The King's Chapel

Thank you for considering having your wedding ceremony at King's Chapel! Since the Reverend Robert Ratcliffe celebrated New England's first wedding here on May 18, 1686, only three days after his arrival in Boston, King's Chapel has hosted hundreds of weddings. Friends and family will be able to watch you exchanging vows and taking another step along life's journey together in our historic sanctuary, which was erected in 1754. We provide a more intimate setting in The Little Chapel at our Parish House, a beautiful townhouse with its own charm at 64 Beacon Street, for weddings with less than 50 guests. Our wedding service is based on Anglican tradition and is available in our Prayerbook. It is a traditional ceremony during which the pair exchanges vows and rings as a symbol of their commitment. Friends and relatives are asked if they will stand with you and support you while you keep each other safe. The event closes with a blessing, with everyone invested in the union. We welcome you to attend our 11 a.m. Sunday services to become acquainted with our liturgy and the church. We marry couples of any faith or sexual orientation in the inclusive spirit of the One we adore, in keeping with our welcoming of all. Please contact Gretchen Horton, Parish Administrator, if you have any questions regarding holding a wedding at King's Chapel. We take our application process very seriously because we believe that marriage is a choice that requires love, support, and community to be happy. Couples who marry at King's Chapel get to know our clergy and begin dialogues about their relationships that (hopefully) will help them through difficult times as a pair in the future.
