First Parish Church Unitarian Universalist

This facility is well-maintained & historical - beautiful for a wedding - but it was VERY difficult to conduct business with the people . First: They were extremely pushy about getting our non-refundable deposit (even though we had not even seen their building yet). Second: When we arranged to see the building, the administrator left early that day and got upset when someone else showed us the building and took our check (which they cashed within a week). Third: When we went back to meet with the minister, there was a gaudy-looking pipe organ in the front & blocking several front pews. The minister claimed to know nothing about it, so we called the church administrator and were told it would be moved before the wedding. When we arrived for the rehearsal, the organ was still there blocking several front pews. The minister still claimed to be clueless and gave us the Music Director's number. When we called him, he said that he had been told to get an organ & put it there, and that it could not be moved by the next day. So we had to alter the seating for our guests and the positions of the bridesmaids at the front. Fourth: The minister's required "welcome" in our ceremony was more of an advertisement for their "liberal congregation" and facility that they rent out for "those without a church home."

Unless you don't mind a lot of difficulties with your wedding facility, do NOT rent this facility!
