Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Unitarian Universalist Church of Meadville, Meadville

A wedding at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Meadville happens in a red brick Greek Revival meeting house facing Diamond Park downtown, with a columned portico out front. Those columns and the steps beneath them are a natural first stop for wedding photos, and the park across the street gives your photographer and videographer open green space for portraits right after the ceremony.

The congregation welcomes couples of every background, religion, sexual orientation and gender, and aims to help you plan a wedding ceremony that reflects your bond and your beliefs. The sanctuary holds up to 299 guests. Pews are split by two aisles into a center and two side sections, with a dais and pulpit at the front, so pick your aisle early and let your videographer know where the processional will run. The sanctuary is rented as a sacred space, together with restrooms in the Parish House a few steps away.

Next door, the Parish House has rooms you can apply to use, including a lounge and dining room with a kitchen pass-through and a living room, which can suit a small gathering after the ceremony. A larger reception is better planned at another venue. There's no air conditioning in the sanctuary, which is worth remembering on a July wedding day. Parking is on the street around Main Street, Chestnut Street and Diamond Park, and most spaces are metered on weekdays.

• Contact the church office to check availability, then submit the rental application.
• Read the building use policy and guidelines before you book.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines in the sanctuary.
