Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Central Presbyterian Church, Chambersburg

A wedding at Central Presbyterian Church places you on Memorial Square in the center of Chambersburg, in a church whose steeple is a landmark on Lincoln Way. The church even shares a photo of a bride and groom outside on its own website, and that front entrance on the square is the place for your wedding photos as you leave. Inside the sanctuary, Tiffany windows add color to the room, and a three-manual Casavant pipe organ with about 2,000 pipes sits in two chambers on either side of the chancel.

That organ is a gift for your wedding video. A processional on a real pipe organ sounds wonderful on film, and the chancel, framed by the organ chambers, is where you'll stand for the vows during your wedding ceremony. Ask your photographer and videographer to look at how the daylight comes through the Tiffany windows at your ceremony time. The church also has a Garden Worship Center, used for its contemporary service, and other rooms that can be requested through the church.

Central shares its facilities for requests that fit its policies. You request a room or the sanctuary with the church's Facility Request Form, and the details on rental are in its Facility Use Policies and Fees document. Start there, then call the church office with questions about weddings, music and dates. Parking downtown takes planning on a wedding day, so check the church's parking page.

• Fill out the Facility Request Form and read the facility use policies.
• Ask about the organ and an organist for your ceremony.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines in the sanctuary.
