elsewhere. Keep the day open-armed for others too, since many groups use the building on weekends.

Weddings are mainly for members and friends of ELPC; non-member weddings are very rare, so speak with a pastor after Sunday worship first.
Plan several premarital meetings with your minister.
Ask the coordinator for the photography timeline, and plan wedding day parking for guests.
