Carmel Valley Community Church of the Monterey Peninsula
Located on the border of Carmel and Carmel Valley, this is a modern, non-denominational church with old world charm. Few churches in the area allow an outside pastor or officiant to bring in a wedding party that is not a member of the church, but they have been wonderful to work with. They have a large sanctuary area (with pews for seating) as well as a smaller room for weddings with 20 or fewer people. Rental fees are required but considered a donation. For photos, there is a lovely rose garden as well as a forested area with large lawns.
