First Central Weddings

A SANCTUARY FOR EVERY COUPLE

Your Wedding. Your Way.

HISTORIC SANCTUARY

Say “I do” in a space that’s grand, beautiful, and full of history. Light streams through stained-glass windows, the aisle is long enough for any train, and the sanctuary seats up to 600 guests. Whether your wedding is intimate or large, this timeless setting creates the perfect backdrop for your celebration.

INSPIRED SOUND

From classical to contemporary, our gifted organist and pianist bring your ceremony to life. Performances are available on piano, harpsichord, or our stunning 61-rank Aeolian-Skinner organ. Planning meetings ensure the music perfectly complements your ceremony and sets the tone for your day.

INCLUSIVE CEREMONIES

You do not need to be a member to have your wedding at First Central. We welcome all couples, including LGBTQ+ weddings, with open arms. Our experienced ministers will craft a ceremony that reflects your love story, values, and vision. First Central is an Open & Affirming congregation, dedicated to making every couple feel celebrated and supported.

STRESS-FREE PREPARATION

We make planning easy with a dedicated church liaison to guide you through rehearsal and ceremony day. Use our gathering rooms and parlor for wedding party prep or photos, and enjoy full access to the sanctuary. Custodial services and building use are included, so you can focus on celebrating.
