Overview

If you dreamt of having a wedding with a dramatic view of the ocean, you'll love South Shores Church.    Within spitting distance of The Ritz Carlton, this church is on a hill with an impressive view of Laguna Beach.   It's a lovely church, with perhaps the nicest wedding coordinators you will ever find.  They love talking about American Idol!

ceremonyIf you want to know the quality of a church, it's easy to gauge by how they treat the people who get married in their parish.   Many churches make the bridal couple feel unimportant, and that the church and the traditions mean more than the bridal couple and their vows.  This is so sad.  I have to say that the one thing that stands out clearly in my mind is that South Shores Church really does an excellent job of not only making the bridal couple feel at home, but their guests as well.    This church should be the gold standard where other churches are judged.  If you can get married at this church, consider yourself blessed!

What Type Of Bridal Couple Would Like This Place?

South Shores  Church cares about it's brides, it's beautiful, it's clean, it's easy to work with, it scores a perfect ten!  It is the gold standard in which we use to rate other churches.    

 

Photographic Potential

Overall Evaluation

They will make you feel right at home at this church.  Even if you're having your wedding reception in Riverside it's worth the very long commute to get married at this church.   It's a pleasure to work at this church, we have been to it many, many times.
