Weddings

We welcome any couple desiring to marry

Plymouth Congregational church, United Church of Christ, welcomes any couple desiring to marry. Our beautiful Sanctuary can seat more than 500 people. Our historic church also offers a beautiful backdrop for photos of your special day.

Getting married at Plymouth Church

If you wish to have a Plymouth wedding, first check the availability of the church on the dates you are considering by contacting our Wedding Coordinator and Director of Music and Arts, Christopher Goodson 

Steps to schedule a wedding at Plymouth:

  1. Contact Christopher Goodson to check available dates

  2. Fill out the online Wedding Application Form

  3. Lock in your date by paying your deposit (via check or PayPal/ACH)

  4. Communicate any changes as your wedding date approaches

  5. About 3 months prior to your wedding, you will be contacted about the prenuptial pastoral consultations.

Pastoral services

A Plymouth pastor will be involved in all weddings in the church, as an officiant, through prenuptial pastoral consultations, or both. The Plymouth minister leads couples through marriage preparation sessions, when the partners have an opportunity to consider the meaning of marriage, examine personal expectations, ask questions, and share in wedding service planning.

We try to accommodate requests for other ministers to participate in wedding services at Plymouth Church. We highly encourage the involvement of a Plymouth pastor in your ceremony, but we are open to exploring your unique needs. Any non-Plymouth pastors will require approval from the Plymouth pastoral staff, including a consultation with the co-officiant.
