Weddings and Holy Unions

A Wedding at First Congregational ChurchAt First Congregational Church of Long Beach, we affirm equal marriage rights for all couples regardless of gender. All couples are welcome into our beautiful, historic sanctuary as a setting for ceremonies both large and small.

One of the finest examples of Florentine Renaissance architecture, the First Congregational Church of Long Beach's building was dedicated in 1914 and declared an historic landmark in 1979. From the many lavish stained glass windows - each with a history of its own - to the breathtaking processional music announced from the 68-rank Moller pipe organ, your ceremony will be distinguished with exquisite beauty and tradition.

For your convenience, our package includes:

  • Minister
  • Organist
  • Wedding Coordinator
  • Rehearsal
  • Candelabra
  • Unity Candle
  • Sound System

The fee for wedding ceremonies is $1500.

Our wedding coordinator will conduct your rehearsal and assist you with all the details at the church. We provide two comfortably appointed changing rooms and many lovely spots for memorable photographs.

Receptions can be held on site in Patterson Hall for an additional fee.

Please feel free to call the church office to schedule an appointment to see the sanctuary.
