Old South Church in Boston is the perfect venue for your wedding, whether you prefer the exuberant splendor of the Sanctuary or the gothic beauty of our stone Chapel. Our location in the heart of Back Bay provides easy access to nearby hotels and restaurants, and the convenience of public transportation. For wedding photos, the Boston Public Garden is a short walk and the Boston Public Library is steps away.
In keeping with Old South’s legacy of inclusivity, anyone is welcome to get married here. Nonmembers, nonbelievers, straight or gay, marrying for the first time or another time around – we are happy to help you make your commitment to each other.
We happily accomodate religious, nonreligious, interreligious, ecumenical, and other types of weddings. Couples work with our Wedding Outreach Minister, who offers premarital counseling and assistance in forming and shaping the service. If you have your own officiant, we are happy to have them co-officiate with our Wedding Outreach Minister.
Music for the ceremony is coordinated by one of Old South’s organists, and chosen in consultation with them. Vocal and instrumental soloists can add great beauty to a wedding ceremony. The organist likewise coordinates the hiring of any additional musicians, and is happy to provide more information upon request.
Start times for Saturday weddings are between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Sunday afternoon start times are between 3:00 and 5:00 PM. The wedding rehearsal is usually held a day or two before the wedding. We are happy to host weddings on other days of the week, schedule permitting.
Our venue costs $2,900 with an upfront deposit of $750. This is a comprehensive fee which includes:
We offer a reduced rate for weekday weddings and Fridays before noon.

In the wake of the recent murders of innocent people of Asian descent in the city of Atlanta, Old South Church in Boston states unequivocally that racism, and racist violence are an affront to God, a violation of this nation's highest ideals, and sin of the most atrocious kind.
As we begin 2021 we wanted to share again each new member’s photo and bio so that if you see them pop up in the comments during online worship, or at a church program, (and eventually, dear GOD, when we meet in person) you’ll know them a bit better.
