The Day that Starts a Lifetime
There are few days in life that rival the joy and excitement of a wedding. At North Shore Congregational Church, we are thrilled to be a part of planning for your wedding, as well as helping you to set the foundations for a flourishing marriage in the years that follow.
Weddings are open to both members and non-members. The first step, for any wedding, is a preliminary meeting with one of our Ministers, during which we will explain our process for wedding planning, counseling, music and more. Contact us to check your date and schedule a meeting and a tour of our building.
Basic Wedding Policies and Details
Facilities
Seating
The Chapel seats up to 70 while the Sanctuary seats approximately 325 when completely full (250 on main level and 75 additional in balcony).
Dressing Rooms
The Bride and bridesmaids will be set up in the church library, allowing direct access to a small kitchen and the ladies bathroom. The Groom and groomsmen utilize the Friendship Lounge, that also includes a small kitchen.
Reception
There is space available in the church for reception activities. If such facilities are desired it should be addressed with the Minister.
Accessibility
All levels of North Shore Congregational Church are handicapped accessible. In order to best arrange seating in the Sanctuary, please let the Minister know in advance if this need is anticipated.
Ministerial Staff
Marriages at North Shore Congregational Church are to take place under the direction of one of the current Ministers on staff at the Church. The officiating Minister may allow the participation of other clergy in this service, but North Shore Congregational Church clergy will be the primary officiants at all weddings.
Worship Planning
It is always our goal that the service reflects the needs, preferences and personality of the couple. It is also expected, however, that the service will be appropriate for Christian faith and worship. For this reason, the officiating Minister must give final approval to the content of the service, including prayers, vows, readings, and music selections.
Counseling
In addition to helping to organize and host the wedding service, we see it as our responsibility to help couples foster strong foundations for the future of their marriage. With this in mind, premarital counseling with the officiating Minister is required for all couples being married in the church.
