You can rent the natural light-filled Lower Hall for your reception. If it is for a wedding which is taking place at Old First, the fee is discounted by $100. You have the use of the Hall from noon till midnight. You can use our folding tables and chairs, and you can use the kitchen. The Hall is not available on Friday nights. The church yard and the Upper Hall are presently unavailable.
We are in a long-term process of renovation, so the decor is "as is". We charge an up-front deposit for damages and refund the balance to you afterward. You must provide a clean-up crew to stay and help the Sexton take down the chairs, tables, and decorations.
We reserve your date when we receive your non-refundable deposit, which is then applied to your total fee. The balance is due one month before your event.
