  Weddings  
  Piedmont Community Church is one of the most beautiful settings for a wedding ceremony in the Bay Area. The historic architecture, its location in the heart of Piedmont, the enchanting courtyard, colorful landscaping, artful sanctuary, and inviting approach to worship are just a few of the many features that couples find attractive. The handicapped-accessible sanctuary seats up to 300 people, and the smaller chapel in the Christian Education complex seats about 100. Facilities are available for private viewing by appointment only, Monday - Friday, 9-4 (summer hours: 9-3). Please contact the office manager, Jean Leahy, at 510-547-5700, or e-mail jean@piedmontchurch.org to schedule an appointment or inquire about a date. After the couple has met with a church minister, a deposit is required to reserve the church for the requested date. It is suggested that arrangements begin at least 6 months in advance. Fees for weddings are as follows:

Appropriate attire is expected of all service providers. No throwing of rice, birdseed, confetti, flower petals, or any other matter is allowed.
