A truly amazing experience

We changed our wedding date three times and finally tied the knot on 05/08/2021. Drew was great and always responsive regarding any questions we had. Pastor Megan Smith, wow, what an incredible person. I feel so blessed to have had her marry us. Thank you for making our day that much more special!

Such an amazing place

This church is everything. Pastor Laurie is simply the best. This church is not only breathtaking but you feel the Holy Spirit as soon as you walk in those doors. You feel the love of Christ in every single person you converse with. They allow you to truly customize your ceremony and even allowed us to do a glass unity ceremony!

Lovely church and people.

I fell in love with this historic church, everything about it was perfect. They decorated it so beautifully for christmas that I was in awe. The music was great and the singers (which I didn't notice were up their until after I saw the photos) Pastor Megan is a lovely women and she knew her stuff. She gave us great advice when we did our wedding counseling. She was very accommodating when we had to change our rehearsal date, incorporating some of our traditions into our wedding. Pastor Megan is very quick to reply so you have no worries with her.

The staff at Coral Gables UCC couldn't have been kinder with their time. We worked directly with Pastor Laurie, Shanna, Renee and Alex throughout the entire planning process. They were always happy to accommodate our needs. We are truly blessed!

Beautiful historic church. We have family history at CGCUCC so it was especially significant to us but to anyone not familiar with this church it is definitely a beautiful place to get married. Reverand Milan was wonderful!
