We’ve chosen the First Unitarian Church of Chester, the historic "Old Stone Church," for our wedding ceremony.

The 1845 building is located in Chester's notable "Old Stone Village," and on the National Register of Historic Places.


From the official Chester Town website:
"Chester is a quaint New England town with a population of 3,044...Chester offers opportunities for bicyclists, boating enthusiasts, great restaurants, comfortable B& Bs, interesting shops, including many antique stores, lovely art galleries, and a tranquil atmosphere for those who are looking for a quiet respite."

The delightful Rev. Telos Whitfield is the Minister of this warm Unitarian Universalist congregation, and she will be officiating our ceremony. She will be meeting with us four times before the wedding to craft our ceremony.

Chris and I were embraced by the small parish, and we've been making the trip to Chester most weekends to attend service. They are a kind, expressive congregation and I thoroughly enjoy their company.

In addition, the church is quite lovely! Carefully crafted stained glass windows line the walls of the sanctuary. A small wooden spiral staircase descends into the cozy parish hall. And, it already feels like home. I feel blessed that we can have our ceremony in a place we enjoy so much.
