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.
