Nestled in the center of a twenty-one acre, beautifully landscaped campus, is the twelve-story Crystal Cathedral, one of Southern California's most spectacular wedding settings. Designed by the world-renowned architect Philip Johnson, the Cathedral resembles a four-pointed, crystal star, and has been hailed as one of the great architectural wonders of the world. Twelve thousand shimmering panes of glass are enclosed within a white web-like steel truss frame forming translucent walls and ceilings that allow the beauty of nature to encompass every gathering and celebration held within.
Designed by Richard Neutra, the Arboretum has received international recognition for its architectural beauty. With its fountains, lights, mirrors, and gardens, this extraordinary sanctuary can provide a cherished setting for both small, intimate weddings, and large regal ones.
In the cool of a summer evening, or the warmth of a winter's day, the beautiful Walk of Faith Garden, with its fountains and serene waters, is a lovely place for a man and woman to pledge their vows to each other. Nearby, Christ, The Good Shepherd, carved from bronze, extends His hands in an expression of love.
High above Orange County, with a view of Saddleback Mountain to the east, and Catalina Island to the south, the Chapel-in-the-Sky can be a "little bit of heaven" for a bride and groom making their vows of love and trust.
The Crystal Cathedral Campus is freeway-close to all of Southern California, situated at the hub of North Orange County where the Santa Ana (5), Garden Grove (22) and Orange Freeways (57) meet.
