Weddings at First†Metropolitan United Church

A wedding...one of life's foremost celebrations! We would like to celebrate with you on this sacred occasion! In the presence of family and friends, a bride and groom rejoice in the God-given love they share, and call upon God's blessing as they begin their new life as husband and wife.

First†Metropolitan has a beautiful, newly renovated historical sanctuary, offering a catherdal atmospher for your wedding. Constructed in 1915 of red brick in the perpendicular Gothic style, it is registered as a heritage building. The interior is richly adorned with wooden carved pews that will seat 500, a central aisle, a hand-hewn Chancel, and original artifacts, all done in soft tones of burgundy, sage and heather. Expansive stained glass windows provide wonderful natural lighting. The front is spacious with an open wooden cross in modified Celtic style. When the service is over, our large wooden front doors offer excellent photo opportunities when the wedding party leave the building.

Experienced ministers will guide the preparation and officiate at your special ceremony, with attention to details and personal requests. Our gifted music director provides a wonderful range of selections for the four-manual Allen organ and/or grand piano.
