Extremely easy to work with and flawlessly executed our ceremony. Lighting, music etc. all worked smoothly and everyone we worked with at the church was lovely and kind to us! Venue is beautiful and historic and serves as a stunning backdrop as well. We’re so glad we chose to get married here.

First Parish was a wonderful, historic, meaningful place for an amazing wedding ceremony. We appreciated everything about the church including the \"Black Lives Matter\" sign outside and the bells that were rung after our wedding ceremony was completed! The church coordinator, sexton, and musician were all very kind and helpful and made sure the entire things went off without a hitch!

We used FP for our ceremony for our June 18th 2022 wedding. We wanted to be married in a church by my (now) husband's family minister. We loved the history and interior of the sanctuary, but ultimately we chose FP because they were responsive, organized and we felt FP supported the causes that are important to us and their stance on social issues and inclusivity for all was key. Working with Hannah was great, my wedding planner even made the comment that this was the most organized church she ever dealt with. From a practical perspective, they have really good lighting (which is key for good photos), internet connectivity and a sound system that all worked without a flaw and are included, as is their technician who helped my planner and co. set up. We did our first look, vows and some photos in the garden, which was great because it is beautiful and fenced in and offered privacy in an otherwise busy downtown. Ringing the chapel bell was also a really lovely moment and a really fun way to end our ceremony.
