Weddings At Emmanuel Church
Joyfully welcoming of destination weddings and ceremonies of all faiths
Celebrating love in all its forms
Congratulations!
We are honored that you're considering Emmanuel Church as the sacred setting for your wedding. Our historic sanctuary, caring staff, and deep spiritual traditions make for a meaningful and memorable celebration of your love.
We have a wedding administrator who will guide you through the steps of scheduling your wedding and all the details that go along with the church’s portion of your great event!
Built in 1902, our present church building is an early example of the work of noted American architect Ralph Adams Cram. His churches are famous for their Gothic revival style and attention to detail. Emmanuel Church is on the national register of historic places. The church comfortably seats 280 people.

Photo Opportunities
Emmanuel Church offers a beautiful backdrop for your wedding photos, both inside and out.
Our historic sanctuary, with its stained glass windows, soaring ceilings, and warm natural light, provides a stunning setting for formal portraits and quiet moments.
Outside, our charming stone architecture, gardens, and tree-lined grounds offer elegant options for candid and group shots alike.
Prelude & Ceremony Music
Music is a meaningful and memorable part of your wedding ceremony at Emmanuel Church.
We are proud to offer the services of our talented organist/pianist, who is experienced in traditional, sacred, and contemporary wedding music. Couples are welcome to work with our musician to select processional, recessional, and service music that reflects their style and the sacred nature of the day.
If you’re planning to bring in additional musicians—such as a string quartet, vocalists or a self procured organist—we are happy to collaborate to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Please note:
- All outside musicians must be coordinated through your wedding planner, who will communicate any needs with our wedding administrator.
- Use of our musician is included in the wedding fee
We’re here to support you in creating a beautiful and reverent musical experience.
Personal Music
Please do not hesitate to talk with the wedding coordinator about meaningful songs or alternate musicians that you desire to have on your special day!
