Waugh Church - the Scene of Country Weddings
Waugh United Methodist Church has been the scene of many country weddings, including the final "wedding" scene in Paramount's 1999 movie, "Runaway Bride". The lovely 157-year-old sanctuary, featuring original stained-glass windows, provides a warm, intimate setting for up to 125 guests. Located in a rural setting on Long Green Pike, one quarter mile from Harford Road, and only four miles from the Baltimore Beltway, there is ample parking in the church parking area. A reception tent can also be set up on the spacious, well-kept grounds. To be married at Waugh Church, the prospective bride or groom must contact Rev. Richard Mortimore at 410-592-8303. The couple to be married is required to meet with the minister for several counseling sessions, and must attend some Sunday worship services. There is a fee for non-members of the church for the use of the sanctuary for a wedding, as well as fees for the minister, organist, and janitor.
