    Weddings

    Members of Buncombe Street United Methodist Church or children of members may use our worship spaces for weddings and receptions. In order for a wedding to be placed on the church calendar, these persons must have been members of the church for at least one (1) year. The spaces available include:

    • Downtown Campus Sanctuary (capacity – 800)
    • Trinity Campus Sanctuary (capacity – 300)
    • Memorial Chapel (capacity – 200)
    • Sisk Hall  (receptions only)

    Brides should read our Wedding Policy prior to submitting a Wedding Information Sheet to request a BSUMC wedding. If the wedding is placed on the church calendar, you will be contacted with next steps.

    Please do not submit a Wedding Information Sheet unless you meet the membership requirement and are prepared to abide by all aspects of the Wedding Policy.

    Funerals

    It is our honor to assist families, members, ministers, and funeral homes in planning and conducting comforting, reverent funerals at the church. For more information or questions on planning a funeral at Buncombe Street UMC, contact Rev. Grover Putnam.
