The Brookwood Premarital Mentoring process is required for all Couples desiring to be married at Brookwood and or by a Brookwood Pastor.
To start the premarital process you must be an engaged couple with a wedding date set and come to us with a minimum of 90 days before your wedding in order to have time to fulfill the requirements. Please understand that in some cases, if we have less time we will not be able to accommodate the timeline and you will not be able to hold your wedding at Brookwood, and we occasionally have a waiting list and may not be able to accommodate you within 90 days. The sooner you get involved with us the better.
Each couple must also be willing to agree with & sign the Brookwood Premarital Covenant. Each couple will have to fill out an online survey, meet with the Associate Care Pastor, and meet with a mentoring couple 6 to 8 times.
