Magical Wedding and Great Memories!

Thanks, IUCC! Our wedding day was absolutely magical and the IUCC team was awesome to work with while planning everything. After our first tour we had a clear idea of how to set up our decorations and tables. Since we were on a budget we really loved how easy it was to bring in our own decorations, food, and drinks making the reception our own super simple.

The church was a good location and super easy to get into. The sanctuary is beautiful and we really liked how the round layout of the sanctuary and Plumer Hall, it was a unique way to bring our guests together and everyone had the best time! The whole day flew by!!

I’d def think about booking Plumer Hall again for a bday or graduation party!

Irvine United Congregational Church - an ideal space for our Autumn Wedding !!

We got married during the pandemic so our options were limited. We love IUCC's sanctuary, but we realized that we actually really loved the openness and beauty of the church grounds. The setting lent itself well to an outdoor wedding. We were able to get married outside in what felt like a garden, and then we set up an outdoor reception nearby. All felt so relaxed and easy, we were able to focus on our love and commitment and enjoy our special day with our friends and family safely without worry. We are so glad IUCC was able to accommodate us during the pandemic, but we would do it all over again because it was so beautiful!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
