Our facility is open to church members, regular attendees and their families.

Couples must complete Love for Life, our premarital counseling class. They must also have premarital counseling with their officiating pastor.

Our on-site coordinators are here to assist you with your wedding day details and logistics. A wedding coordinator will be assigned to you no later than three months prior to your wedding day.

Our pastors are available to officiate your wedding. Set an appointment to meet with the staff pastor of your choice to have him approve and/or officiate your wedding.  Outside pastors may participate in your wedding upon approval by our staff pastor.

Alcohol (including wine or champagne for toasts) is not allowed on campus.

You may choose to use your own *full-service caterer for meal receptions. However, we highly recommend our in-house caterer, THE WELL, for all your catering needs. THE WELL staff is not only fully equipped to manage your event, but will work with you on the best menu for your budget. Their easy access to all the reception venues makes set-up and food transport convenient. For more information on THE WELL, please contact Kirsten Lockhart or Claudia Pratt at 714.257.4343.

*Full-service caterers handle all food prep off-site. They also set, serve and clean up after the event.
