Weddings and Retreats

If you are looking for a beautiful mountain chapel to celebrate your wedding day or if your looking for a mountain retreat Mt Baldy Village Church has a lot to offer.

Our sanctuary has been called one of the most beautiful chapels in Southern California and for good reason. Our Swiss Chalet style church with large windows framed in river rock and aged knotty pine look out to the Angeles National Forest that makes it seem as if you've not just driven up the mountain, but that you have entered another country and another era.

But don't let the comfort and beauty of an old fashioned chapel in the woods fool you.  Hidden behind the wood is a state of the art sound and video projection system that will allow everyone in every seat to hear your wedding clearly, and to see those pictures of you and your fiancee that you've prepared for them.

Our church seats a maximum of 140 in a combination of cushioned pews and chairs in the fireside and three level balcony areas.  Use the "Contact Us" page to request a wedding package and we'll send you everything you need for a picture perfect wedding.

Our "Standard Wedding Package" includes:

  • Pastor and three hours of pre-marital counseling
  • Two candelabra (Candles provided)
  • Unity candle holder (Candles not provided)
  • Center aisle runner
  • Pew decorations
  • Altar decorations 
  • Kneeling bench (if you will be taking communion as part of your wedding vows),
  • Musician (Keyboard, Piano or Guitar per your request)
  • Sound/Video technician (Microphones, Tape, CD, Video Projector)
  • Two wedding hostesses
  • Parking lot attendant for weddings over 100 guests. 

We rarely book more than one wedding on any day and if we do we allow three hours between weddings to make sure you are not rushed on your most important day.  Limited reception service is also available following your wedding.

Thinking of a One or Two day Retreat?

Our church has a full kitchen, two Breakout rooms, a loft seating area and a cozy Fireside Area as well as a beautiful patio area complete with Bar-B-Que.  Along side the patio Bear Canyon Creek runs most of the year creating a pleasent and relaxing atmoshere for you to enjoys God's creation. The patio has six park benches and folding chairs are available for you to have outdoor worship time if you desire.  The 100 foot rock wall opposite the patio makes the seclusion of the patio a place you will remember.  For overnight retreats you can rough it by bringing your own bedding and "Bunking" in the Breakout rooms or on the cushioned pews or arrange or you can find comfortable nearby accomodations at the Mt Baldy Buckhorn Lodge Motel or the cabins of the Mt Baldy Lodge .
