Historic First Lutheran Church

"The place is quite nice if you want to rent it for your event. However, the people in charge are a forc"

"This is such a beautiful church. My husband and I had our ceremony here and it was beautiful despite the construction. Unfortunately, the owners of the church were extremely disrespectful, racist, and rude. We were told that we could decorate however we would like as long as we cleaned up. The morning after our ceremony we cleaned every single thing up. As we were cleaning, one of the church members arrived and told accused my mother-in-law of not being allowed to be in the church because she is not white. He harassed her about her religion and race. He also said we had "too many decorations and flowers". The entire interaction after the church found out that my husband is not white was negative. We followed every guideline given and cleaned everything up immediately. I would not recommend visiting this church and I will not be recommending it to anyone. The way my family was treated after our celebration was racist and disgusting. It is very unfortunate that in a place of God they do not respect His people. Extremely disappointing."

"Great place to get married."

"My husband and I were married in this Church over the weekend and it was so incredible. We were so in love with this place the moment we walked in. It is so bright inside with all the tall windows, allowing perfect natural light to flood in. All the details are so beautiful and we loved how traditional it was. So many of our guests complimented how gorgeous and historic the Church was. We worked with Ann on all the planning and she was so kind and quick to respond. I would hands down recommend this Church to everyone, it is such a gem. This Church will forever hold a special place in our hearts and we are so grateful we were able to become husband and wife there in front of all our family and friends."

"An outstanding location for a Madison area wedding venue. The church is close to great hotels that cater to wedding receptions. This is a quaint yet elegant setting for life-long memories of a happy occasion."
