Weddings

 

Bookings for 2022 and 2023 are under way, subject to state and local recommendations for limiting the spread of the coronavirus. Any wedding canceled due to the COVID-19 outbreak will receive a full refund.

​

Fountain Street Church offers multiple venues for wedding ceremonies and receptions in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids. Our all-inclusive packages and decades of experience will simplify your venue planning process. While our historic building contains much of the Christian iconography and architectural complexity found in other churches, our institutional independence means that you are free to design the wedding experience of your dreams. There are no restrictions on who may officiate your wedding, no restrictions on the music that may be played or performed, and no specific premarital requirements.

​

All wedding packages include:

• Three on the wedding day to use at your discretion

• One-hour, onsite rehearsal the day before

• Services of our in-house wedding coordinator

• Services of our A/V and custodial staff

• Separate dressing rooms with nearby restrooms

• Marriage license preparation and mailing

• Aisle/altar candles

• Use of a grand piano

 

Our beautiful, neo-Romanesque sanctuary includes 1500+ theater-style seats, 10 stained-glass windows, two grand pianos, a five-manual pipe organ, and a stunning tree-of-life mural centered on an image of the living Jesus.

​

Our more intimate chapel, designed by famous Michigan architect Alden Dow and almost entirely preserved in its original form, includes individual seats for up to 140 guests, a Steinway grand piano, and a contemplative fabric mural backdrop.

​

Our social hall is a versatile space that will work perfectly for your reception -- or even a creatively planned ceremony. The space fits up to 128 seated or 400 standing. It includes tables and chairs, a grand piano, dual 14-foot projector screens, and ample natural light plus dimmable LED fixtures.

The following are available for very reasonable additional fees:

• Minister/officiant
