    First Congregational Church of Riverside Weddings & Events was a wonderful venue for our wedding day. Their communication style was personal and quick, which made planning the event a breeze. The venue was also very flexible and offered a large, beautiful space that accommodated our needs perfectly. We especially appreciated that their 3.5 hours of event time did not start until the bride and groom arrived, allowing us to have the full time we needed. Overall, we had a fantastic experience working with First Congregational Church of Riverside Weddings & Events and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their special day.
