About the Space
The sanctuary holds up to 360 people and offers stunning natural acoustics with high stone walls supported by wooden beams. The sanctuary gets plenty of natural light filtered through its ornate stained glass windows but has overhead pendant light fixtures for night events. The building also has a small vintage library, a bright and open parlor, and a foyer connecting both rooms to the Sanctuary. This space is perfect for concerts, speaking engagements, and theatrical performances. In order to book for weddings, please visit our page on WeddingWire. (5,200 sf) This English Gothic Sanctuary was designed by H. Langford Warren. The architect of the chapel was a Swedenborgian and was also the Dean of Harvard’s School of Architecture. The church was one of the country’s first to welcome the marriages of couples of different races. In the 1970s the church opened its doors to marriages of couples with different faiths. Then, in the 2000s, it was one of the first churches to welcome couples in same-sex marriages, before this was legalized by the Supreme Court.

Zaria J. booked an off-site for 75 people
This was an incredibly disappointing experience. Jimmy, the guy who owned the space, was very disrespectful and made it very clear we weren’t welcome in the space. I was hosting an art exhibit and fashion show featuring black queer artists, and he said to me “I didn’t want to give you the space but I’m letting you be here”. He was constantly interrupting our flow of business as we were directing guest. As my artist and models began showing up Jimmy was harassing and belittling them to the point where some artist decided to leave and I lost almost half the models. This lead to major delays in the show and guests demanding refunds for their tickets.
