Weddings
The Church of the New Jerusalem: The Swedenborgian Church of San Diego (est 1883) has has welcomed couples from all religious backgrounds to celebrate their wedding in this lovely historic sanctuary for over 100 years. Imagine your wedding in a lovely, angelic, historical and intimate setting.
The Swedenborgian sanctuary in San Diego, was designed by noted San Diego architect Louis Gill (Irving Gill,s nephew), in it’s nestled, beautifully landscaped lawns and gardens. The exquisite Rose Garden forms a stunning background for wedding photography and videography. Evening ceremonies provide an enchanting candlelight atmosphere.
At The Swedenborgian Church of San Diego we have previously offered religious union ceremonies, and now we are excited by the prospect of conducting wedding ceremonies for same gender couples which will be legally recognized as well. We know that many same gender couples have been married to each other in their own hearts and minds for a long time.
In a wedding ceremony here we will be honoring the sacredness of the commitment you have made to each other and we will be asking for God’s continued blessing on you in your life together as married partners.
The Church Musicians play, allowing you to choose a wide variety of music. Candles on the altar are lighted for your ceremony. For evening ceremonies a Candlelight option is available.
The Chapel’s wedding staff guides you from your initial contact through your wedding day including a planning conference, your rehearsal and the wedding ceremony. One of the Chapel Ministers meets with you well before the wedding day to plan your wedding ceremony, as well as conducting your marriage service.
Swedenborg Hall offers a large space to hold your reception.
