Riverside Community Church gives a Port Coquitlam wedding the unusual freedom to choose between intimate, bright, modern and truly grand spaces without leaving the same property.
The church actively hosts weddings and has several settings designed specifically for ceremonies and receptions.
The Chapel keeps things close, welcoming around 80 to 100 guests.
The Atrium brings natural light and high ceilings for up to around 160.
The Activity Centre opens into a larger reception space for roughly 200 to 300.
And the Sanctuary can hold ceremonies of up to around 700 guests depending on the setup.
That means the wedding can grow around the people who actually need to be there.
A dedicated wedding specialist helps couples plan the day, while event coordination, audiovisual support, room setup and officiant options are also available.
Then the practical pieces fade away.
The vows happen.
The room fills.
Dinner becomes speeches.
And a church built for community becomes the place where one new family begins.
For couples who want the meaning of a church ceremony without giving up flexibility for the celebration afterward, Riverside offers both.
