Hyde Park United Methodist Church requests that all guests maintain a respectful silence and put away all cell phones for the entirety of the service. We have a professional photographer capturing every moment, and we ask that you join us in being fully present, experiencing this special day with your hearts rather than through a screen. Thank you for your understanding.
There is a large parking lot located behind the church. Disability parking is located just outside the chapel within the gates. Our ceremony will take place in the chapel, not the main sanctuary. For the reception, there is complimentary parking across the street from the venue at the Christian Science Church. Vehicles may not be left overnight as church service will take place the following morning. We strongly recommend utilizing your preferred taxi service.

This is an open bar event. Selections of beer, wine, liquor, and signature cocktails will be available.
Children are welcome! If you are interested in contributing toward the cost of childcare at the venue throughout the entire evening, please contact us at 863-944-6970.
