It varies from church to church. Some pastors will allow it others won't.
I was married in a Pentecostal church before I became pentecost and it really shocked some people, because our pastor generally didn't perform weddings outside of church members.
Call and ask the churchs in your area. You can go to www.upci.org to find information about a church near you.

From my experience, most churches will let you getting married there, for a nice little fee, as long as you meet their "requirements". Most minister, preachers, pastors, etc. must meet with you and your soon to be spouse before hand. I have a few friends who go to pentecostal Churches and they wont marry anyone who has been divorced or had a child out of wed lock.

Except for Catholic churches, most churches will do weddings for a fee going to their church. If you are not a member of their congregation, then a bit higher fee then those are members. UP churches, from my experience in years past, will still do weddings but that is up to the minister. They are a bit more reserved for their own members of congregation. I have been photographing weddings for years and have seen many couples who do not belong to a particular church haing no problem in having weddings done at the church of their choice. Call way in advance though. Remember, their members takes presidence.
Good luck =)

in the 1970's, i replaced right into a member of UPCI. As a clean convert, everybody replaced into style and loving in direction of me. in spite of the undeniable fact that, any member who deviated from UPCI's gown code, visited a wellbeing care provider for a scientific difficulty, watched a information solid on television, or maybe puzzled a doctrinal coaching, replaced into publically reprimanded and accused of being in league with devil. no longer all congregations have been this radical yet some have been and that i replaced right into a member of one among those radical team. i replaced right into a youthful lady then however the scars are deep. I left the church even in spite of the undeniable fact that the minister affirmatively predicted that God would kill me for leaving. That i think of, are the characteristics of a unfavorable cult.
