Ok, let’s start with the first visit. The entire wedding team made us feel welcome and much more excited for our big day. Throughout the entire process, our contact point was Leslie and she made everything so easy! I’m in college and between finals and a wedding, I was stretched super thin. There was some sort of pull that made us choose this church after only visiting one location. It had a quaint feeling to it and being a country girl, I always dreamed of getting married in an older white church. Fast forward to premarital counseling (which is a requirement if you’re to be married by Rev. Mary), we spoke about many things and she made my husband and I feel so at ease. Rev. Mary has a calming spirit about her and it’s been so long since we’d felt that. I know that no matter what, if something comes up in our marriage, we can always turn to Rev. Mary. On the day of rehearsal, we arrived early to decorate the sanctuary and Mertz Hall. Leslie was extremely accommodating and helped out with many key things such as the communion bread and juice. She conducted the rehearsal and made sure to help each member understand what their jobs and cues were. Leslie’s team also set up the cocktail hour in the courtyard, directed the vendors and took all the pressure off of me and my bridal party. You can’t go wrong with CDM Community Congregation. They really made our day beyond our dreams and we couldn’t be happier.

The place is the kind of small church you would see in a movie. At the end of the ceremony, an assigned person from family or friends rings the bell. The atmosphere definitely gives you that special feeling of a sacred marriage ceremony. The staff is very friendly.They approach the preparation and rehearsal seriously, but this is what will make it go smoothly on the wedding day.

My parents were married in this church and since I was a little girl, this was where I wanted to be married as well. I love it because it looks like a church. It's white with classic pews and a perfect steeple. Pat Markle, the wedding coordinator for the church, really worked hard to make sure that our day was flawless.
