First Unitarian Church San Jose Overview

This beautiful and historic building in downtown San Jose is a picturesque location for a special wedding day. This sanctuary includes dozens of breathtaking stained-glass windows with floral designs, creating a display of dazzling light on both the main floor and the mezzanine. Seat your guests down wooden rows arranged in a semicircle so everyone gets a great view of the beautiful bride and groom during the ceremony. The train of the dress brushes along the intricately designed carpet as you make your way toward the triple-arched chancel where the love of your life awaits. In the background, the tune of your choice is played softly on the Steinway Baby Grand piano with the organ adding finishing touches to the elegance of the space. Gather for a fun reception in the parlor-style Fireside Room, featuring a beautiful piano, wooden-paneled walls, and a gorgeously maintained barrel ceiling. The fireplace is one of several antique touches your guests will admire as they make their way down the buffet line. With many different rooms available for your choice, the First Unitarian Church has all that it needs to make your big day a very special occasion.
