Weddings at Knox

Our sanctuary seats 300 people. There are changing rooms for the bride and bridesmaids as well as for the groom and attendants. We also have space available for a rehearsal dinner or reception. Our Northside House can accommodate up to 60 people for a sit-down meal. Up to 100 people can be accommodated for cake/coffee/champagne. This can be extended with the use of our patio and grounds.

Usage by Non-Members

Knox is happy to make its facilities available to Christian couples that cannot, for any reason, have their service in their home church. We require that both the invitation and the wedding bulletin or folder make clear that the service is performed through your pastor's congregation and that Knox is simply providing the facility. The statement frequently reads, "This is a service of ___________ Church being held in the sanctuary of Knox Presbyterian Church at 225 South Hill Ave., Pasadena, California".

• You bring your own pastor and follow the guidelines of your own congregation for your wedding.
  
• We talk with your officiating pastor and check his or her credentials.
  
• Our organist plays all services unless he is unavailable.
  
• If our organist is not available, we provide a list of approved substitutes.
  
• If recorded music is used, the couple provides all necessary equipment.

We have a candelabra and kneeling rail available for those couples that would like to use them. For the safety of the bride and guest, runners are not permitted in the sanctuary.

Facilities Use

Our Northside House can accommodate up to 60 people for a sit-down meal, served at the table; approximately 50 people served buffet style and up to 100 people for cake/champagne/coffee. This can be extended with the use of our patio and grounds. All events require a refundable security deposit and are charged hourly.

Included in the hourly rate are tables and chairs, if necessary, set up to your specifications and an onsite attendant. Hourly rates are $100 an hour for the use of our facility and equipment.

All weddings and/or receptions require a $500 deposit to reserve our facilities. A paid deposit guarantees the date. Deposits are refunded in full within 30 days of the event provided there has been no damage or unusual clean-up required. If this is the case, the appropriate amount of money will be deducted from the deposit.

Please note:

• The Northside House does not have air conditioning.
• We do not provide table linens.
• Dishes and flatware that we can provide serve a functional rather than an aesthetic need.
• A glass of champagne is permitted for a toast, otherwise alcohol is not allowed on the premises.
