Our Facilities – Rentals

Weddings and Services of Union
At First Church we rejoice in the union of all loving couples. Our sanctuary offers a lovely setting for services. It is best to schedule your wedding date six months in advance to ensure the availability of the sanctuary, and possibly a keyboardist and custodial staff. Due to the number of requests, not all services for non-members can be accommodated. Other UU churches and/or clergy may be recommended.
Musical Concerts and Recitals
First Church’s Sanctuary has superior acoustics. Thus it has been one of the home venues for the Linton Chamber Music Series for more than two decades. In addition, it is the practice venue for Cincinnati’s May Festival Chorus. Now with its newly installed high-tech A/V system with internet and YouTube access, First Church is sought after by all music genres.
