The Pastor of the Blue Point Congregational Church will only perform weddings of members and their families.  However, in the information above, you will find a list of Ministers that will preside over weddings at Blue Point Congregational Church.  If you are unable to secure a minister through that list, please let me know and I will be happy to help you.  

The Blue Point Church is proud to have an Austin Organ (a pipe organ) as its primary source of music.  Unlike most churches, the Blue Point Congregational Church was built to accommodate the organ.  Most churches are built and then a place is found for the organ.  Not so with this organ and church.  From its high ceiling, to its angled front wall, everything was built to enhance the sound of the organ.  

Our Organist will be prepared to play appropriate music as your guests gather before your wedding, as needed during the ceremony, and as your guests leave.  The organist will also be present at your wedding rehearsal.  Please contact our organist as soon as possible to discuss the music selections.  Outside musicians may only be used at the discretion of the church organist. 

The Church building will be decent and in good order for your wedding rehearsal and your wedding ceremony.  It will be appropriately heated in the winter.  We’re sorry that we cannot provide air conditioning in the summer.)  In any season, pitchers of cold water will be available to the wedding party and guests.  Restrooms are available on the lower level.

We have a plain silver and a plain gold unity candle holder for you to use, if requested (candles not included).  For a nominal fee, I can also decorate the Sanctuary with the white pew bows and white lace bunting, pictured left, prior to your arrival at the rehearsal.  This in not included in the sanctuary fee and done by request only.  Please let me know if this is something you are interested in.  

The Church yard is also available to you, either for a receiving line as people leave the church, or for formal pictures in the church’s gardens after your wedding.  You will find the yard tidy and the lawn mowed.  (In the winter, snow will be appropriately removed!)  If there is any signage in front of the church promoting special church events, we will make every effort to have those signs discretely removed for your wedding.  

The Church’s social hall on the lower level is available to you to get ready for the ceremony, as a gathering-point for the wedding party before and/or after the ceremony, as well as for catered receptions. 

The sitting room off from the Narthex, pictured below, is also available for the bridal party to gather before the ceremony.

As the Wedding Coordinator for the Blue Point Congregational Church, I will be there for you during the months leading up to your wedding; at the rehearsal to share experiences from past weddings and assist the Pastor, as necessary; and of course, during the ceremony itself to assist the bridal party.  You have my assurance that I will do my best to help make your Wedding go as smoothly as possible.

For more information, please contact me via e-mail at weddingsbpc@bluepointchurch.org  You may also leave a message on the church answering machine 207-883-6540.  I will get the message on Friday evenings when I am in the office.  

I look forward to working with you.  ~ Jennifer Henry, Wedding Coordinator
