Absolutely Amazing !

FCC deserves 15 stars if possible ! We had our wedding and reception here and it was amazing ! The spaces are beautiful and have a vintage vibe. Lynnly could not have been more helpful and made the day stress free. Our wedding turned out incredible thanks to FCC!

Wedding Ceremony

Wonderful location in downtown Geneva.
Lynnly helped us plan our ceremony and processional so I had no need for a day of coordinator.

They also provided a large space for my family and entire wedding party to relax before the ceremony started.

We received so many compliments on the church and location.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
