Stunning location for an intimate & unique outdoor wedding ceremony. Incredible value. 180 degree & unobstructed view of Richardson Bay and the golden gate bridge from the top of Tiburon. Easy parking for guests- location is not even known by locals. Weather may be a little overcast and unpredictable but we were blessed with perfect weather in May. Our ceremony was on a Saturday morning - and both the bride and groom managed to get sunburnt! Christine was attentive and easy to work with. Thank you!

Harmony Chapel is the perfect place to start your 'Happily Ever After.' Not only is the venue romantic, remote, and spontaneous, but working with Karen (vendor) on planning and execution was ideal. She's very responsive and will help you make your special day even more perfect. I used the Chapel to propose, and I couldn't have picked a better venue. We loved everything about Harmony, CA! Can't wait to go back...

Crossline was an amazing venue for our wedding. Our coordinators, Gayla & Kris, were both professional, timely with responses, and so genuine and sweet in our interactions. We really felt cared for, especially when Kris gave us a call about some last minute changes, but was still able meet our requests for reception (fitting all our guests/vendors inside). The only reason we docked off a star was because we felt like the media team for reception didn't fully read our instructions for our media transitions (e.g., dimming the lights, playing the correct music, accidentally muted our slideshow). Though there were a few hiccups during reception, it was still an unforgettable night and we were so grateful to Crossline! Thank you, Gayla & Kris!

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!

Our wedding experience at this church was truly beautiful. They helped us every step of the way and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Everyone was so sweet, kind, and welcoming. We are very grateful for the support and love we received.

I don't even know where to begin. Best decision to have our wedding reception here. I wish I could give them more stars. We booked this place because they had an excellent venue deal that seemed too good to be true but it was. We rented out their Festival hall which was huge easily held our 160 guests. The location was also wonderful because it is really close to the 405 freeway and the beach that we got married on. The staff was very easy to communicate with and always responded promptly to our emails. Thanks Rachel and Mary for always responding to my numerous emails.They were also very straightforward with the pricing, very simple pricing didn't charge us for stupid fees like other venue tried to do. Even got our cake through their bakery was delicious. A beautiful 3-tiered cake for way below the cost of regular 3 tiered wedding cakes. Thank you Roseanna the cake was amazing. Lastly I want to praise their security guards they were great and kind and even helped with parts of the wedding. From setting up and even helped us clean up in the end, thanks Josh. I can’t say enough of how great this place and their staff was to us. Really made my wedding reception carefree.

2 words, RENEICE EDWARDS! She made everything happen! From the time my fiancé & I had met her back in 2020 to a couple weeks ago when we had our big day. She made the amount of stress we were under go away when it came to our ceremony. We had 16 bridesmaids, 16 groomsmen, 2 flower girls, 2 train holders & 1 ring bearer. Reneice was the important piece that made our ceremony run so smoothly with no problems. Thank you Reneice for absolutely everything Love always, Adanna & Austin Olomanu

Can't say enough about our October 2025 wedding at the Fleur de Lis Chapel in Upland. We were looking for a special place to get married that was affordable. Fleur de Lis exceeded our expectations. For starters, the chapel is an ornate historical building -- it's more than 100 years old -- with a cool bell tower, beautiful chandelier and well-maintained wooden benches. The chapel staffers, especially Jennifer Maglio and Denise Doll, were super helpful throughout the process. They walked us patiently through the preparations. They were on top of every detail: the guest book table, the unity candle lighting, the aisle decorations, the music and our walking out following the pronouncement. Jennifer even helped us navigate our separate arrivals so the groom would not accidentally catch a glimpse of the bride before the ceremony. We both highly recommend Fleur de Lis.

The Swedenborgian was a fantastic find for our wedding ceremony. From the cost to the overall look and feel of the church, this place was a perfect choice for us. It's interiors are absolutely divine with a warm feel of not just candlelight, but with truly warm and sturdy wood that envelopes the atmosphere with just pure warmth and love. It truly brought our family and friends together where it just felt right and perfect. The process to reserve the Church for our non-denominational wedding was smooth and easy from the Event Manager communicating the overall cost, any limitations and answering questions to the Venue Coordinator helping us develop our ceremony timeline, schedule, and fielding questions and working with our Day of Coordinator. I am absolutely thrilled that this church was our choice as it's value is incomparable for the look of it, the quality of the church and just the overall feel this location gave us from the first moment we visited, when we signed our contract to when we actually had our big day. If you are planning to have an SF wedding and would love a classic, vibrant yet warm location for your ceremony that is intimate, lovely, and just allows you and your bridal party to shine, choose the Swedenborgian. They are worth their fair price and make it so easy.
