There were ordinary services. Depending on the church, these might include such daily services as Lauds and Vespers, but certainly there would be the Eucharist, or Mass.
There were services for special occasions, such as baptisms, funerals, marriages, confirmations, and confessions. Sermons were preached at some services.
The churches ranged from plain and simple to fancy and refined. There was music appropriate to the church.
During some times in the medieval ages, there were moral entertainments, such as passion plays and morality plays.
There were special events outside the church. In England, for example, there were contests for archers on Sundays. The English felt it was very important for the peasant population to be able to defend itself and, by extension, the country. One result of this was that the English armies included fearsome groups of archers, who could cut down charging knights from over a hundred yards away, with arrows going right through their armor.

Interestingly, medieval weddings did not usually happen in church. In fact, it was not until about 100 years after the middle ages was over that church marriage became required. During the Middle Ages, marriages consisted of vows between a man and a woman, usually done in private, without benefit of clergy, and without need for witnesses. If the marriage was consummated, then it was legal. If it was not consummated, it was still difficult to get out of. It could be registered with a church, but that was not necessary. I have to smile at this question. Medieval women got married in precisely the same places medieval men did, of course.

There was no New Jersey in medieval times.
In medieval times, being against the Church could have severe consequences, as the Church held significant power over both spiritual and temporal matters. A person expressing dissent might face excommunication, which would bar them from participating in sacraments and lead to social ostracism. Additionally, they could be subjected to trials for heresy, which could result in imprisonment, torture, or even execution. The Church's influence meant that opposition could also provoke backlash from the community and local authorities.
The liturgical language used by the medieval Christian church was Latin.
