We are happy to explore with you the possibility of having your wedding at Emmanuel.

 

Clergy, staff, and volunteers will do all they can to make the day a blessed one.

Please bear in mind that Emmanuel is an active parish--not just a wedding venue. Your desire to be married in a sacred space tells us that you are committed to being members of this or another faith community.

​

The sacramental rite of marriage is available to couples regardless of their sexual orientation. Pronouns and other gendered language in the service found in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer is adapted for LGBTQ couples. In addition, supplemental liturgies have been developed and authorized for use throughout the Episcopal Church for LGBTQ couples and other couples who wish to use them.

Scroll down this page for links to a guide describing practices and customs for weddings conducted at Emmanuel, and to the request form that is the first step in the process of deciding whether your service is held here. While we are in the process of revising some of these guidelines and forms, these two items will serve as the entry point for you and your fiancé/e.
