First United Methodist Church of Winter Park

Our wedding on August 14 was held at the First United Methodist Church of Winter Park and it was so perfect in every way. We both new that when planning our wedding, that we could only wish to be married in a church. It was very important to us, as a couple. Then, we really needed to find a church close to our reception location (Winter Park Racquet Club). The Reverend Rideout was so great to work with and spend time with. The church coordinator (Diane) was such a great soul to work with...she also knew her wedding operations!!!! Fantastic! Top top this, as we did book the church completely site-unseen (we live in Colorado), when we arrived the week before the wedding, the Reverend walked us to the Chapel that we would use for our ceremony...we both just stood in silence. It was so beautiful! the Sanctuary is GORGEOUS too...but the Chapel was breathtaking and perfect for our vows. It was intimate, it seated approx. 75 people and the chapel did not need any decor to speak of. They even placed candles floating above each of the pew's. It was beautiful and meaningful to us. My husband has mentioned a few times how perfect our wedding was. Thank you to the church and its staff, for working with us and fulfilling our one day that we will always remember.

They do not require you to be a member to have your wedding in their beautiful church. It looks a lot like Knowles Chapel. They don't allow isle runners are rose petals on the isle. However the church is so beautiful it does not require much decor. Everyone at the church is really nice and not pushy on religion. Their wedding coordinator Diane is really nice and was really helpful throughout the planning process.

This is my family's church, the First United Methodist Church of Winter Park. It is so beautiful and I always knew that I wanted to get married there. The man that I have known since I was a little girl also married us, which was perfect as he did such a sentimental and personalized ceremony.
