Weddings

 

First Central's sanctuary is a beautiful space for weddings. Completed in 1921, it has 3 large stained glass windows above the choir loft, as well as stained glass windows throughout the sanctuary.  The sanctuary seats 600 guests.

We also have an intimate courtyard with a fountain for small weddings, and an outside patio that seats approximately 100 guests.  Contact the church for details about using those spaces.

Our Aeolian-Skinner organ is well-known in the area.  A harpsichord, as well as piano, is also available.
