Wedding Rentals

We are NOT accepting any wedding reservations at this time, but new policies are currently being drafted and this page will be updated with new and current information presently.  Inquiries and questions can be directed to weddings@henriettaucc.org.

Henrietta United Church of Christ is pleased to offer its facilities to couples for weddings that are designed according to their own beliefs and preferences. As an open and affirming congregation, we take delight in celebrating weddings for loving couples of all genders, gender identities, and sexual orientations.

The Sanctuary

  • The sanctuary is simply adorned and seats 225.
  • Additional chairs are available and two pews near the front have been shortened to accommodate wheelchairs. Our facility is completely handicapped accessible.
  • A pair of candelabras are available requiring fourteen colonial style candles. (Candles not provided)
  • It is expected that the HUCC pastor will be your officiant in this space.  Our pastor has the first right of refusal for any wedding held in our sanctuary.  If you wish to bring in someone else to officiate, permission will need to be granted and you’ll be expected to pay the full wedding package fee whether you use our pastor or not.
  • An organ and an electronic piano are available to be played by the church organist.
    • The HUCC organist has a first right of refusal.  It is assumed you’ll use the church organist if you are going to use the instruments in the church.  If you wish to bring in your own organist, you need to ask permission and you will be expected to pay the HUCC organist, whether you use him or not.
  • A hearing loop with receivers is available for the hearing impaired.
  • An aisle runner should be 50’ in length. (Runner not provided)

A library with mirrors is available where one party, typically the bride’s, can gather. A curtained classroom is also available for the second party.

dsc_0158   Narthex

  • A large and bright narthex is available for wedding guests and a receiving line.

Note on use of the Organ

  • The HUCC organist has first right of refusal for all weddings.  This means there is an expectation that you’ll use him rather than bringing someone else in.  If you wish to bring in another organist, you must request permission to do so.  If the organist agrees to allow a guest , you will still be expected to pay a fee to our organist.
