St Francis De Sales Church

The church is beautiful and the Father Gabriel is the nicest person ever. He was funny and the ceremony went fairly smoothly. I was happy with it and so was everyone attending.

The only thing I would complain about is that the church's wedding coordinator rudely informed my photographer that he was not to use flash. When my photographer asked if the bride knew that she told him I had signed something regarding the "no flash" rule and I was aware. I was NOT aware and after the wedding I looked over every document I signed and no where did it say anything about flash photography.

Also they wouldn't allow him to take photos from the upstairs organ room. It would have made for a beautiful photo.

Brides: be aware there is no flash photography allowed at this church and they won't tell you that prior.

Don't let the neighbohood fool you. This BEAUTIFUL "little" church was the perfect setting for our wedding. A long aisle leads to a small yet elegant sunburst altar where we didn't feel disattached from our guests...very cozy. Our ceremony, with a full nuptial mass (with Mantilla, rosary, unity candle, communion for 80 people ) lasted 45 minutes and our experienced photographer had plenty of time, (25 minutes) to shoot many pictures inside before the next mass. Father Rios did an outstanding job with his soft spoken ,easy manner and touching homily. We did not feel rushed. Beautifully executed music and singing and great sound system. A wonderfully unforgettable ceremony to start our marriage !

They accommodated us at the last minute when our original ceremony site fell through. That made me very happy and put my mind at ease. The church is beautiful and Fr. Albert is a great person. My only problem here was that our ceremony started with a 25 minute mass which put our timeline off and cost me time with our pictures.
