There are never open flames or lit candles in any building of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church.) This is more of a safety regulation than anything else. Those holding weddings in Church buildings are advised to use battery-powered candles or small electric lights for decorations. Those wishing to light a unity candle as part of the ceremony or reception are usually allowed to do so outside of the building.
The official rules regarding lit candles and open flames in Church buildings can be found in the Church Handbook of Instructions, Book 1, on page 182 (2006 version). This book is not available online, but a congregation leader would be able to show you the policy in their copy of the Handbook.
