We welcome your inquiries about getting married at Christ Church. Both the main church sanctuary and the chapel are beautiful settings for weddings. The sanctuary holds 450 people, and the more intimate chapel accommodates 120. We marry members of the community who are not parishioners of Christ Church and look forward to helping you plan your ceremony.

Guidelines

The marriage requirements are few. We do take seriously, however, our sacramental responsibilities to prepare and support couples as they get ready to make a life-long commitment to one another. We ask that the couple meet with the priest for three pre-marital counseling sessions to discuss and reflect upon their upcoming vows.

One member of the couple must be a baptized Christian, according to the rules of the Episcopal Church. We hope couples in the Needham area will worship at Christ Church before and after their wedding.

Making arrangements

Please call the church office at 781-444-1469 or e-mail to inquire about wedding planning and dates.  The Parish Administrator will set up an introductory meeting between you and one of our clergy. You will have the opportunity to discuss your needs and receive answers to any questions you may have. Once you decide to get married at Christ Church, one of our clergy will meet with you and your fiance for pre-marital counseling and planning of the wedding service.
