First United conducts weddings for all persons associated with the congregation. We also welcome inquiries from those outside the congregation.
First also has a long history of conducting same-sex marriages. We began conducting such services in 1992 as Holy Unions, prior to the legalization of same-sex marriage in Canada.
All arrangements for a wedding service are made through the Minister of First United Church and approved by the Church Council. If you would like to have another clergy person officiate or assist, that can be accommodated.
We believe that each ceremony is a unique celebration, and so couples will meet with the minister to create a ceremony that is personal and meaningful.
For more information, please contact the office administrator at office@firstunitedchurchottawa.org or the minister at brian.cornelius@firstunitedchurchottawa.org.
