Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- From its breathtaking sanctuary to its wooded grounds, this exquisite church draws on the purity of the natural world to create a sense of serenity and wonder. This welcoming, caring congregation, passionate about giving back to their community, is also truly inclusive: all couples are warmly invited to celebrate here.
- At its heart is the awe-inspiring sanctuary, a stunning A-frame thoughtfully crafted in warm pine. Guests enter through four heavy wooden doors, richly carved with images of New Testament figures, and sits on lovely oak pews upholstered with green fabric. Polished riverbed stones in the washed aggregate fl oor echo the sanctuary's earthy aesthetic, while stone planters filled with greenery line the interior.
- The soaring wall of windows behind the altar provides a breathtaking backdrop for your "I do"s, framing a grove of majestic redwood trees reaching heavenward. Guests face this magnificent forest scene, while at the other end of the space a six-foot-tall stained-glass window adds a touch of magic: when sun shines through it, the colorful light is reflected across the church onto the view of the trees.
