Weddings for all Loving Couples
Host your wedding in this beautiful, spacious and historic Sanctuary. Whether you are planning a traditional service or wish to create a unique ceremony, you will feel at home in this spiritual setting that respects and welcomes interfaith and non-traditional couples. You do not need to be a member of this or any congregation to hold your wedding here. Our ministers will help you craft a service that speaks to your own traditions, or you may provide your own clergy. A beautiful organ, grand piano, and space for alternative music will complete your service.
