Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- The modern, light-flooded sanctuary is truly stunning. The altar is backed by an exquisite, floor-to-ceiling stained glass installation, and the soaring roof is perched on parallel rows of bright windows, echoing the sanctuary's pew-lined aisle.
- This Christian fellowship welcomes all committed couples. There are no tests of membership, and you are welcome to bring your own minister (or use theirs). The ministry team is experienced and sensitive to each engaged pair's unique needs.
- A landscaped garden and patio is a lovely setting for photos. Later, dine and dance in the intimate reception hall, which boasts an excellent sound system and a state-of-the-art kitchen. Alternately, take advantage of their partnership with Saratoga Country Club to host a larger celebration there—they'll ensure the transition is smooth, and they work with every budget!
