Wayfarers Chapel

I recently got married at the Wayfarer’s Chapel! There could not have been a more beautiful place to get married. I absolutely am in love with the chapel!!! We were married in December at 4 pm. We chose 4 pm to have the sunset. We live in Florida, and the planning and appointments worked well with us. The chapel has many rules and regulations, which at first may seem inconvenient, but, the day of my wedding, everything went smoothly. No issue whatsoever with the chapel. I attribute it to the hard work, professionalism of the people who work at the Wayfarer’s Chapel sticking to the rules. Reverend Terry married us, she is such a sweet and kind woman, we absolutely loved her. Thank you, Wayfarers Chapel for having such an amazingly beautiful place, and for making the experience special. Photos will come out Amazing!!!

Really impressed with the Lloyd Wright (Frank Lloyd Wright’s son) chapel that orchestrates glass, wood, stone, with hills, sky, trees, flowers, and ocean as a backdrop. A definite sanctuary that will make you want to stay and contemplate life. Peaceful setting with a nice rose garden and sloping shaded lawn in the back for more solitary meditation.
Overall, the sanctuary is beautiful and I regretted having a dead cell phone and not having a camera with me. See other Unilocaler’s pictures which are great. Thanks to others…
P.S…reminds me of the setting at the end of the movie in Star Wars Episode IV.

This is a truly a stunning church. My husband and I came to visit this church after seeing the gorgeous pictures online. It is situated on top of a hill overlooking the ocean. The glass walls and ceiling allow you to truly be one with nature and appreciate the beauty that surrounds you. There is a bench you can sit on to take in the coastal view. This is such a great site to visit. It is an absolute must. It is just simply breath taking. It is free and there are bathrooms available.

I’ve always known the Wayfarers Chapel as the Glass Chapel! The very first time I’ve been here, I remember going on a field trip back in high school and this chapel was our very first stop. If I’m not mistaken, I paid close attention to the streets we took in order to revisit the different places we went to that day. One week after, I went back here with my family! That’s crazy I even remembered it too.
Now that I’m able to drive and go on countless adventures, I like coming here to hang out mostly. You can come over for picnics, chill to read a book, lay on the grass, enjoy the view, check out the chapel, pray… enjoy the nature feel. Meditate even. It’s so peaceful and relaxing.
This chapel is very popular for weddings and other occasions. I have yet to witness an event here. It must be even more beautiful when fully decorated. It’s already a beauty within itself. If you plan on having a huge wedding, this is not the place for you. The chapel probably can hold only about 75 – 100 people. It’s a perfect, intimate chapel for a wedding. I say, re-​think your guest list Hehehehehe!
It’s free to come over. Parking is also free and ample.
You’re sure to be in awe, no doubt!

Just a beautiful place to go relax, meditate, pray, or just even look out into the ocean. The view is amazing. If you wana just pass by, it’s free but as hey say donations are welcomed.
The garden is kept tidy and the chapel as well. A lovely chapel to hold a wedding ceremony.

Free parking lot, gorgeous ocean views, stunning architecture. If the chapel is not in use you may soak in nature from a truly unique perspective. Cleverly designed to integrate the outdoors, the cozy glass chapel showcases the towering trees and gorgeous California sky above to their best advantage. A wonderful, little historic gem in So Cal for both tourists and local residents.
I went on a Wednesday and was able to wander the beautifully tended gardens, as well as the chapel, quite peacefully. Clean restrooms available in the visitors center. A self-​guided walking tour brochure packed with information available for a suggested donation of $ 1.

The chapel is a work of abstract, asymmetrical art! The inclined architecture and very open glass concept make it a one-​of-​a-​kind chapel.
The garden, the view, the fresh air make it a great place of sanctity and sanctuary!

This chapel is absolutely gorgeous. I mean when you look at pictures, it’s one thing, but to finally see it up close, you’re just in awe of the beauty of the architectural design to the flawless natural beauty of it just sitting in a peaceful quiet area surrounding by the Ocean. When you walk in, limited pews of chairs are for guests and the front is simple, but gets the job done. Sometimes simple just works and let everything else just naturally fall into place. Beautiful!

Recently attending a wedding at Wayfarers, it was great to find another LA spot with great views of the Pacific.
The chapel constantly hosts weddings and is the most gorgeous that I’ve been in. With their glass walls, there is so much natural beauty that I was distracted for parts of the ceremony as I daydreamed at the surroundings.
As you step out the front doors of the chapel, the Pacific Ocean and fresh air hits you and you almost forget you are in LA. Keep in mind that this is also a tourist landmark spot so there is almost always people roaming the grounds and giving themselves a quick tour.

What a beautiful chapel. It overlooks the ocean and has beautiful views. I went here yesterday for my cousin’s wedding, and it was absolutely extraordinary! Glass chapel sitting on beautiful and well manicured grassland with views of the water. For a November wedding, 4pm was perfect for us to start– 30 minute ceremony– and then take pictures while watching the sunset. Well put together and planned!
Cheers!

Came here this past weekend with my Girlfriend and my parent. I had been in this area before but never to this location. My parent had always wanted to bring me, as it was always described as beautiful. The Trip is well worth the drive and a «Must» visit.
The view is a gorgeous view of the beach with a lovely small garden and a masterful architecture chapel. The grounds are superb. This is a lovely place to just take your loved one or spend some solitary time. In addition, no matter which way you drive in from the view along the drive is gorgeous.
Whether in the area or not, this is a must visit.

Such a beautiful, serene place. It doesn’t take someone who is religious to appreciate the gorgeousness of the natural light flooding the chapel, the delicate symmetry of the wooden beams arching over the ceiling, or the juxtaposition of the structured glass to the trees just outside.
I was lucky enough to stop by when there wasn’t a ceremony taking place, and we practically had the whole chapel to ourselves. Take some time to admire it, maybe sit in the pews and meditate in the relaxing atmosphere of the place. They have collection boxes where you can donate to presumably maintain the chapel and grounds. Once you go outside, you’ll be treated to sweeping views of the ocean, and nicely trimmed lawns with a rose garden.
I just checked out their website for wedding info, and it looks like they welcome couples of all denominations, and same sex couples! How awesome is that? It’s a little pricey to use it as a venue… here are the prices copied from the website–
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday $ 2,300.
Tuesday $ 1,500.
Friday, Saturday, Sunday $ 2,900.
Saturday weddings at 4pm and 6pm $ 3,400 (Aisle candles included).
but hey, I think it is a reasonable price, considering it’s taking place in such a picturesque site.

This place is magical and Gorgeous! I don’t believe I need to write much as allllllll my pictures will do it more justice!
I discovered this place after seeing it in movies and t. v and I immediately researched it and was pleasantly surprised to discover it was in L. a! Wayfarers is located along a cliff across the road from a local small park and beach, so the view is definitely beautiful! The whole area is smaller then expected but the workmanship on the gardens and actual chapel part is absolutely breathtaking! We actually laid out a sheet and took a little nap in the garden off to the side while we waited for friends to arrive. Inside the Chapel the light reflects throughout and the energy is serene with a touch of unspoken magic. People sit quietly and smile politely at the many people milling about trying to take their perfect photo. Considering the beauty of this little gem, I highly doubt it is possible to take bad picture of the place!
I’ve seen pictures of this Chapel set up for Jewish, Indian and Catholic/​Christian weddings, so don’t be afraid to have your wedding here!
They also have a small visitors center with odds and ends to buy and restrooms to use!
Please come here at least once in your life! You won’t regret it!

Beautiful chapel by architect Lloyd Wright. The glass ceiling and walls make you feel like you are in the forest!
My friend got married here and the place is really breathtaking. Not only is the chapel surrounded by beautiful trees, but it’s also on the top of a hill with gorgeous ocean view. There is also a fountain and a rose garden outside of the chapel so plenty of photo opportunities.
This place gets booked quickly for weddings. Even on a Tuesday there was more than one ceremony which is why they are a bit strict on the hours you can access the chapel, take pics, rehearse, etc
It is a small chapel but there was no AC during my friend’s ceremony so you can imagine how hot all of us were.
Other than that, the place is beautiful and magical!

I was on my way to see the Korean Bell of Friendship in San Pedro, CA, when my friend, Jennifer N. texted me and suggested that I visit Wayfarers Chapel. I had seen the sign for the chapel, and passed it, not knowing how special it was. I turned the car around, parked, and walked around in awe… I am so glad I saw and listened to Jennifer’s text. She was right again! This place was fantastic!
The glass structure is man-​made and it compliments the natural environment — the sky, the ocean, the land — it all comes together here in this place! The views, the architecture, the landscaping, the fountain, the sound of nature in the trees… it’s awesome!
What really stuck me was a plaque that read, «Pause for a moment, wayfarer, on life’s journey. Let these waters restore your soul and nourish your inner being.»
Next time, I will take the time and go on the self-​guided tour. I briefly passed by the Points of Interest. I want to really focus and tune into the serenity and harmony here. And «pause for a moment…»

There is nothing more that can be said about Wayfarers Chapel that hasn’t been said already. Free parking, public restrooms, ocean views and a beautiful chapel surrounded by nature. Please note that access to the chapel right before, during and after a wedding is limited to guests only.

Me and my husband got married at the Wayfarers Chapel in May 2015. The chapel is breathtaking and the views are incredible. We loved everything about it! It’s the most magical place to get married. =)
However, the staff that run the wedding ceremonies or answer calls from the main office are beyond rude. They are very inpatient and not understanding to couples. I wish they were more patient, nicer and more understanding. That would have helped our wedding planning phase be more enjoyable and less stressful. I dreaded calling them to ask a question.

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony here in August of 2014. The staff was divine. Everybody does a wonderful job of making you feel special. The chapel is the most beautiful room you’ll ever sit in and the grounds give you the best feeling.
I had an awesome experience here and I highly recommend stopping by if you’re ever in the area to visit.

This is a LA classic in terms of architecture and the design is from the Lloyd Wright. He is one of the sons of Frank Lloyd Wright. The style of the architecture is organic and Lloyd Wright executed this project with the utmost flair and panache that befits a Wright.
Couples pay thousands to have the privilege to tight the knot here. It is an indication of how endearing this place is to many people who thought that this is the place to be married. If you are anywhere near this place it will be worth your while to make a visit, besides Palos Verdes is beautiful place with many blue and turquoise coves.

As a young and clueless teen, I used to come up here with friends late at night because legend had it, this place was haunted, and people have gone missing or had horrible things done to them here. So many dares were made as well as dark scary nights of ridiculousness. Today… obviously the stories were urban legends and tales kids made up to entertain themselves like we did.
This is a beautifully designed «Glass Church» designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. It is well known for its modern architecture and gorgeous ocean views from the cliffs of Rancho Palos Verdes. It has well kept, manicured lawns, lush greens, flowering buds and grand trees. The view from Wayfarers are so romantic, tranquil and recharges my soul.
I had been here back in 2006 for a friend’s wedding ceremony and then again this past weekend for a Baptism. It is just as beautiful then as it is now. Even the drive up the cliffs of the peninsula to get there is absolutely beautiful.
PARKING: There is a private lot that has ample parking spaces and parking along Palos Verdes Drive S.

Eine einzigartige Glaskapelle, auf einem Hügel erbaut mitten in einem Wäldchen aus Redwood-​Bäumen.
Der Blick ist besonders zauberhaft, er reicht bis zum Pazifik und zur Halbinsel Palos Verdes.
Wie man festellen konnte ein sehr beliebtes Trauhaus^^
