The marriage of two people is a holy union. It begins with your desire to form a lasting, lifelong partnership with another person in God’s love, and continues throughout your lives as an unfolding process of intentional living and growing together. In marriage, each of you as an individual, and together as a couple, gradually transform and mature in God’s presence and image. Emmanuel supports and celebrates marriage equality and is happy to bless the faithful unions of any two people. 

Get to know Emmanuel! You do not have to be a member of this, or any, church to be married here, however, you may find that attending worship here is a good way to explore whether this is the place where you want your wedding to take place. The start of your married life together is a great time to join a community of faith. Worship on Sunday mornings at 8:30am in the Chapel, and at 10:30am in the Main Church.

Scheduling Weddings.  Weddings may be scheduled throughout the Church year except the penitential seasons of Advent and Lent, the week between Christmas and New Years, and the first week of the Easter season. We are able to schedule weddings with as little as a few months notice, but cannot commit to a date more than 18 months in advance.

Spaces for Weddings.  Emmanuel has two spaces suitable for weddings. Our main sanctuary seats 600 and is a glorious example of Gothic Revival architecture with several stained glass windows by Tiffany and LaFarge. For a more intimate ceremony, the Eccleston Chapel is an exquisite jewel-box space seating 30.
