Weddings at

Henrietta United Church of Christ


Henrietta United Church of Christ is happy to offer its facilities to couples of all faiths or no church
affiliation for weddings that are designed according to their own beliefs and preferences. Because of
the heavy schedule of our pastors, we recommend that couples who are not affiliated with this church
use the services of Rev. Dr. Jack Porcello, who can perform the ceremony in our facilities. He can be
contacted at (585) 324-0230 or through his Website at www.ourfellowship.org/joyful.html.
The sanctuary
Our attractive sanctuary is simply adorned and seats
up to 225 people (more with additional chairs in the
back).
Two pews near the front (one on each side) have been
shortened to accommodate wheelchairs.
A pair of candelabras is available at no extra charge
(fourteen colonial style candles need to be provided
by the couple).
An organ and an electronic piano, played by our
organist, can provide a variety of music.
A CD player may be played through our sound system.
A hearing loop with receivers is available for the
hearing impaired.
If an aisle runner is used, it should be 50 in length.
Accommodations for the wedding party
A lounge with mirrors is available for the bridal party to gather in.
A curtained classroom is available for the grooms party to gather in.

Our social hall, adjoined by a kitchen, is 46 X 38.
12 folding tables and 96 folding chairs are available.
