First Presbyterian Church - Spirit of the City

Weddings

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

Your wedding should be one of the happiest days of your life, and our prayer is that we can help make that happen. We do ask that you remember that a wedding is a special worship service for God’s blessing on a couple as they start their lives together.

First Presbyterian Church does allow both members and non members to have weddings in our facilities. Our Sanctuary, which is over a hundred years old, will seat up to 500 people. It does not contain a center aisle but features two main aisles with central seating. There are 2 candelabras in the Sanctuary which you are welcome to use and two containers for floral arrangements. For smaller weddings (60 or less) Towers Chapel is a beautiful alternative.  Click here to go to our Weddings Gallery.

You may use our church organist/pianist or provide your own musician. Please let us know when booking your wedding if you would like to use our staff so that the date can be verified with our musicians. Please note that prerecorded music is not allowed in our Sanctuary or Chapel.

We have two different areas that are appropriate for a reception. Covenant Hall holds 150 people (standing) and seats approximately 80 with tables and chairs. Fellowship Hall is much larger and can seat approximately 120 comfortably. NO alcohol is allowed on the church property at any time.

Special thanks to Dan Harris Photo Art for providing most of the wedding pictures in the gallery.

Please make an appointment with Leah Smith, our office manager, if you would like to tour our facilities and receive more information (including our fees and wedding application). She can be reached at 904-354-8439 ext. 111.
