The
Little Brown Church:
The Wedding of Ronald and Nancy Reagan
As the world said
goodbye to President Ronald Reagan, the love between the former
president and his first lady caught the attention of romantics
around the globe. Married for 52 years, the team started their
life together as husband and wife on March 4, 1952 at the Little
Brown Church in Studio City, California. Like many ceremonies
held in this chapel, the Reagans' was a simple wedding, witnessed
by best man actor William Holden and his wife. The ceremony was
followed with a cake cutting in the chapel's anteroom.
The chapel remains a non-denominational site for weddings today.
The simple building, located on Coldwater Canyon Avenue, opened
its doors in 1940. Simple wooden pews seat as many as 125 guests.
Prices for weddings at the chapel vary by the size of your wedding
party, starting at $185. The fee includes the use of the chapel,
bride's room, and donations for the minister, organist, and a
wedding hostess.
Visitors can feel free to stop by the church for a look; the doors
are open 24 hours daily. Stop by 4418 Coldwater Canyon Avenue
