  I am not positive, but I am pretty sure Fairfield Baptist Church would. My Dad was married there without being a member, but my brother is a member. They do have two aisles instead of a center aisle though. Also try Rolling Hills Baptist in Fairfield. They may want to do counseling first though.

  Is there a reason you're not interested in becoming a member of the church you're planning to get married in?

  I am a memeber of a church however they have a play going on the day of my wedding, and my fiance chuch wants to charge over $1,000 as a member.  Im not paying that because to me it seems the church is all about the money... churches are supposed to be a non profit orginazation...

  How about St. Clare?  There are also some chapels in the Glendale area, close to Fairfield; google the Glendale New Church.  Good luck!

  </div><div>Churches are non-profit, but to have a wedding, you have to consider the cost for everything that goes into having your Big Day there: a church coordinator, marriage counseling, the utilities bill, priest/pastor's time, clean up, and all of that.  I don't think it's unreasonable.</div><div>
  </div><div>I don't want to argue what exact amount consitutes as "reasonable," that's not my point; but I think we (we = general) need to get away from the expectation that churches should get very little and reception halls get a lot.</div><div>
  </div><div>P.S. Sorry for the rant, but I work (unpaid) for my church and see how much goes into an event there.</div>
