Non-denominational churches

in Michigan-Detroit
Hi Ladies!

I am actually a Vegas bride but I am helping my cousin plan her wedding in Michigan. She is looking for a non-denominational church that allows you to bring in your own officiant. Her reception is in New Haven but she is not too particular on where the ceremony is, as long as it is within an hour or so. She would prefer to not have the ceremony in Detroit.

Any suggestions?

TIA!

    I had trouble finding one, too, but I finally found First Baptist Church of Birmingham. They're letting us bring in our own pastor even though he's Presbyterian.

    Oh yeah, 1st Baptist runs about $1,100 for non-members. That includes building rental, janitor, organist, and coordinator.
