OUR WEDDING STAFF
- The staff of Old Otterbein Church will work with you to arrange
and carry out your wedding plans. Because of the historic
nature of our organ and our buildings, the services of this
congenial, helpful, and professional team must be used.
The Pastor - At
Old Otterbein, we view marriage as a covenental and worship
experience. The pastor of Old Otterbein Church, will
work with you in the organizing and prepare your marriage
ritual. We offer pre-marital counseling as desire;
either informal conversations or a more intensive
program. All weddings will be conducted or officiated over by
the pastor of Old Otterbein or designee.
The Organist -
The Old Otterbein organ was built in 1897 by Henry Nieman and is one of
only five organs that remain today. In your wedding folder
you will find a list of approved organists that we
recommend for your consideration. It is up to you to
contact them to check their availability and their fee for
rehearsal and wedding service. Can you use your own
organist? Yes, as long as they are qualified to play a pipe
organ. Qualified means they have a degree in music with an
emphasis on organ and/or they are currently serving as an
organist in a local church. Permission for an outside
organist to play for your wedding is the responsibility of the
pastor.
