The Sanctuary at Skyline is like having a outdoor wedding - only better because everyone is comfortable! The soaring wood paneled ceiling and spectacular glass wall are impressive by day and becomes absolutely stunning at night; the feeling is intimate and personal. Contemporary in design, the Sanctuary features comfortable chairs and a movable alter platform, allowing for various seating configurations accommodating up to 250 seated guests. It can also be easily arranged to hold a more intimate group. Our pipe organ remains one of the few pneumatic organs in use in the Bay Area. This instrument may be played by our Music Director or your qualified organist. The sound is dramatic, to say the least, and adds a tremendous depth to your music selections. Also available is a grand piano. The Sanctuary also can be arranged for a harpist, choir or string quartet. Although this space is acoustically alive, we do have microphones available for use; which include a lectern microphone, a hand held (or stand held) mic and two wireless microphones. We provide a Wedding Coordinator, who will assist you with preferred vendors, organize the rehearsal and support you the day of your wedding - to make sure the Sanctuary is perfect, light and temperature controls are set and that everything runs smoothly on your special day. We value all faith backgrounds and welcome your pastor to officiate, or you may ask to meet with our pastor, Rev. Laurie Manning. She will offer three counseling sessions and then two more to prepare your personal ceremony. You are also welcome to use our Music Director or bring in musicians of your choice. Our facilities are ideal, our prices are reasonable and our restrictions are few.

Karen and Neal's Wedding
Beautiful views, convenient, clean, great ceremony location, easy parking.
From the vendor:
I loved how this couple honored their family and friends by including them in the ceremony! For instance: Neal chose his business partner, a woman, as the best man and Karen had her brother stand up with the bridesmaids! The wedding party was well coordinated and formally dressed and look great! Neal's family is from a big ranch in Texas and has a unique family tradition of being married over Texas soil. They accomplished this feat by having a young relative carry a very nicely carved wooden box full of dirt brought from the ranch and place it on the alter platform so that it lay between the minister and the couple during their vows. I always encourage couples to make it personal for themselves and their family. It is this example of tradition that will be remembered long after the flowers fade.
