About the Sanctuary
In 1989, the City of Long Beach Cultural Heritage Commission officially designated the building a Historical Landmark. The current structure was built in 1939 on a site whose congregation dates to 1906, making this the third church to occupy the location.
Today, the building has been meticulously restored and repurposed as a specialized wedding venue — carefully maintaining its Gothic presence designed by local architect Easton D. Herrald.
Attire
We're asking guests to dress in Semi-formal Attire —suits and long dresses welcome.
We want you to feel comfortable but look your best! We invite our guests to join in our celebration's color palette by wearing dark suits, cocktail dresses, or evening attire. If you’d like to match the room, think classic black, deep reds, and rich burgundy.
Please avoid: White and light cream tones (reserved for the bride!)
Weather Note
October in Long Beach is beautiful — expect highs in the mid-70s. The ceremony and reception are indoors, but the cocktail hour will be outdoors. A light layer is recommended for the evening breeze.
