Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara Overview

The 80-year old, Spanish-style, historic building of the Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara features beautiful architectural elements that will enhance the aesthetic quality of any wedding. The Sanctuary has a rounded ceiling, a raised chancel and altar area, tiled floor, and two large stained glass windows. Gardens surround the church building, and a unique brick courtyard with a center fountain is enclosed within the grounds. With lovely outdoor lighting, the Courtyard makes a beautiful setting for daytime or evening photography. The church sanctuary includes original wooden pews, two large stained glass windows that reflect colorful light throughout all hours of the day. A grand piano and a pipe organ are available for use during the ceremony to add extra flare to your special day! Overhead lighting can be supplemented with graceful candelabras placed at each pew. Overlooking the courtyard garden, the parish hall can accommodate your guests for a beautiful reception. Tables, cushioned chairs, and a stage area make the parish hall an ideal space for an entertaining celebration!
