The Trinity United Church, New California,
offers an historic and beautiful Sanctuary for a country wedding.
It can provide seating for up to 125 people,
a paved parking lot, a stair chair lift for those needing assistance
to the Sanctuary or the Basement.

  Couples need not be members of either congregation, but should desire a
  spritual marriage ceremony in which God's blessing is sought.
The Ceremony
  There is a great deal of flexibility to choose music,
  prayers and reading that reflect your special love and
  commitment for one another. You may also request the
  assistance of a music director, who can suggest suitable music
  for the proccessional, at the signing of the register and
  for the recessional. The wedding service will nomally take
  30-40 minutes to complete including the signing of the register.
Those who may officiate
  The Rev. Olav Kitchen is the official clergy for the Ruthven Pastoral Charge
in Kingsville.
  All services at Olinda-Ruthven United Church, Ruthven and Trinity United Church
  (New California), including all weddings,
  come under his authority.
  Obviously the minister is the usual officiant at all marriage services.
  Nevertheless, some couples will have family or personal friends who are
  clergy and it is natural that they would want them to participate.
  They are certainly welcome to assist the minister in the service.
