| A wedding in the beautiful Westwood UMC Sanctuary |
Westwood United Methodist Church has been the setting for beautiful weddings since the first chapel was built in 1929. Our present sanctuary was built in 1951. It is a wonderful example of Spanish Gothic and Contemporary architectures. One of the most outstanding features is the Glory Window located above the altar. This amazing stained glass window depicts Christ’s life in multi-color glass. It is covered by the same patterns in metal with a 24 gold-leaf overlay. Also available is a concert grand piano and The Shaffer Memorial Pipe Organ with over 10,000 pipes. This wonderful instrument can play trumpets and chimes, which make glorious fanfares and send-offs.
Weddings usually occur on Saturday mornings (11:00), and Saturday afternoons (4:00) but times are flexible.
The sanctuary seats a maximum of 600 people, with on-site underground parking for 192 cars.
The inclusive fee for a wedding at Westwood United Methodist Church is $2000.00.
