First Parish Church is a beautiful place in which to be married. We celebrate from 30 to 50 weddings each year. If you would like to have your ceremony in our church, it is best to schedule as early as possible.

 

These are a few of the most commonly asked questions and answers about weddings here:

 

1. Do we marry non-members?

Yes.

 

2. Do we marry non-Congregationalists?

Of course. It is expected that at least one member of the couple be a committed Christian, since what we offer is a Christian wedding ceremony that includes prayers, scripture readings, a brief message, and sometimes a hymn. The marriage ceremony is a sacred service filled with joy and faith.

 

3. Do we offer a traditional or a contemporary wedding ceremony?

We incorporate the best of both. Most importantly, each couple gets the opportunity to personalize their ceremony through the selection of readings, music, and the readers.

 

4. How many times must the couple meet with the pastor?

Usually three. These sessions include pre-marital counseling and ceremony planning.

 

5. How do I schedule my wedding?

Please call the church office at (207) 363-3758 and speak to Norma Pease or Marj Stonemetz. The Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 2:00 pm.

 

6. Are there fees?

Yes. Norma and Marj will discuss this with you. There are fees for the use of the building, the minister, the organist, and a soloist, if you so choose.

 

7. Can you perform outdoor/offsite weddings?
Yes. See our Outdoor/Offsite Wedding page for more information. [CLICK HERE]
