Celebrate
Your Wedding
at Grace Episcopal Church
Central Downtown Location
Grace Episcopal Church is a beautiful Gothic Revival-style building started in 1855 by the oldest congregation in the city. It is situated on the Capitol Square in Madison, Wisconsin, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
As part of vibrant downtown Madison, Grace is across the street from the State Capitol Building, and close to the Monona Terrace and Lake Monona, the Overture Center, State Street, and the University of Wisconsin, as well as numerous restaurants, hotels, and reception venues. Our central location, architectural beauty, and English-style courtyard garden provide a pleasant ambiance and exceptional photographic opportunities to capture the essence of your downtown wedding.
Anyone is welcome at Grace Church
Grace Episcopal Church welcomes all. You are not required to be an Episcopalian or to follow the Episcopal Marriage Service in order in order to hold your wedding at Grace. Same-sex couples are also welcome to hold their ceremonies here.
Wedding Coordinator
Grace Church has a Wedding Coordinator available to assist you in planning thedetails leading up to and through your ceremony. This includes:
Responding to all initial wedding inquiries;
Providing tours of the church;
Providing answers to any and all questions;
Providing a directory of helpful resources in planning your special day;
Providing assistance during the on-site rehearsal to either direct or facilitate, as needed;
Providing a presence on the wedding day: helping to orchestrate the flow of your time at Grace, supporting the needs of your wedding party and guests, and troubleshooting any issues that might arise, in order to ensure your ceremony runs as smoothly as possible.
“Pat was a ‘godsend!’ Without her expertise, thoughtfulness, assistance and time, whether to meet at the Church or answer countless emails … this special day would have fallen short. …that, combined with the beauty of Grace Church, is a combination no parent nor bride and groom should
go without!”
