Old World Village provides a glimpse into
the old style of living in which homes, shops, neighborhood
bars and churches are all located next to each other.
While Old World Village is best known for its restaurants,
Oktoberfest, Mardi Gras and
Rathskellar, a beautiful church
stands in the heart of the village. The Old World Community
Church offers services in German,
English and Spanish. The altar at the church says,
"Lassen die Kinder zu mir kommen," or "let the little ones
come unto me."
The Old World Community Church is
located in the charming European village in Huntington
Beach. Marry in Europe without leaving California becomes a
fact as you walk the cobblestone streets and admire the many
murals decorating the homes built in the Bavarian and
Austrian style. The Old World flavor becomes complete in the
Village Church with its antique furnishings and stained
glass window.

Wedding Ceremonies
The Wedding Ceremony states, "Marriage is
a gift of God and a means of His grace, in which man and
woman become one flesh." Therefore, it is most appropriate
that you are planning to accept this great gift of love by
an exchange of vows administered to you by a Christian
ministry.
Old World Village Church makes its facilities available to
all who share a belief in the sacredness of Christian
marriage. All people regardless of background and religious
affiliation are welcome. You are invited to our Sunday
worship services and special worship celebrations throughout
the year.
The chapel accommodates 120 guests. It supplies the silk
flowers and plants in the chapel, the altar decorations,
candles and the unity candle. The usage covers two hours on
the day of the wedding and a rehearsal on an evening prior
to the wedding.
Weddings can be arranged Mondays through Saturdays depending
on availability and the wedding coordinator will be glad to
answer your questions and explain how to reserve a date and
time for your wedding. Special arrangements for weekday
weddings can be made. Please consult the wedding
coordinator.
A Deposit of $200 is required to hold the Date and Time. The
Deposit is non-refundable.
A conference with the minister will be scheduled close to
your wedding to become acquainted and to talk about thoughts
and feelings and the meaning of getting married to make your
wedding a truly inspirational experience.
For weddings at the chapel, the church requests a
contribution towards the cost of maintaining the church and
grounds. The contribution to the chapel which includes the
minister or priest is $550 . Optional expense for musician
is $100.
