The church is absolutely beautiful and historic for Riverside. The coordinator there Noemi went ABOVE and beyond from the moment we met. She made me feel so comfortable and at ease with everything. Had great recommended from flowers to charcuterie boards. She pointed me in the right direction, in anyway possible. Such a big help with everything, we loved meeting her!

Overall experience was amazing! Noemi is such a sweet and helpful person who responded quickly whenever I had a question about anything. Everything moved smoothly the day of my wedding with the help of the church members. The historic aspect of the church was beautiful, however the selling point for me was getting the opportunity to have a pianist play our songs during the ceremony. You definitely get alot for what you pay here.

This review is a bit over due. I got married on 11.12.22 in this beautiful church. Noemi, the wedding planner is extremely helpful and made sure everything ran smoothly. The day of the wedding our flower arrangements were running late and she adapted quickly and let guest know the ceremony would be starting a bit later then expected. The ceremony still went smoothly and was absolutely beautiful. I would 110% recommend booking your ceremony at this church. Because of Noemi the ceremony arrangements caused me little to no stress, and I am extremely grateful. Thank you First Congregational Church of Riverside for a wonderful ceremony and experience.

The fact that this venue comes with a fabulous wedding planner which is Noemi It's already more than worth it. She took care of everything and was on top of everything and really let my family and I truly have a great experience that day-and-night. Not only is the church beautiful but the venue is beautiful as well and right downstairs so our guests enjoyed that, and really loved that it's also was in downtown riverside which the scenery is just amazing everybody couldn't stop talking about it. If you are having your wedding in downtown riverside or in riverside I would definitely recommend checking out this venue you will not regret it.

First Congregational Church Riverside wedding
After visiting so many venues for our daughter’s wedding we finally found home at the first Congregational Church in Riverside. From the very beginning Noemi the wedding coordinator was attentive, she wanted to really know us and to capture who we were and what our kids would love on the day of the wedding. She was promptly responsive to every question there after, making suggestions that only enhanced our experience. She was culturally responsive, learning every difficult name before the rehearsal. She served with a smile and with an energy of a loving heart. Facilities were beautiful, historically interesting and clean, and accommodating to our requests including our having our own officiant and our own contemporary style of worship. We are so very happy with the way the day unfolded.

Lovely church! Maggie, the church coordinator, was amazing and extremely accommodating. Reverend Jane was the perfect person to marry my husband and I, she has a very kind heart and demeanor and I couldn't be happier that she gave our service. So happy we were married at this church!
