Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Thoughtfully reimagined by the renowned team at Bites Catering Couture, this remarkable 1913 church-turned-event space offers the perfect blend of historic elegance and modern style in the heart of Long Beach.
- The second floor Sanctuary is a stunning spot to say “I do.” Make your entrance through a set of gorgeous Arts and Crafts-style glass-paned doors, then exchange vows beneath the breathtaking 30-foot coffered ceilings and soaring windows that flood the space with light.
- Downstairs, you’ll find a charming reception hall studded with columns and boasting original brick detailing. Or, opt to celebrate outside in the gated courtyard; the space is particularly lovely when draped with gauzy curtains and illuminated by glowing bistro lights.
