There are three main venues from which to choose when you are planning such an event: the traditional church wedding/church hall venue, the wedding chapel/on-site reception hall option, or the separate location idea.

A clergy can also be provided, but you can request to use your own as well, in which case you would be responsible for the additional payment to the selected person. This option can be as all inclusive or as hands on as you wish it to be; choose to be in one the planning and the detail or choose just to show up in your formal duds and enjoy a stress free day.
For those who wish to stick with the traditional church ceremony but want the freedom of choice in things that can and cannot be done at the church hall, some will choose to travel to a different location for the after party following a church union. In this case, the aforementioned option of the chapel/event room can be chosen, but only the wedding reception hall will be used. There will be price packages that pertain to this option at most all establishments that specialize in wedding events.
