    Sometimes it seems that a modern wedding is just another show-biz spectacle. But for many, it remains a solemn and worshipful religious ceremony.
    Most churches expect that the decorations for a wedding will not overshadow the sanctuary’s religious symbols, and that music be appropriate for the setting. In some cases that means a ban on secular music during a wedding ceremony.
    Photographic lighting is often not permitted during the ceremony itself.
    If you are planning a church wedding, be sure you understand the church’s guidelines. You may be required to have the church’s wedding director present to supervise your use of the facilities, even if you have hired your own coordinator.
    Expect to work around the church’s own scheduled events when setting a time for your rehearsal.
