wedding chapel

A small chapel suited for smaller, more intimate gatherings. It has beautiful stained glass windows with a seating capacity for 120 guests. It is a cozy, warm chapel with the comfort of love surrounding you.

 
Sanctuary

The Sanctuary has a seating capacity of 800, including the balcony area. However, the average wedding size is normally 200 - 300 guests. The setting is very traditional with a center aisle & four (4) side aisles. We have a magnificent pipe organ as well as a beautiful baby grand piano. The stained glass windows are stunning. The acoustics are exceptional. The FUMC Sanctuary is, indeed, a glorious place for a wedding.

SCHEDULE
Weddings are normally scheduled for Saturdays with the rehearsal on Friday evenings. We do not schedule weddings on Sundays, Holidays, or during the month of December.

WEDDING COORDINATOR
The staff will be happy to help you plan your event. We have a wedding coordinator that will work with you and/or your wedding planner to insure you have a wonderfully planned memory.
