If you are looking for a wedding setting with country charm,
come to The Little Brown Church built between 1860-1864.
We provide the church, minister and wedding hostess, and
can arrange for witnesses if needed, an organist, and if
desired, a soloist.
All wedding ceremonies are approximately 15 minutes in
length with slight variations in length due to the uniqueness
of the Pastor's words of encouragement, the number of
persons in the wedding party or the inclusion of one or two
solos. We do require weddings with over 50 people in
attendance to reserve the church for at least one hour to
insure there will be an adequate amount of time for guests
to be seated and to allow time for the possibility of
additional photographs.
There will be no same sex marriages at The Little Brown
Church. We are an old country Church and prefer to remain
as such. Please understand that we harbor no malice
toward, nor wish harm upon anyone. The message we are
receiving from the gay community is that we should accept
them for whom they are. We would appreciate the same
courtesy being extended to us.
