The Old Whaling Church, Edgartown

Located next door to the Dr. Daniel Fisher House, the Old Whaling Church can accommodate as many as 500 guests for a wedding ceremony. This stately landmark, which was built by whaling captains in 1843, is considered to be one of the finest examples of Greek revival architecture in New England. The interdenominational church continues its heritage as Edgartown's premier meeting place and is the ideal location for your wedding ceremony. The Frederick Baylies Room, located on the church's lower level, provides a spacious setting for a private party or meeting for as many as 150 guests.
