The Old Round Church can be rented for weddings, christenings and other special occasions.  Its picturesque setting and elegant historic interior will make any ceremony memorable. Its distinctive 16-sided shape with seating at both ground and balcony levels provides a cozy, intimate environment, no matter how large or small the event.  The clean, unadorned walls and wood floors offer marvelous acoustics.

The Old Round Church seats 200 and has parking space available in an adjacent field as well as along Round Church Road.  It is handicapped accessible, with a ramp at the south entrance.  The church has electricity, but no heat, air-conditioning or running water.  A port-o-let behind the building provides limited restroom facilities. An antique melodeon and organ in the church are available for use; groups may also provide their own musicians and instruments.

The Old Round Church is managed by the Richmond Historical Society, an all-volunteer non-profit organization.  The church is available for rent to persons and groups regardless of race, creed, affiliation, or sexual orientation.  The current wedding rental rate is $600.
