Need help finding a church!

Hi girls!

I grew up in and am getting married in NY, but now live in DC and FI and I are trying to find a church to get married in. My parents' church is booked, so we're trying to find one that will marry non members and is available on our date- June 23, 2007. I'm protestant and FI is catholic- we're hoping to find a protestant church that looks sort of like catholic churches (so FI will feel comfy!) Does anyone have any recommendations? Our reception is at the Swan Club, so we'd like a church somewhere not too far from there, but we're providing transportation so a bit of a drive is ok. TIA!

Hi there. How about the First Presbyterian Church of Oyster Bay? Oyster Bay is less than 10 miles from Glen Cove, not too bad at all. The church is located at 60 E Main St, Oyster Bay, NY 11771.

Actually, presbyterians are protestant- protestant is sort of the blanket name for non catholic christians, so presbyterian definitely works. We usually go to a presbyterian church, so it's a great suggestion- I'll check it out. Thanks!

Also, do a quick search using the term 'churches in Glen Cove'. That took me to a local yellow pages type site that had churches throughout Long Island! That should help too
