First Church of Christ, Congregational, 1652 Overview

Located in the charming town of Farmington, the First Church of Christ offers a beautiful historic backdrop for your big day. Complete in the late 18th century, the Meetinghouse is not only a National Historic Landmark with a long and distinguished history, but also the ideal location for saying your “I do’s.” Share your first kiss as spouses in a pristine white interior that makes its deep red accessories pop, while historic finishes and expansive windows that welcome the natural light inside create a singular atmosphere for kicking off your married life together before God. Celebrate your union in the Sarah Porter Memorial within Amistad Hall, a beautiful space originally constructed in 1901. Hardwood floors, large windows, crown moldings, a warm fireplace, and elevated stage combine to create a welcoming setting for dining and dancing the night away. Amistad Hall also includes a reception area, library, and commercial kitchen ready to accommodate the caterer of your choice!
