Planning Your Wedding at Unity


Wedding ceremonies at Unity Church are available to pledging and non-pledging members and to non-members.

Beginning to Plan
The church Sanctuary will seat between 350 to 400 guests. The Ames Chapel is suitable for weddings with 100 guests or less.

If you wish to see the church, please contact Julie Handberg, Church Wedding Coordinator, to schedule a time.

Booking Your Ceremony
To book a date for your ceremony, you may call the church wedding coordinator. Initially, the church schedule will be checked to ensure that no other wedding or church event is booked on that date. A non-refundable deposit of $100 will officially reserve the date for you, as well as the rehearsal time. In addition, a few forms will need to be completed.

Most weddings at Unity Church are booked at least 12 months in advance. However, many dates remain open, so you are encouraged to call even if your planning time is less than a year.

A Minister to Officiate
Arrangements may be made through the Church Wedding Coordinator to have a Unity Church minister officiate at your ceremony. If our ministers are unavailable, you will be given a list of ordained Unitarian Universalist clergy whom you may contact. If you wish to have a non-Unitarian Universalist clergyperson officiate, the Unity Church ministers will be asked for their approval.

What the Church Provides
Your wedding package includes the use of the Sanctuary or Ames Chapel and two dressing rooms available for the wedding party. Five hours of church time are included, one hour of which may be used for the rehearsal. Candlelabras with candles are provided and will be lit by church staff around 20 minutes before the ceremony begins.

The services of the Music Director as organist/pianist are not part of the wedding package, but may be added.

A Reception at the Church
The Parish Hall and kitchen facilities are available for a reception for 150 or fewer guests. You may arrange for a caterer. Once your wedding has been booked with the church, please contact Julie Handberg , Church Wedding Coordinator, for more information.
