Central Congregational UCC is a wonderful venue for your wedding. Our Sanctuary is the perfect setting for your special day, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, seating for 350 people, and a new state-of-the-art audio system. Our location in North Druid Hills provides easy access to hotels and restaurants on Clairmont Road and in Downtown Decatur.

For wedding photos, our Memorial Garden is the perfect spring time setting. We’re also a few short miles away from Agnes Scott College campus and the Lullwater Preserve at Emory University.

Following our Open and Affirming Covenant, we welcome all couples to get married here!

Couples work with one of our ministers, who will provide help in creating your service and ceremony. We are happy to work with your officiant if you have one.

Music for weddings at Central is coordinated by our Director of Music. In addition to the piano and/or organ, vocalists and musicians can add another layer of beauty to your wedding ceremony. Our Director of Music will work with you and can help arrange the hiring of singers and musicians, or work with a musician of your choice.

Weddings at Central can start on Saturday between 10:30 AM and 5:00 PM. Sunday weddings can start between 2:30 PM and 5:00PM.

Ideally, wedding rehearsals will be held a day or two before the wedding.

The Sanctuary seating capacity is about 350 and the space comes equipped with microphones connected to speakers that can be used by officiating clergy, speakers, musicians, and others. Hearing aids connected to this system are also available for the hearing impaired. The sanctuary has both a pipe organ and a grand piano/ A tape recorder is also available for audio taping of the event through the sound system. The Sanctuary is an excellent venue for weddings, concerts, memorial services, and large meetings.

The Fireplace Room is an informal space adjoining the sanctuary with windows overlooking the Memorial Garden and seats up to 30 persons. There is a room divider that can be used to separate this room from the sanctuary, but no sound system or musical instrument is available for this space. The Fireplace Room can be a comfortable setting for smaller meetings as well as study and discussion groups.

The Fellowship Hall seats about 150 persons and may be used for brunches, luncheons, dinners, receptions and/or celebrations, or as a meeting room. This room is adjacent to the kitchen, separated by a wall with an entry door and “garage door” style metal roller shades to allow food to be passed through or served from the kitchen. The metal shades are closed unless the kitchen is in use. There are chairs and rectangular tables that seat ten each available to be set up.  There is a spinet piano that can be used, and electrical outlets for audio-visual equipment which is not provided. Set up and take down of the tables and chairs can be done by the group renting the Fellowship Hall or for an additional fee, Central’s custodial staff or service can do this.

The Commons is the open area connecting the Fellowship Hall and office wing to the Sanctuary. Smaller than the Fellowship Hall, it has large windows overlooking both the Memorial Garden in the back and the main entrance area with pond and surrounding gardens. The walls of the Commons comprise Centrals art gallery, with displays of local artist’s works. This area is ideal to host small brunches, luncheons, dinners and reception or celebration gatherings. About 40 persons can be comfortably seated and about 50 if tables are not set up.
