Weddings

The wedding ceremony is not only a significant event for the bride and groom and their families, it is also a service of worship in which the church celebrates marriage as a gift of God. As such, it is the responsibility of the Session of the Church to ensure that wedding services are conducted in a manner appropriate to the worship of God.

Due to the high demand for our facilities, weddings here are reserved for First Presbyterian Church members of six months or longer only. Members who would like more information about wedding services may contact Caren Loftin at 704.927.0254 or cloftin@firstpres-charlotte.org.  To inquire about becoming a member of First Presbyterian Church, please contact our Membership Development Coordinator, Sarah Price, at 704.927.0241 or sprice@firstpres-charlotte.org.
