Non-denominational Ceremony site

We are planning a winter wedding so the ceremony needs to be inside. My FH would prefer a traditional setting for the ceremony (a church). We both grew up catholic and feel comfortable in that setting, but we are both agnostic, so we can't get married in a church. Does anyone know of any traditional style (aesthetically) churches/venues that are either no longer religiously affiliated or are accepting of those who aren't active in a church?

Depending on how many people you're having, you might check out Duncan Memorial Chapel in the Crestwood area.  It's tiny and would only fit 80 or so people.  Also, be aware that it's in a cemetary, but is a beautiful stone church type buliding. 

If I was getting married there, I would do the reception at the Kavanaugh Center, which is part of the Methodist Church's headquarters very close to there.  They have a room which overlooks a wooded area and has a wall of windows that is gorgeous.

I got married at Owl Creek Country Club in Anchorage and we had our reception there.  It was nice to just relocate rooms rather than move venues and very time efficient!  It was beautiful to look out on the snow covered golf course and trees!  The staff is amazing and the prices are very affordable!

Depending on how large of a wedding you are having, we've had friends use the Sawyer Hayes Center in Tom Sawyer Park.  It holds up to 250-300, but you could always split the rooms and use one side for ceremony and the other for reception!  I've heard that the prices for this place are going up this year because so many people have been using it.
