About this venue

A Timeless Coastal Wedding Venue in Palos Verdes Estates: Perched atop the dramatic cliffs of Palos Verdes with sweeping views of the Santa Monica Bay, The Neighborhood Church has been a beloved wedding destination for nearly 75 years. Overlooking the Pacific from Redondo Beach to Malibu, our seaside Sanctuary offers a breathtaking setting to begin your life together. Housed within the historic Haggarty Estate—a 1920s oceanfront mansion—the Sanctuary blends coastal charm with timeless elegance. Adorned with hand-painted ceiling murals and framed by panoramic ocean vistas, the space accommodates up to 250 guests for ceremonies and 100–135 guests for receptions. A beautifully appointed ocean-view bridal suite and manicured gardens enhance the experience, creating a stunning and serene backdrop for your special day.

    Amazing Venue

    BEAUTIFUL venue that is hidden away - the experience starts from the drive TO the church as you turn into a breathtaking wide ocean view. The church is so beautiful we only needed two pillars and 2 arrangements for decorations. The only downside to decorations is there is a lot of limitations (they dont allow anything on the aisle, not even a white aisle runner) BUT the church is so gorgeous on it's own. Setta the wedding coordinator is very professional and kind and really helps day of to coordinate the timing of everything. She has a very calm demeanor which is helpful during a hectic day. Pastor Scott officiated and he was very kind and accomodating. The majority of our guests were born and raised in southern california and remarked how they never heard or been to this church and they were amazed at how beautiful it was. Many commented how they felt they were in europe! It also was just the PERFECT summer day in mid-June- warm but a slight breeze with perfect blue skies. We had parasols for the girls and they came in handy to provide some shade while taking pictures! The reception offering is a little expensive and they only provide the space - no tables/charis and only beer/wine allowed and there is a curfew - either 9 or 10pm. This would have been a perfect place to do a reception as well but with all the resctrictions and planning required to do it there we opted out of it but I really wish we could have! Their package includes day of coordinator, you must use their officiant, an amazing organist, a bridal and groomsmen suite, a meeting with the officiant, and a rehearsal run through.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review! It was truly a pleasure to be part of your beautiful June wedding, and we are so happy to hear that you and your guests enjoyed the breathtaking setting and the beauty of our church. We love hearing that your guests felt as though they had been transported to Europe—what a wonderful compliment! We are especially grateful for your kind words about our wedding coordination and Pastor Scott. It was a joy to help keep everything running smoothly on your special day, and we are so glad that our calm and organized approach helped make the day a little less stressful. While our historic church and grounds provide a beautiful backdrop that often requires minimal décor, we understand that our guidelines and reception requirements may not work for every couple. We truly appreciate your honest feedback and are always looking for ways to improve the experience we offer our wedding couples. Thank you again for choosing us to be part of such an important day. We wish you both a lifetime filled with love, happiness, and beautiful memories!
