Neighborhood Church

The Neighborhood Church is unbelievably beautiful! It sits on a bluff in the South Bay. The sanctuary is located in the back of the church with many large windows and view of the ocean. The church requires a one Saturday pre-marital class that we found to be very helpful. We also had a 'get to know you' session with the Pastor to run through the ceremony as well to let him know what was important to us. We were told by many of guests that they thought the Pastor had known us for years! Our pictures turned out to be absoultely amazing inside the church as well as on the grounds.

I went to a wedding here not too long ago and thought the location was beautiful. The minister assigned by the church was warm and funny. If you're interested in this location, make sure to book early, as it was all booked for the dates I considered when I was planning my wedding.

This church is absolutely breathtaking! If you are looking to be married by the beach, but want to still be in a church this is the best of both worlds. It is by far our most favorite part of our wedding. The church is an old estate that was converted into a church. The architecture is Spanish style and the exterior and interior details are beautiful. It is $1700 for a wedding and they have some strict guidelines but we feel it is well worth it! Our photographer has shot many weddings at this church and recommends to work with vendors who are familiar with this location due to the guidelines.

You will not find a beautiful setting to have a wedding, there are so many areas to get awsome pictures. We were very happy with the pictures that we got. Rev. Barnes was awsome and made our wedding special. We were very happy with our wedding.

There were some points that may concern you: The church books fast and the cost is rising so book as soon as possible. During the day of our wedding, the wedding before ours was running behind so the bride had to wait before she could get dressed. They were also having a pre-marital meeting during our wedding so there were some random couples floating around. When my groomsmen and myself were coming back from the only bathroom we were talking and the head minister yelled at us for disturbing his meeting. That was very un-professional, as we paid for the cite and are getting yelled at for talking. Finally, at the end of our post wedding photo shoot our limo was running a little late and were waiting towards the exit of the church when the church wedding planner came out and told us that we had to leave, when we told her the limo would be her shortly she told us that we would have to wait out on the sidewalk, thanks Barbra.

If you can make sure that everything is on time and you can deal with other people walking around the wedding and don't mind waiting on the corner for your limo if it is late than this beautiful church is well worth the chunk of change.
