Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Westmont Presbyterian Church, Johnstown

Westmont Presbyterian Church on Luzerne Street has been part of the Westmont neighborhood above Johnstown for a hundred years, and a wedding there would join a congregation that loves music. The church holds a Sunday service at 10:15, hosts concerts and community events, and is handicapped accessible, which matters when grandparents are coming. For wedding photos, talk with your photographer and videographer about the front of the church and the neighborhood around it.

Weddings are not mentioned on the church's website, so the first thing to do is call the church office and ask whether it hosts wedding ceremonies, including for couples who are not members. If it does, ask about the sanctuary, music and who may officiate. The church has a minister of music and a strong music program that holds public classical and sacred concerts, so a church used to concerts may have good sound for your wedding video; ask what the space offers for a wedding videographer to film the vows without blocking guests.

As a PC(USA) congregation, Westmont Presbyterian has a Christian education program, a preschool and many volunteer groups. The church office is open on weekday daytimes and answers the phone at (814) 536-0796. Plan your wedding day questions before you call: date, guest count, rehearsal time and how long you would have the building.

• Call the church office to ask whether weddings are hosted and for whom.
• Ask about music and the minister of music.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines in the sanctuary.
