    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!

    Our wedding turned out great! We loved the venue and how the church made us feel like family. Shanna, their wedding coordinator, was very helpful and always was quick to respond to our questions. The sanctuary where the ceremony was held is so beautiful it gave our wedding the elegant and classic feel we were looking for. Our minister was Milan. We got so many compliments on how he conducted our ceremony! He made us feel very comfortable and he lead us through the entire thing without skipping a beat! :)

    This church was exactly what I was looking for! It has a cozy atmosphere which was perfect for my relatively small number of guests (~55 guests). Milan Kralik-Brown was my reverend and he was amazing. He is so sweet and was always available for any questions or concerns I had. Meeting with him was fun, and he was really great at the wedding rehearsal as well. I am so very happy that Milan was able to perform our wedding ceremony. He has been able to marry several of my family members and made us feel extra special. If you choose Coral Gables Congregational, be sure to request Milan! The ceremony fee is expensive, but Milan was so personable that it was worth it. We loved the special kiss!

    Pastor Milan conducted an unforgetable ceremony. Guests commented that he mad it so special that they will never forget it. Especially the kissing contest! Also, Chely (coordinator) is an amazing person to work with.

    There are many beautiful churches in South Florida and we chose CGCC for many reasons. We planned our wedding from out of state, so it wasn't going to be possible to do the pre marital counseling that many churches require. We also didn't belong to a church of our own and many churches require a letter to be married. It was important for us to be married in a church and we just happened to find this perfectly beautiful non denominational church to meet our requirements. Most of our correspondence was done by fax and mail, with the exception of meeting once in person with the pastor.

    The prices vary depending on the time and day of the ceremony. All music (which is live on the organ) and the rehearsal is included in the package. The church is beautiful as is, no decorations needed.

    Rev. Dr. Jerry Schumm was our wedding pastor and he has performed over 2,000 weddings! We were really happy with the way he did everything, he made us feel very comfortable. Just before the ceremony started, he came in the bridal room and sprayed breath spray into our mouths. It made me laugh and it took my mind off being nervous.

    The overall experience and ceremony was picture perfect.

    Our ceremony was at the Coral Gables Congregational Church. Beautiful church, which I decided not to decorate. I wanted the church to look natural and the pictures were beautiful. Pastor Guillermo Marquez-Sterling was so nice and so calm that he took my nerves away. He made us laugh when a laugh was needed and to some guests made them cry. The ceremony was beautiful, the message, in general the service was beyond what I expected. Thank you Pastor Guillermo. Highly recommend.
