UU Wedding

The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Clinton is available for special ceremonies marking life's milestones such as weddings, same-sex marriages in accordance with Iowa law, civil unions, child dedications and memorial services. Many people are looking for a service that is spiritual, but one that is not bound to traditional church doctrine. Our officiate can work with you as a couple to plan a service that will be meaningful to you. You are free to provide your own musicians or music, including use of our piano and sound system.  A CD player and wedding CDs are available for use. You are welcome to use a minister of your choice or our officiate. The church office keeps a list of community ministers who would be happy to work with families to help celebrate or commemorate major life passages like marriages, child dedications and memorial services.
