For a single concert rental, a dress rehearsal within the week of the concert may be added at no extra cost, dependent on availability.

Rental Process:
If interested, please email (office@he-umc.org) or call (617-354-0837) the church office. We will answer any questions that you may have and discuss availability. If you decide to move forward with the rental, a deposit of $200 will secure your date. The remaining balance is due by the event date.
