Weddings — Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church

The sanctuary aisle, balcony and stained glass

The room does half the work.

Stone tracery, a vaulted ceiling, and light coming through glass that has been in these windows for a century. Photographers love this room. So do grandmothers.

We marry members and non-members alike. Our pastor officiates, or your own officiant is welcome with our blessing. Premarital conversation is offered to every couple and required for those married by our clergy.
