Note: Due to mudslides in early 2024, Wayfarers Chapel is temporarily closed until further notice.

Does any location represent California more than the beautiful coastline? Probably not. Now the question is, how to incorporate the beach and the ocean without actually having a beach wedding? Perhaps the perfect location that would fit those needs is Wayfarers Chapel. Wayfarers Chapel Wedding Venue in Rancho Palos Verdes is the ideal location for your beautiful wedding. Cherished memories taken by Three16 Photography.

Wayfarers Chapel is designed with floor to ceiling windows and sits atop a seaside bluff that gives you a gorgeous panoramic view of the ocean, as well as the surrounding redwood groves. With any luck it will be a clear day, which would give you an opportunity to view Catalina Island in the distance and perhaps a dolphin or two. Can you imagine how perfect that would be?

In addition, this 3.5-acre location exudes serenity with beautifully landscaped gardens and lush green grounds. Your guests will arrive and walk along a stone walkway going past pine trees, gardens and a meditation pond.

Once inside, the church itself is stunning. With its use of steel and various woods, and plenty of glass, this chapel is a true gem. The chapel also comes equipped with an array of flowers throughout the facility, both inside and outdoors. Wayfarers Chapel has so much variety in backdrops throughout the facility and outdoors that your photos will truly be remarkable. Plus, if time permits, located just .2 miles down the street is the Abalone Cove Shoreline Park, which is a fun location to take a few more photos just above the beach and coastline.

Wayfarers can accommodate up to 100 guests for wedding ceremonies, but they do not allow receptions.
