Weddings at St. Andrew

When two people stand before God and  their families during their marriage ceremony, it is a defining moment.  No matter what happens in the future, this event will effect the rest of  their lives.

We at St. Andrew consider weddings  both a privilege and a responsibility; it’s a privilege to share a  couple’s most sacred moment, but we also take seriously our  responsibility to support and equip every couple for the challenges  ahead.

St. Andrew offers a beautiful  atmosphere in a contemporary country church setting for your wedding  day. Located just outside of the town of Sonoma, our architectural  award-winning facility, which was built on six gently sloping acres, is  situated to allow an abundance of natural light to flow throughout the  building. We invite you to come visit us and see for yourself why so  many couples have chosen St. Andrew for their wedding day.

How big is the church?
The seating capacity of our sanctuary is 260.
The sanctuary aisle is 27′ in length and 5′ in width.
We have 10 pews on each side of the aisle.

Please contact our church office for the current wedding fee schedule.

This wedding fee covers the following services:

  • The minister, for his services during the ceremony, rehearsal, and premarital counseling.
  • The organist/pianist,  for her general services and preparation (special circumstances  requiring additional preparation will be charged hourly. Any time over 4  hours will be billed hourly).
  • The Church Wedding Coordinator,  for her general services and resources. This includes but is not  limited to consulting over the phone and in person; and attendance at  your rehearsal and wedding from beginning to end. Any time over 4 hours  will be billed hourly.
  • The use of the sanctuary for the ceremony
  • Normal custodial service
  • A marriage seminar (you will be glad that you attended).

A deposit is due at the time of booking. All but  $50 is refundable if the plans are canceled at least six weeks prior to  the ceremony date. The balance is to be fully paid 30 days before your  ceremony.

It is recommended that you reserve  your date at least 6 months in advance for best availability. Please  contact our office at (707) 996-6024 to discuss availability, fees  and/or schedule a visit.
