Vanessa C FBC is truly special and unique. I came here on my search for churches to be married at. My mom said my great grandma was a member of the church and she remembered it being really beautiful, so I was curious and thought it would be a sentimental touch to my wedding. Mom was right. The church was a bit more contemporary on the outside than I was looking for (I like the old gothic look), but looks can be deceiving!! The inside was just gorgeous!! There is a large gated patio with a water fountain that leads you to the side entrance. The main entrance is breathtaking. There are 2 parallel runways lined with a red carpet leading up to the altar. The windows are all beautiful stained glass windows letting in colorful light. There are giant iron chandeliers and a massive organ and cross at the altar. Needless to say, THIS was it! I met with Marcie and then Cindie the wedding coordinator. Let me say, these 2 ladies are simply angels. They both were so incredibly patient, kind, understanding and helpful every step of the way. I went multiple times prior to the wedding and we emailed and texted often. Again, they are truly angels and I felt so blessed to have them for this process. Words cannot express my gratitude. My wedding was not typical, and I was happy to know that the church was accepting of my non-traditional dress color, my very tattooed bridesmaid and our use of a reverend who was our dear friend marrying us. Our wedding was very challenging, not because of the church, but because of Covid, my hair stylist gone rogue and a venue that was in constant crisis. I felt like everything was going wrong, and many times when I would be upset, the only comfort I had was the church, Cindie and Marcie. I would like to also mention Paul who is INCREDIBLY talented!! He is their musician and can play everything from the organ, to the piano and harp. I told him what songs we wanted-again, none of which are traditional-and he played it all perfectly!! The ceremony was my favorite part of the day and I will cherish that part of our wedding always. If you are thinking of having your wedding here-DO IT!!
