Text hwere Pacific Grove Sanctuary & Garden
The building’s unique architecture presents a bright, open ambience with distinctive curved glass walls and a warm, inviting foyer. This Pacific Grove sanctuary has been lovingly cared for and cherished by past and present owners and this reverence is apparent from the moment one walks into the central space. The sanctuary comfortably accommodates 200 people in gracious ambience. The curved glass walls offer natural lighting and a view of a lovely outdoor garden. The Garden offers the perfect location for receptions or small garden weddings or events. Our outdoor garden and deck provides a haven for activities, such as wedding ceremonies, photo shoots, receptions, or breaks during seminars, workshops or meetings. Music, Lighting & Video
The outstanding acoustics in the sanctuary and the grand piano result in a superior musical experience. There is a state-of-the-art sound system with JBL speakers and a Soundcraft mixing board; a Mitsubishi XD450U data-projector and Da-Lite screen are also available at an additional cost. We also have the ability to live stream events and/or record with HiDef video equipment. Community / Reception Room
The Pacific Coast Church Social Room is ideal for receptions or meetings. Measuring 23 x 41 feet, it can easily accommodate 70 for a seated dinner or a classroom setting, and twice that number if formal seating is not required. The beautiful Pergo wood floor is perfect for dancing, and the fabric valances adorning the windows create an air of elegance and comfort. Staging Areas / Bride & Groom Locations
We have two different rooms that can be setup to accommodate the special needs of the Bride and Groom. We will work with you to find the best room design for your needs. |
