Wayfarers Chapel Reviews

We discovered this place several years ago and love to bring our guests there. It is a unique point of 180 degrees of ocean view, and if bells are playing accompanied by sound of pine trees in the wind, you hold your breath and try to photograph this beautiful moment of serenity.

Very unique historical building with great views. Hard to find a more beautiful spot. It's where Jayne Mansfield, Dennis Hopper and Brian Wilson were married. For architectural buffs, the Glass Church was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright's son. On the downside the venue is not large enough for very large weddings, and due to its high demand, the there are many rigid rules in order to quickly process all of the many couple that want to use this beautiful chapel.

Our niece just got married there , and it was absolutely gorgeous! I want my daughter to get married there.As soon as she finds a good man to marry! The architectural design {Lloyd Wright's} is one of a kind.The views are beyond beautiful,definitely my happy place.The grounds are filled with magnificent trees, lush landscaping and a beautiful fountain.In the Glass Chapel it gives you the illusion that you are outside. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
On the down side,there is no outdoor lights for an evening wedding,pitch black meaning no pics after the sun goes down

The Wayfarers Chapel is such an incredible venue. It's located right near coast with a spectacular view of the Pacific and is surrounded by beautiful redwoods. My wife and I got married here in March of 2021 and we are so happy with how everything turned out. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and they were really flexible with all of our requests. The chapel grounds really provide for amazing and scenic photos so depending upon the time of day, you can really capture the magic of a wedding. We are incredibly grateful for the Wayfarers Chapel and we highly recommend that you use them for your special day.

If one drives through Palos Verde, making a stop here and communing with your inner peace, your Supreme Being, or just with Nature, is a must.
The guest house gives extensive information of the Swedborgian religion, the exquisite little chapel is a frequent site of weddings, and the Carillion rings its bells on the quarter hour.
Of course, the views of the Pacific, through the dense foliage and trees, are superb. A much needed "down time" in our frenetic day!

The open beam and glass structure blends so well with the setting that it feels that you are outside. The artfully placed Christmas decorations just added a touch of color. The views are magnificent and even when there are a lot of people there, it is restful.

I was looking for a church to go to for Christmas and found the chapel while searching online. We came for the Christmas Eve candle light service and it was so delightful. The service was well done. The chapel is breathtaking. I hope to come back to visit again.

Tried to get married here, but the wait for a weekend was too long. I visit often just to relax, meditate, or listen to music when they have special events. The gift shop is worth a visit, with interesting books and jewelry and other things you will not see elsewhere.

Your trip to Southern California has probably been busy and you've been in a lot of bustle and noise. Now you've gotten to a scenic drive on cliffs above the Pacific and you come upon this small lovely chapel set in So Cal vegetation, open to all. Since I lived close by for 20 years I've been there with visitors many times and sometimes by myself as part of a leisurely drive.

I was here for a Wedding a year ago. It is a small place but beautiful and romantic. The views are amazing

We enjoyed a stop here while driving around the South Bay. The chapel is beautiful - a nice place to sit quietly and reflect. The grounds are beautiful as well - great views of the ocean and cliffs as well as Catalina island. Visitor center has some nice historical information. Happy we made this stop!

Drove through Palos Verdes from Redondo Beach, very scenic trip to the Glass Church. Church was designed by one of Frank Wright's sons. The tour is self guided and donations are accepted. The small church is surrounded by Redwood Trees and gardens. The ocean views are outstanding. Very peaceful.

This church was really beautiful. The views were amazing. It is worth making the stop on this beautiful drive

An amazing place that you have to see if you are in California! The Chapel is amazing and the view is more than amazing!

Although I consider myself an atheist, the chapel is stunning. More people would go to church if they all looked like this.

Wow... gorgeous architecture, amazing views and a staff that will help! I had to coordinate three weddings here and I am impressed at how perfectly every wedding goes. The location has its own on site coordinators that make sure everything runs smoothly. This place is like clock work because they have an impacted schedule. Be sure to give your photographer a list of photos you would like because they The Wayfarers chapel gives you one hour of photos after your ceremony!

A must see. You can see in as short or long of a visit you’d like. Go in a.m. There is a great short hike across the highway as well.

Personally I've always found chapels a quicker way to connect with my spirituality vs the business of church's. on top of having a healthy respect and love for nature, this chapel has both. My husband and I were married here, really feeling connected with our environment as we not only gazed into each others eyes, but allowed our gaze to fall on the outdoors as the chapel is made of glass. Beautiful pines, birds, blue skies, what better backdrop for such a special occasion. We just recently went back for our 10 year anniversary. Nice little garden and beautiful view overlooking the bluff and water. You really shouldn't miss it.

This small church is mostly glass and looks out over the Palos Verdes coast line. A great place for a wedding!

Having seen this chapel in a couple of my favourite shows, this became a must see for me on a recent holiday. We were there in the late afternoon (managed to slip in between 2 weddings). Absolutely gorgeous and got some awesome photos, fantastic views. Well worth the drive from LA. The staff were very helpful with advising a return time so that we could go inside the chapel and even suggested a nearby place to pass the time.

Beautiful architecture and great example of the work of FLW's son, Lloyd Wright. There is a chapel, nice grounds, rose garden and gift shop building. Go to the restroom corridor and see the historical pictures of the chapel over the years.

The beautiful Wayfarers Chapel located in Rancho Palos Verdes California is a beautiful chapel overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Designed by the son of Frank Lloyd Wright,Frank Wright,this chapel is made almost entirely of glass and nautical type woods.Thousands of couples have "tied the knot" in this scenic location overlooking the beautiful Pacific Ocean in Rancho Palos Verdes.

It is so beautiful and peaceful here. It is a place to calm down and clear ones mind. Beautiful surroundings and a lovely open sanctuary / chapel. Fantastic views. There is a center near the church if you want more information about the chapel and its designer. This is a wonderful short stop along the drive around Palos Verde. Plenty of parking when we were there. Great place to take photos of the ocean and ground around the chapel.

My family went there for a Christmas candlelight service. It was spiritual and magical. Very low key and beautiful. If you want a nice way to break your kids into thinking of the true meaning of Christmas (without the bells and whistles)- the true meaning of Christmas, go there. It was wonderful. And don't forget to look up at the ceiling (when you are all holding candles).

I had been here as a little kid so it was nice going back to see it again. It's really pretty although there was a wedding going on so we couldn't go in the chiurch itself. The grounds are nice though

Small church in the small forest. You don't have to spend a lot of time here but it is a beautiful little church primarily all made of glass. Certainly worth a stop, but unless you want to sit and watch the ocean or absorb the culture you will spend maybe 30 minutes.

I always find peace when I'm in this place. The view is breathtaking. The view combined with the serenity of the surrounding is guaranteed to make one forget anything negative. Take a seat on the bench facing the ocean and just enjoy the view while listening to the birds singing. Or stop at the rose garden and smell the roses. That's priceless!

We visited the Glass Church/Wayfarers Church on a Sunday. It was the first Sunday of the Christmas season so the advent wreath was in the window. There is nice trees and a stunningly beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean from the area. There is also a fountain.

Its a peaceful place to go. Its a wonderful place to also worship.

Lloyd Wright (son or Frank Lloyd Wright) designed the church in the 1940s. It was built between 1949 and 1951.

We have visited a number of times. The views from the glass church with the wonderful trees and landscaping is so nice.

You don't need to be into religious monuments to appreciate this spectacular glass chapel surrounded by trees up on a beautiful bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. In my opinion it's worth a drive from anywhere because the drive on PCH is half the fun, but if you are in the general area and don't check it out you are really missing out on a special experience.

The the glass church is beautiful, and the surrounding landscape breathtaking. The staff at the visiting center were so happy and courteous. Love this place!

Walking into the church and looking out onto the canope of trees is very special and inspiring. If you are into architecture or just happen to drive along the P.V. coast, this is a must see but this is a quick stop only.

Calm, serene, and an architectural gem. Well worth the journey to visit. Cannot State well enough how it fits the location.

Imagine...a chapel made of all glass, nestled in the trees and over looking the ocean!
I have lived I this community for almost 25 years now and have been here many times for weddings, talks or just to come up and enjoy the view.
One of the most unique places in the world!

Beautiful glass chapel with well kept garden grounds and amazing views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, and the Palos Verdes Coast.

We were a guest attending a friend's wedding. Outside of the church looked very modest, but inside is absolutely breath-taking. The architecture is just amazing inside. It was very expensive short visit at the Wayfarers Chapel. Wish we could of spend more time and explore the garden area.

This is a great place to stop and take in breath-taking Palos Verdes Vistas. The chapel is rather a small church made of mostly glass and wood and is nestled into the beautiful trees. You feel one with nature. A great place to stop and reflect and take a moment for yourself.

Wonderful wedding location. The ceremony was perfect. They were organized, and did a great job keeping tourists away during the ceremony.

I live fairly close and decided to visit with my BF who was in town. It's a nice spot, pretty gardens and lots of trees, but nothing really extraordinary other than a chapel made of glass panels. I think there are better spots to visit than this in my opinion.

Unfortunately (for me) there was a wedding party when I was there so I saw it only from outside, but then my host showed me pictures and it's beautiful!

WOW - simply beautiful glass chapel! We visited on a weekday afternoon where we found it fairly busy with other visitors. There is no fee for parking or to view the chapel.
Also enjoyed the gardens adjoining the chapel.

Beautiful and warm. Much architecture can be appreciated and enjoyed by viewing pics or videos. But seeing in person gives a very special welcoming and warm feeling which is not given by the great cathedrals in Europe

How to rate this? It's not, I suppose, a must see, but if you go there and see it you can't help but be impressed and moved by it, by the way it blends with nature, and yet has its own presence. Truly gorgeous. And the accompanying garden, with fountain, is also beautiful.

We went in for a quick visit in between the wedding service. It has nice view, we enjoyed the scenery. When wedding proceeding, visitor can't get in.

We had our grandson’s baptism done. Beautiful place and architecture. The view of the ocean is breathtaking. A good place to visit and we’ll worth it.

Beautiful setting, beautiful views, and more. The stop there is well worth the effort.
The Chapel and grounds are well maintained and amidst incredible coastal views and terrain.
My daughter was married there years ago; all went very well.
The site is well suited for many to see and enjoy the grounds and surrounding areas, as well as the views of Catalina (Island) and the channel and more.

This was just an amazing experience. We visited between weddings and got to enter the church for about 30 minutes. It is beautiful, serene and cathartic. The views were sensational and so are the grounds. I highly recommend this place to visit.

Designed by Frank LLoyd Wright, it is right off the coastal highway. Great attraction for pictures and a great view of the coast when the for rolls in.

My friend had their wedding here and its has one of the best view by the ocean. The little chapel is perfect for small and intimate occasion and highly recommended for weddings.

A great spot to visit on Palos Verde. It is a small church designed by Frank Lloyd Wright's son, it has many glass walls to capture the gorgeous Pacific views, as the church is set high on a cliff. The grounds are beautiful as well, stroll around to enjoy the flowers and views. There is a small interpretive center which provides history of the area and history of the Wrights.

Glass chapel overlooking the Pacific, breathtaking. Plenty of parking and beautiful grounds, this would be a gorgeous place for a small wedding ceremony.

This is a beautiful spot for a wedding, the views from the chapel and grounds are breathtaking. Make a point to check this out

With the expansive glass walls, this chapel has the feeling of a natural sanctuary.
Famous for weddings, it is open to the public all week and is inspirational.

Such a beautiful Chapel with such a fantastic view of the ocean. The church is surrounded by the most amazing landscape, and you can find all kinds of flowers. This is one of my favorite places.

Beautiful place with an amazing view. Is a most place to stop by and enjoy. No cost and the atmosphere is great.

I've heard so many different complaints about people parking in their parking lot when that church isn't in use so people can save a couple dollars extra I mean the laws of the law and they ask politely for you guys not to do it and if they've become more strict but this location has been friendly enough throughout the past 5 to 10 years and they've run multiple hundreds maybe thousands of vehicles parked illegally and when I say let them they had no idea but still this location is absolutely amazing. kudos to hover operates this glass church for a very long time you've kept it up it looks amazing and it's definitely a historical monument on the ocean side and one of the most wealthy parts of California Donald Trump is right down the street with his golf course you guys are a wonderful church that has so much to stand for I went to preschool at st. Peter's preschool. back to what I was mentioning lots of childhood memories this general location is very friendly and it's only going to get better please bear with all the construction going down Portugues. It's definitely worth the wait when it comes on to oncoming and ongoing traffic when it gets congested next to that church it's definitely worth the wait?!!!!; And that's only sometimes once every other year ( constructions on the road)

This is both a beautifully built building as well as a place of worship set within its natural environment.

Lovely views, nice Sunday service (Christian) and music. Stunning setting. Good place to stroll even if not attending a service.

My significant other of twenty years and I were married here in November after falling in love with the serenity and overall architecture. A 6pm wedding we were able to take in the beauty of the late afternoon sun for pictures, begin the wedding as the sun began to set and finish the event up in darkness with the chapel lit by candles. Reverand Masters did a fantastic job and our wedding planner, Diane, was amazing. Both are provided by the chapel (as is the organist) when a couple is married. If you are thinking of a destination wedding or a small (100 people or less) wedding or vow renewal, please think of this beautiful chapel.

We had been visitors a few years prior and are great fans of Frank Lloyd Wright and his son Lloyd Wright (the architect of the chapel). A must see while vacationing turned in to the most wonderful place for our family to gather and fall in love just as we had.

When visiting the Los Angeles or surrounding areas please make this a stop on your trip. Amazing beauty and serenity will make it worth your while.

I decided to run here from my hotel as it was just 1.5 miles away. The garden and grounds are beautiful and the history of the chapel is amazing! This is worth a stop if you are in the area!! So peaceful!!

While planning a spring break trip, I had read on Budget Travel about Wayfayers. It looked beautiful online and I can tell you that the online reviews and pictures do it no justice. First, we went on Palm Sunday, which meant that there was a reenactment of the final days of Christ that was wonderful! The actors were fantastic, the scenery was beautiful, and everyone was very welcoming. The chapel and gardens are wonderful. Do visit the visitors center for some information and a potential postcard. There is no charge, but donations are accepted. If I lived closer, this would be my church home!

Just attended a wedding at the chapel. Gorgeous site overlooking the Pacific. The chapel is beautiful and a picture perfect place to get married. The staff was very helpful arranging the ceremony. Nice spot surrounded by trees. Definitely the place in SoCal for a wedding. Highly recommend.

The gorgeous architecture—full of light and forest magic—combined with the beauty and serenity of the location make this a great destination for any purpose: tourist visit, relaxing interlude, or special event.

Specatular setting into which Frank Lloyd Wright, Jr, placed a glass chapel overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Worth the trip somewhat out of the way on the Palos Verdes Penisula.

Designed by Lloyd Wright, the son of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the simplicity of the Scandinavian-influence design and the way in which it blends in with the surround trees are quite stunning.

The adjacent visitors' centre explains Lloyd Wright design and the origins of the Swedish Lutheran Church. It has a small souvenir counter that supports the church. There is amply free parking adjacent to the church and visitors centre.

The church is closed to the public for one hour at a time for wedding ceremonies. If you are making a special journey to visit , it's worth calling ahead to check on its opening hours especially at weekends when it may be busy.

Got married here and this is a great place with a great view. Would recommend it to anyone. Staff is extremely helpful.

Sitting in a scenic coastline and surrounded by redwoods, it is a gem. Interesting to discover that it was designed by Lloyd Wright, son of the famous Frank.

Given its popularity as a wedding venue we rang ahead to ensure that it wasn’t inaccessible when we arrived.

We sat within for some time appreciating the beauty and tranquillity.

Beautiful place to hold weddings, baptisms. Gorgeous view of the ocean. Park-like setting. A photographer's dream.

Wayfarers is a glass chapel nestled in a grove of redwood trees on 3.5 acres of landscaped gardens, offering panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island. Wayfarers is listed in the US National Register of Historic Places. Located on Palos Verdes South in Rancho Palos Verdes, California - between San Pedro and Redondo Beach. Wayfarers blends into the hillside and may be easy to miss. There is a small visitor's center and gift shop. This Southern California sanctuary made of glass, steel and terra-cotta tile is definitely worth a visit.

The "Glass Church" is a fascinating structure, but very small for church. It seats maybe 100 at most. The church, the setting and grounds are well worth a visit if you're in the area, but not
a sufficient attraction by itself to justify a trip to the south side of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Having said that, on a nice day it's a very scenic drive overlooking the ocean. You could include the Glass Church with a stop at the Terranea Resort and the Point Vicente Interpretive Center. There are picnic tables beside the Center.

This wasn't a "visit". I live on the Peninsula.

I came here for a friends wedding. It is a very pretty place to have wedding although it did get a bit warm. Although it does take a little bit to drive here, it is well worth it as the view and location are breathtaking and one of kind.

As soon as you see the building, you'll instantly recognize it as a classic Frank Lloyd Wright. It's airy and breathtaking. If I have ever imagined a sanctuary, this exceeds expectations. Definitely worth the stop. While you're here, head across the street to Abalone Cove Park for more amazing views.

Our friends booked their wedding at the Glass Church/Wayfarers Chapel. The church is beautiful on the inside and out. The view is gorgeous. For the money spent just for the short moment, we have decided to save the money and book an outdoor wedding for much less somewhere else. However, we had a great time at the wedding. Congratulations to our friend.

This is a beautiful little chapel located above the bay, affording it an astounding view of the water, Catalina, trees, flowers and the gardens surrounding.

It's always a beautiful site overlooking the ocean. One of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen.

The grounds were beautiful, the view of the ocean spectacular and there are no words for how lovely this glass and wood chapel is. The skylights, uniquely designed high windows and glass windows ceiling to floor are breathtaking. It's so peaceful, surrounded by lush vegetation and spectacular views.

I had my son baptism here and it was one of the best thing I did for him. The church is amazing and view is is beautiful. My family was extremely happy my wife love the private ceremony and we couldn't ask for more. The Pastor did a wonderful job and we couldn't ask for more anything more. I could go on for days how great this church is but you truly have to experience for yourself or just stop by and visit.

Tia chapel is one of my favorite places! It is beautiful as not only set in the trees, but the glass makes you feel as if you are out in the trees and closer to God. I attended a Sunday morning worship service and will go back again to be a part of the morning services

Wow worth having a look if you want to have a wedding, some great views very magical place seats around 100 people

Stop here and just breathe deeply and quietly. You need the break as you try to slow down in a terribly busy LA environment.

Ohm.

This is a beautiful spot to catch your breath, take a walk, sit with a friend, take some pictures,enjoy some serenity, . . . check it out!

I wish we could have gone inside, but just being outside was great too. There was a wedding in progress when we were there...

What can I say... my son was married at the church and my grand children have baptized at the church.
The only issue we ever had were all the tourists not having respect towards others.

I often come here as I was baptized 40 years ago. I'm blessed to have had the opportunity to become a part of my Christian faith. It over looks the beautiful pacific Coast and a view of Catilina island. They have a great gift shop full of spiritual items. They also have a serene garden. I walked inside of the glass church as I call it and sat down to pray. The silence was so peaceful and the sound of a small waterfall made me feel so relaxed. After my prayers, I walked out to be embraced by nothing but beauty. They also have a path made from bricks that are ingraved of memories of loved ones who have passed and loving sayings of love to those who have gotten married there. You can spend hours there. It is my peaceful place as we all need one.

a Frank Lloyd wright structure...very scenic and a very popular place for weddings.. nice views, nice gardens, meditation or reading benches, nice gift shop and the most awesome Xmas eve service with candles that lights up the whole church with no lights...quite inspirational and magical..it is a must stop and a must visit if you are in the area..very close to Terrenea Resort.

If you haven't seen it, it's a must see. The grounds, the glass church, the ocean views are all amazing. My nephew was married there in June. It has been 4 decades since I attended another relative's wedding there. I was absolutely stunned by how much more beautiful it is now than it was then. It is truly a Southern California treasure.

This chapel is stunning. Rustic, charming and incredible views of the sea... I've been many times for special occasions and this place is a beauty.

My uncle brought us to Wayfarers Chapel while we were visiting in California and it was a pleasant surprise. Upon arrival I wasn't quite sure what we were there to see, but we soon found the chapel made completely out of glass right on the coast. It really is a remarkable sight and the overall atmosphere is very relaxing.

I saw that they do services and weddings. Never know, if the day ever comes for me I would love to get married there. It's a truly beautiful setting.

Oh WOW. I'm so glad I visited this chapel when I was in California. It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. I felt such peace and calm there. In front Standing at the doorway of the chapel looking out, there is a short path to a bench and trees. Here you can look out over the cliff and see the rolling, sparkling ocean, the big blue sky, and the cliffs of Palos Verdes. The church itself is made of what appears to be wood and glass. It is a beautiful place to sing worship.

Don't miss this gem by Lloyd Wright. Beautiful grounds and stunning architecture! Overlooking Portuguese Bend with lighting designed by Eric Wright.

We have toured many churches and cathedrals and this is one of the best. It is not huge, but beautiful. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Attended a wedding here and the location is just stunning. The church was designed by Andrew Lloyd Wright, son of architect Frank Lloyd Wright and was supposedly inspired by looking up at the "cathedrals" formed by groves of redwood trees. From inside the church you view all of the trees growing up outside. Outdoors the view of the Pacific is amazing. The church is situated high up above the bluffs of Rancho Palos Verdes so the ocean views are endless and expansive. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Very quaint chapel over looking the Pacific and nestled in pines - Frank Lloyd Wright influence - beautiful setting for weddings -

Nice place for a quick walk and beautiful views. Great location to highlight the peninsula. Pick up the paper that explains all about the architecture.

I cannot believe I've been around this area for years and never knew about this glass church atop a hill overlooking the Pacific. Unbelievably charming, I would've gotten married here if I didn't care about being married in a Catholic church. Beautiful views!

The most enchanting part of our southern CA trip. It's serene, gorgeous and very welcoming. Highly recommended.

This is so unique and so gorgeous. An all glass church, nestled high on a hill surrounded by lush trees, flowers and greenery. We were even luckier on our visit because there was a bride outside preparing to walk down the aisle. It's like a fairy tale setting and provided some great photos.

I'm not sure if it's wheelchair accessible. I'm sure they likely have a website where one could check on this. We walked quite a few steps uphill to see the chapel. The steps are stone, hand rails provided and they are wide low steps and very easy to climb, even for seniors.

This glass church is beautiful and is guaranteed to take your breath away. The view of the ocean is stunning as well. This venue has been featured in so many movies and T.V. shows and I'm sure you will recognize it when you see it.

The chapel is stunning! The view is breathtaking! Although you have only 2 hours to be at this venue for your wedding, you never feel rushed because the staff is so efficient, courteous and professional. You know how sometimes weddings are too long? Well not here!

The architecture by famous Frank L. wright. Wonderful view of ocean and Abalone Cove. Best to go when there is no event.

Beautiful glass chapel surrounded by spectacular views and gardens. Great place for a romantic walk, sight seeing and photos.

Beautiful......just beautiful!!! But the only downside is they have so many weddings there you're feeling rushed & can't truly enjoy the property. We went on a Saturday around noon & a wedding was ending, about 20 minutes later another party was coming in.

My Aunt and Uncle got married here years ago. It was magical then and now.

To think it was built out overlooking the point and the logistics of it are kind of mind boggling.

It is a very special place. We are lucky it is still sdtanding.

My parents were married here at this beautiful chapel in 1957 and for their 50th wedding anniversary I took them back to visit for the first time since their wedding. A very nice and accommodating minister searched their archives and found the original registry with their names and we also had a brick memorial paver installed in advance as a surprise for them. It was a wonderful time and one I'll always cherish.

We were invited to a wedding here. What a Beautiful Chapel. The grounds were so beautiful for picture taking. The glass openness and the inside decor of the chapel were breathtaking. We had never been here before but would definately recommend it.

I used to visit the Glass Church when I lived in the area so I decided this was one of the places I wanted to show my husband on our visit. The grounds are beautiful but the effect of looking at the sky through the ceiling of the church was amazing. He was impressed how isolated the church seemed to be even though it was right off the street. The views of the coast from the church grounds are beautiful as well.

The glass chapel is a treasure no matter when you go but if you can go on a sunny day, it’s even more beautiful. I happened to go on an overcast Sunday and I believe there’s a different mood when the sun and blue skies arent shining through the glass. The staff at the gift shop are so friendly and helpful. When we arrived they suggested we see the chapel first as a wedding was about to start and if they hadn’t warned us, we would have missed going inside. The chapel is small but lovely to look at. Outside there are beautiful grounds with lots of flowers and a spectacular ocean view. You can expect to easily spend about 1/2 hour here taking in all the beauty. Parking is plentiful and free.

I visited here in 1971 and it was such a phenomenal site, I had to return. While there, the volunteer asked me if I knew why my family had been in the area in 1971 and she said because Sea World had been located about 2 miles down the road..... times change.
If you want to have the opportunity to have a moment to reflect on all of the gifts in your life..... this is the place to visit.

What a breathtaking location with this historic, almost invisible chapel right on the coast in Palos Verdes.

You have gotta see this. Well worth the effort.

I've never seen a glass chapel like this before. It's so amazingly beautiful. The gardens are also very nice, albeit small. A must-see in PV!

Designed by Lloyd Wright, the son of Frank Lloyd Wright, and sits on a cliff with a gorgeous view of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island and north towards the Santa Monica Mountains. The Chapel is made of glass and rock, designed to blend into the flora and fauna of their beautiful gardens. The drive to get there, from either Hawthorne Blvd (Palos Verdes) or Western Avenue (San Pedro) adds another plus - the views are wonderful.

Beautiful church built on a hill overlooking the ocean. You don’t need much time here as the facility is not that large but it is definitely worth checking out.

We heard the bells while we were hiking the Abalone Cove Trail and just happened to notice this lovely little chapel so we decided to stop in. What a lovely place with gardens, an overlook of the ocean, and a lovely glass chapel where they were performing a wedding too.

With two daughters who are big fans of the former Fox hit, the OC we had to stop at the Wayfarers Chapel during a recent visit to the LA area (many of the scenes were shot nearby and the chapel was the site for a wedding in one of the early seasons of the show). We found the chapel quite unique given its outdoor setting and prominent views of the Pacific Ocean. We enjoyed and suggest an afternoon visit heading into sunset.

No fees. Great place for family pictures.

The Glass Chapel is set on a hill over looking the sea. The chapel is made of glass. The wedding pictures turned out beautiful. The grounds are beautiful, very romantic. I would suggest having your ceremony at this beautiful setting. The staff is fantastic, very helpful.. so pleased.

This Chapel is a Gem on Pacific Coast Hwy. Amazing view of the Pacific Ocean. You could show up during a wedding ceremony. But it's ok to explore the area. Beautiful place for pictures.

The chapel and the surrounding are beautiful, and include a cooling fountain on a hot day (a lot of those in LA). Could not go in as they weer having one or more weddings - that part seemed like a bit of an assembly line. But is is well worth the stop to see the redwood and glass chapel and the views.

We stopped here because I’m a huge fan of Frank Loyd Wright and his was built by his son. Parking is on site and free as is visiting the chapel. Be mindful of weddings as they close the chapel to visitors. We were able to go inside in between weddings. There is a dollar pamphlet that is well worth the buck to talk history and design elements of the grounds. There are clean restrooms and a gift shop on the grounds as well. Location is handicapped accessible with handicapped parking close by. We sat in the chapel for about 15 min just taking in the surroundings. Views of the ocean are spectacular. I highly recommend coming out for a visit. Drive is beautiful as well from the Long Beach area.

Went on a Sunday when they were having service. I waited outside until mass was over. Everyone there was gracious and welcoming. It really is a glass house with beautiful views of the ocean. They have a gift shop and there is a small donation box which I feel is appropriate because of the many visitors who come to see the church. Parking was plentiful with a bathroom next to the gift shop.

This place is a classic location for a lot of weddings in the South Bay. The setting is amazing with the glass church in the wooded area. Right on the coast, it is hard to beat.

A charming wonderful little diversion by the ocean. It was well worth the few minutes it took to get to it. And it's totally free. Recommend visiting on a sunny day. It will definitely make you think about the venue you want to get married at.

When ever we have guests from out of town we show them this beautiful glass church that sits on a hill among pine trees and grass overlooking the ocean. It is a peaceful spot 5 minutes from our home that is uniquely built and always impresses!

Wafarers Chapel is one of those unique treasures that you stumble upon. It is not an attraction that one would travel continents to see, but it is absolutely magnificent and well worth a drive.

The Church walls are made of glass, giving a transparent appearance, merging the building to the surrounding foliage. At dusk, the lighting from inside the Church emanates to the outside as a seemingly heavenly glow. You cannot appreciate the beauty at night.

The views on Abalone Cove below are absolutely stunning.

Within this glass temple you view the trees and the ocean. A great place to experience and to meditate

Incredible panoramic views and a beautiful and peaceful place to visit with friends and out of town guests.

Serene and inspiring views. Tranquil place to regroup and just meditate. Flowers, trees, chapel and views are soul soothing. Peace!

What an amazing place to get married word can't not express the beauty of this place . Wouk live to go back to this amazing place one day my niece got married there and I di want to leave !!

The denomination responsible for this chapel stresses the inter connectedness between spirituality and god's creation. The glass Wayfarers' Chapel does this magnificently by placing the house of God 'seamlessly' amid His Creation. This is thanks to the vision of architect Lloyd Wright who designed the space (he personally picked the trees surrounding the building). The place is small, only seats a hundred people. The place gets warm on hot, sunny days. The place gets crowded, because of its beauty and the surrounding views. The place gets exclusive, due to the more than 750 weddings there every year. Be warned, no visitors are permitted inside during weddings. There have been additions, such as the tower and the Visitor Center. But overall a visit is worth it just for the sublime experience of feeling a part of God's creation, and the magnificent views! Free to all. Open 10 am to 5 pm. Check their website for details (wayfarers chapel.org). Donations requested. Enjoy!

The setting of this small chapel is quite serene, right across from the Pacific Ocean. It's great for a 15 minute visit - or a wedding.

We enjoyed our visit. Great small wedding venue. However it does not compare to the chapel in Hot Springs at the Garvan Gardens. The ocean view makes the setting. It is not to be missed if you are driving the PV peninsula.

Always busy because its a popular wedding place. The setting is beautiful which overlooks the ocean and coast. The chapel blends to the surrounding garden and trees. Theres also a welcome visitor center with information and display. Its a MUST stop if you drive on Palos Verdes Drive for a leisure drive.

This is a great little place to stop whilst heading along the cost road....stop in a take in the views and the unusual church. there was a wedding there when we visited so access was restricted (rightly so!) but still worth stopping by

This is a must visit for all who visit Los Angeles! A very small and beautiful chapel overlooking the pacific ocean, stop in at the visitor center, they very friendly staffers who will tell you all about the history of the chapel. The garden areas are beautiful and provide great photo opportunities. Parking is limited.

Easy to find, lots of parking and a beautiful view.

I was impressed when I walked up, I didn't know what to expect. Looking through the pine trees I can see the Pacific Ocean stretch on for miles. When you walk into the church it is so simple yet beautiful. A true building made of glass with a simple fountain located in the corner.. Not really into religion but truly a wonderful piece of architecture that if you have a chance you should stop by and see.

When I was there no weddings no nothing just a guy in there taking selfies.. When he was done I had the church to myself for 10 minutes.

This church holds special meaning for me in that I was married in this beautiful chapel in 1976! It's intimate and serene setting is like no other as you feel so close to nature and God. Years later, both of my children were baptized there also. On my last visit, I stopped in to say a prayer for a dear friend fighting cancer.

This is a must sightseeing area in PV whenever I escort my international guests around. These are the highlights: overlook of the gorgeous Pacific coast, unique glass church, beautiful garden, and quiet hillside. We visit it at least yearly or more with our guests. One of my friends got married there--memorable experience!

One can walk across the street after visiting the Abalone Cove Park to visit this church. If there are no service, one can walk inside the church. There is a garden in the back.

Very pretty coastal drive to get there. Views are amazing. Chapel is small, very serene. Have taken visitors from out of state here, really enjoyed taking pictures of the ocean views.

A quiet, peaceful place. The Chapel is made of glass. If you visit during a sunny day, you can see sunlight goes through the glass roof and wall.

My husband had learned about the glass church from a website with interesting spots to visit in the U.S. and by coincidence, we were staying right up the road from there at a resort. We stopped here one day in the late afternoon - we enjoyed our time viewing the beautiful church and walking through the lovely grounds. We also enjoyed our time in the guest center too which had interesting facts and information regarding the architecture and plans of the church - it also had some pretty jewelry and trinkets for sale. A definite worthwhile stop if you are in or nearby the area.

After a hike at Abalone Cove our hiking group visited the Chapel. It was the highlight of my day; a peaceful, restful, quite spot of great beauty. The gardens/trees were perfectly manicured and the small chapel is quite stunning (designed by the son of Frank Lloyd Wright). The Bells in the tower sound every 15 minutes. For a few minutes you can be transported out of our hectic world into a place of serenity.

Can't help but see beauty in and out of this place. If you are lucky enough to get married here you will have the most wonderful photos. I understand the architect Lloyd Wright was inspired by the redwood forests of Northern California and their natural place of awe and wonder.

This place is open seven days and ready for all wayfarers in the road of life, a definite treasure in Palos Verdes!

This is a neighborhood small chapel. Most of the visitors come here for non-religious reason. This chapel locates at a beautiful location over see the ocean, the cliffs, and the beautiful coastlines.
Many people choose to have wedding ceremony here. In the weekends, there may be some wedding ceremony going on there. When there is no on-going event, you may walk into the small glass chapel.
Everything is enjoyable in this small, elegant chapel, and its quiet environment.

No matter what your religion, you need to make a stop this magical place at some point in your lifetime. The views are breathtaking and the church itself is an amazing piece of architecture. Best place in the world to get married. I've also been there for Sunday mass and it very lovely. The gardens are gorgeous. There is nothing negative to say about this place

This church was built by Frank Lloyd Wright's son, Lloyd Wright. They average more than two weddings per day. This is worth checking out. They have restrooms on the property, beautiful plants and grass areas, amazing views of the water and coast and a must see chapel. Don't miss this one!

The secret to understanding and therefore appreciating at a higher level is to remember that this is a Swedenborgian chapel; one of the very few in the US. Several hundred years ago, this blend of orthodox Christianity and Norse paganism was created. It is the gods of the woods dressed up in Christian garb. This is why it is in the woods and covered withy trees -- a rarity in this part of SoCal. That is, it is not just beautiful, but also deeply meaningful. I doubt the wedding parties care, and the church does a good business in renting our its chapel. But to go there in an "off" hour and be alone in the surroundings might help you see the gods of the woods around you.

Worth a stop, just for the views. Serene and peaceful and beautiful. I've been visiting Wayfarers for many years. A friend was married here in a gorgeous ceremony, and was very happy with the services provided.

Lovely gardens and beautiful chapel. Well worth a stop if you are in the area. Glass chapel overlooking the Pacific is a popular choice for Weddings for obvious reasons. Free, and a welcome peaceful stop in a busy City. The gift shop is also very reasonably priced and worth a look.

This little chapel has a great view and is very tranquil place. Perfect place for a small wedding or service. Again, very peaceful!

The first time I visited here, in the 1980s, I fell in love with the church and the view and tried to marry here - but it was booked solid for the year.
Nearly 25 years later, I took some friends here who were visiting from 2000 miles away, and they looked at each other and said,”We want to get married here.” So they did - years later, after a certain court decision that made it legal for them to marry. And I got to be in their wedding.
It’s the most beautiful church I’ve ever been in, so be warned: you might want to get married here, too.

It's a truly beautiful location and when you walk in the church you feel connected to a higher power. I go there sometimes in the day just to sit and feel the light surrounding me.

Amazing history of this most beautiful piece of architecture that sits atop a bluff over looking the pacific ocean. Frank Lloyd Wright and Lloyd Wright (architectural geniuses) crafted lovingly this glass church where weddings abound. The grounds are lovely to meander through if you are looking for a peaceful and or meditative time. The church itself is all glass and surrounded by Redwood trees planted at the inception of the church. It integrates nature in keeping with the Swedenborg's religious teachings of life/nature/respect. A spectacular place to sit on a bench in many of the garden areas and just take in the moment (without cellphone in hand). Getting there requires a little know how. Just keep a look out for the sign for Wayfarer Church. It is off Palos Verde Drive just after you pass the entrance to Abalone Cove Parking.

This is the most beautiful chapel in one of the most beautiful spots in the world. I make sure whenever I have guests that they visit this chapel and it is just down the road from a spot to watch the whales from the cliff top.

If you go during a weekend , there may be a wedding . If that is the case , you will not be able to walk in and get the full effect of this stunning place. Peaceful as well as interesting history .

My wife and I were married at this beautiful place in June. It's small, elegant & views that can not be beat. I would not have chosen any other place to exchange our vows.

The staff was very helpful through the process and the ceremony was beautiful. If you're looking to have a large ceremony this place most likely won't work, as I think the max seating is 100. We didn't have the reception there and I'm not sure that they offer that. We ended up renting out a beach house at Redondo Beach.

All of the recommended photographers and video crews that the chapel recommended were also great. All of my guest had a wonderful time and were blown away by the views and gardens. The wedding photos also look like something out of a magazine.

If you're looking for a beautiful and quaint place to get married, this place would be at the top of my list.

Wedding chapel in "revenge" but more importantly a structure that reflects its environment with the palos verdes stone work and glass walls open to sky and sea.

Beautiful, peaceful setting with a great view of the Palos Verdes coastline. Fantastic glass church with incredible views of natural settings. Great place for a small wedding!

Whenever we have friends or family visit we make it a point to stop at wayfarers chapel. The view is incredible, the well thought out gardens (a planting representing each state) and the design that Wright created showcases the trees in the main window. It is a stop that should not be missed. AND if you are lucky enough to be there for a wedding you will hear the bell chimes when they are pronounced husband and wife!

We attended Easter sunrise service held on the lawn overlooking the ocean. The view was truly beautiful! The rose garden and gardens in general are charming and lovely... roses, bougainvillea, and bird of paradise to name a few! The chapel itself is very unique in that it is totally glass and wood and so celebrates the beautiful setting. Additionally, the walls are lined with plantings so it feels very organic. It is a peaceful setting for prayer and contemplation.

oh man, our friends got married here and it was lovely. it overlooks the water, and there aren't many buildings nearby. it's a very serene and beautiful location. fantastic location for a wedding! very peaceful. would love to visit it again.

I had tried bringing my kids here several times but there always seemed to be a wedding going on. Finally, last summer we managed to stop when no one was there. This Frank Lloyd Wright chapel is absolutely amazing. It’s towering glass walls and ceiling is surrounded by pines so close to the sea can’t be beat for peace and tranquility.

We didn’t make a long stop because when you have teenagers this is maybe a 20 minute jaunt to look at the chapel and walk through the grounds. But they did seem to really enjoy it as it’s an architectural experience that you won’t find anywhere else. We ended up seeing it featured in some TV show and it was also exciting for the kids to point at the television and yell, “hey we’ve been there!“

This is a lovely cozy church, with great views of the coast. It is a famous site for weddings. The architecture is lovely, and one gets a sense of being nestled in the trees.

located not far from Trump golf course. It is a very beautiful stained glass church. Worth a stop if driving by on the Palos Verdes coast drive.

This was my 2nd visit to the chapel and I wanted to share its beauty with my sister and my parents. It was a gorgeous day and we spent a lovely hour or so walking the grounds, taking photos, and just enjoying the flowers and greenery. My daughter hopes to get married there some day and I wanted my parents to see it in case they're not able to be there in person when the time comes. The staff in the visitor's center were very cordial and even helped us with a suggestion for lunch nearby, which was wonderful as well. All in all, a special day.

I was told of the glass chapel by my cousin and was planning to visit after breakfast. Unfortunately my husband got called into a meeting that was not on the schedule so we had to drive past. It looked fantastic though. Very beautiful. Perfect place for a wedding.

Many weddings, may from as far as Japan, but still, you can enter the chapel in-between. The son of Frank Lloyd Wright made his own mark, here.

Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright's son, this little Chapel is a lovely sanctuary......the trees are beautiful...they invite you to stop and relax and reflect on the beauty of nature and your connection to the Devine.
So sweet!

lovely and peaceful chapel that is nice to spend some time appreciating and saying a prayer or two. We had wished we brought a sweater and we could have enjoyed our time longer since we were cold we left quickly.

I was married here in 1983. I came back for a visit as I was in the area. The weather was great as always and the view to Catalina was fantastic. This is one of the best wedding places and the grounds are kept in beautiful condition. This chapel is a beautiful Frank Lloyd Wright creation and is a Swedenborg church. This is a perfect place for a short visit, walk around the garden and get a view inside in between weddings.

The church itself is absolutely gorgeous and peaceful. The beautiful wooden pews combined with the glass and wood structure bring the outdoors indoors. The landscaping and surrounding ocean views are stunning also. A must see if you're in the area!

Went to the Glass Church, what a beautiful, peaceful, transcending, place. On Saturdays expect to view between weddings. Great picture location with bluff views of the ocean.

This small, lovely chapel has many great features if you know what you are seeing.

Of course, first and foremost, this is a house of God. Anyone who would rate this as "Terrible" has no sense of propriety. We are not particularly religious, but respect those who are and enjoy visiting God's house in places around the world. Besides, it is not "Terrible", that is someone's unrealized expectation, not this chapel. It is not Magic Mountain for goodness sake.

There are many stairs but I believe that there is wheelchair access.

The location is truly serene. On exiting the car and reaching the (unfortunately closed) chapel we immediately experienced a relaxing atmosphere with a gentle sea breeze blowing through the tall pine trees. If you are seeking God, it should not be difficult to find his hand at work here.

We were there late in the day, after closing, so there were few people, all were Japanese tourists. With a crowd of people around, the experience might have been different. I cannot say how crowded it gets.

The chapel is itself stunning in its simplicity. Wright, Jr. carried on his father's use of linear design and the structure evokes memories of some of the senior's many works. Vaulted ceilings with glass walls make the most of this location which is on a bluff overlooking open land and the ocean. Catalina will appear in the distance on a clear day.

This was the final stop on our short, one day road trip to see PV, and it was a good stop.

We loved our visit there and would definitely return.

Words cant describe how wonderful the place was. Lushes green trees and bushes, amazing architecture of the chapel. Easy to find parking and the place wasnt that big that it tires you. A good place to sit around and take pictures. Sooo worth it! Ohh just fyi, this is the chapel in 90210!

Regardless of your faith, you will enjoy this excellent structure made of glass walls and with unbelievable view. You could spend an afternoon in the peninsula visiting the chapel, have lunch at one of the local restaurants and end up watching the sunset from Starbucks at the Golden Cove.

I recommend the Wayfarers Chapel to everyone traveling to LA. The structure and grounds are perfectly integrated with the scenery. It's just beautiful.

Such a unique spot...peaceful and restorative. Sadly not everyone respects the peace....people should teach their children respect and not ruin the experience for others.

best kept secret in South Bay. Near the trump golf course. Very serene and quiet . Nice for a Sunday drive. Good resturants nearby Grounds with still pretty flowers despite the CA drought and water shortage. Go and visit you will not be dissappointed

Truely one of the most beautiful churches you will ever visit . Small glass church is truely amazing on the inside . Outside look over the Pacific Ocean you know God is great recommend it to all

We were in the area again on a Sunday so went to the Glass Church/Wayfarer Chapel. This is one of my favorite chapels with its beautiful glass architecture. The views of the Pacific Ocean are also stunningly amazing.

I had been wanting to attend service at this chapel since I saw photos of it on a TV show and subsequently researched it. The chapel was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and is used for both religious services and events, mostly weddings. I can see why, the service was moving, the chapel and grounds lovely and comforting. Everyone was very nice and there were cookies and coffee after the service. The chapel was easy to find, well marked and there was plenty of parking the Sunday we went.

My first memory of Wayfarers Chapel was attending a wedding there as a young child. I decided at that moment that is where I wanted to get married and I did just that. My husband proposed to me on the bench overlooking the ocean.

We recently brought our kids here to show them where we got married. Wayfarers Chapel is mesmerizing with its beauty. I would love to attend a church service one of these days. The gift shop is great. Wayfarers Chapel is worth a visit to experience its beauty and history.

What a classic building by Lloyd Wright!! Amazing to sit inside the church and feel like you are outside. Nothing can touch the view - peacefulness and quietness of this gem! Go just before noon and hear the bells while looking out into the ocean.

Definitely worth the stop.

My husband and I were considering this location for our wedding. But since we live on the ocean we decided to have it in our backyard. The views of the ocean are amazing at this location and it's small (150) and intimate. If you are looking for an ocean view, nice, quite location for your event. This is the place for you.

We are not member of the congregation, but live near-by and recently had our son baptized here. Absolutely stunning even when it isn't a clear day.

Been there several times.Took my son there when he was doing a school report on the places of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. The staff was very helpful with his report.Also, I took a friend of mine to see it who was visiting from out of town. The staff keeps it spotless and the grounds are beautiful On a clear day you can get awesome ocean views and pics!

Heard of the glass church but never visited, we went there on Sunday between the rainy and cold days. The views were beautiful, so was the church.

Worth a visit!! Breathtaking view and the church is perfect. I didn't go inside coz there's a baptism ceremony going on but still it's worth the visit.

This chapel (seating capacity of my estimate of +/-150) is an extremely popular site for weddings. The church is known to locals as "The Glass Church" for it's wood, stone, and mainly glass architecture. The grounds are a gorgeous display of grass, plants & trees, and with the ocean and Santa Catalina Island as a backdrop, brides and grooms couldn't do better for having their wedding pictures taken right there on the grounds. The church is definitely off the beaten path on the south side of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, with only Palos Verdes Drive South as the access road, but this isolation definitely adds to the charm. If you are interested in having a wedding here, contact the Church ASAP. Trust me, this is the most gorgeous and romantic spot for a wedding in Southern California.

The chapel and the grounds are beautiful! The view of the Pacific Ocean is great! The people in the gift shop are very helpful and very knowable.

I’ve always wanted to see this place so I’m glad I got the opportunity to do so! It was built by Frank Lloyd Wright’s son, Lloyd Wright and features many of the geometric patterns that they’ve become famous for. Looking at the inside of the chapel is like being in Rivendell, the use of glass and wood blends well with the trees around it. there’s also a rose garden and some great ocean views as well. There are a lot of weddings hosted which can attract some frustrated, stressful people under pressure (witnessed one man screaming at his child in the car) and you only have a limited time during odd hours (think 1:00 or 3:00 for example) in order to look inside, but it is still a lovely place that I think people should take a little time to see for themselves.

This is a beautiful church & an amazing place to get married. We attended a wedding here while the sun was setting & it was perfect! Bonus that I am a Frank Lloyd Wright fan.

Out on a walk and stopped to explore. What a beautiful, peaceful setting high on the hill overlooking the ocean and Catalina. Lovely chapel and Gardens to rest and reflect. Open to the public and very welcoming. Well worth the stop!

If you're driving along the ocean in Rancho Palos Verdes, take a few minutes and check out this beautiful, tranquil small chapel. It's views and serenity are very special!

The chapel was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Jr and the visitor's center by his son. Beautiful chapel among the trees on a hill overlooking the ocean. Fantastic location for a wedding or event.

Everybody should go, the church is right under my house, Its beautiful. There is a small water fountains too!! its cute.

Extremely unsafe parking lot, it is not well signalled and they have some sort of metal quills that break tires. Will never be back to a place where safety doesn’t come first despite receiving tourist. We don’t have those things in Canada, what we have is good signals to direct people within parking lots.

Beautiful chapel surrounded by lush trees, plants, flowers, lawn and views of Catalina Island in the distance. Docents and a gift shop help make this a memorable visit.

Our kids and grandkids have recently moved to this area so I have been having lots of fun exploring! I had heard about the Wayfarers Chapel, and when I finally was able to go in person it did not disappoint! It is somewhat of a circuitous drive to get here, tho a most lovely one along the cliffs overlooking the bright Pacific Ocean. As you will read in other reviews, the architecture is noteworthy for a reason -- it was designed by Lloyd Wright, the son of Frank Lloyd Wright. The chapel is tiny by all measures, yet so grand in beauty and spirit. I just happened to come at noon on a Wednesday and was immediately drawn in by the large sign in the parking lot announcing Wednesday noon prayer service. I hurried up the path to the chapel, enjoying the ferns and lush growth under tall redwood trees. One could not help but be aware of the sparkling ocean spread out below, a truly breathtaking setting. The service was led by a young and pleasant pastor. There were on this day only a handful of attendees, but all participated in sharing a prayer request. One feels so strongly the presence of God in this chapel so close to nature. All the walls and the ceiling as well are constructed of glass, so guests truly feel the power of nature surrounding them. After the service I had but a few moments to further explore the property and do very much want to go back. Be sure and not miss the lovely gift shop on the uphill side of the parking lot. The staff there were very friendly and helpful. This is a very sacred space you do not want to miss!

One of the most beautiful chapels I have ever seen. Although I am not Christian myself, I often go to Wayfarers Chapel to stroll around between weddings for the beauty and serenity that it offers. The views are spectacular and the building is quite lovely. It is located along a scenic route that winds along the Ocean in Palos Verdes. A wonderful place to get married, bring out of town guests, or to find peace. Highly recommend it!

When I was a child I used to think the most beautiful church would be one that was outdoors or built to look like it was outdoors. Well here is one that is all glass under the canopy of trees. It is made to fit so perfectly in it surroundings that you won't be able to picture anything more well thought out or performed. People flock to it and are welcomed. Do not miss this if you are in the area.

As a native Californian often don't get the opportunity to visit landmarks in your own city. Glad I took the time and drive to see this Frank Lloyd Wright wonder! Peaceful, serene and by its very essence encapsulates the beauty of spiritulism.

The Wayfarers Chapel on the Palos Verdes Peninsula is a beautiful spot. Great vistas of the California coastline, with lovely gardens and lawns. Surrounded by mature trees, it is like being in a forest glen. Lots of native Palos Verdes stone compliment the glass structure, and the interpretive center built much later matches the design of the chapel. This is a very popular spot for weddings so if there is a wedding in progress, your access to the chapel will be limited. Well worth the drive.

One of the most beautiful churches in all of the United States! Beautifully designed by Frank Loyd Wright Jr, the views are amazing with huge glass windows and large mature trees!

The Wayfarers Chapel is stunning, full of peace and beauty. Cool and informative visitors center with lovely hosts. May be helpful to call ahead to find out if there's a wedding planned so you can best plan your visit.

The Glass Chapel is a must see, the grounds are so serene and beautiful is an understatement. There is a feeling of tranquility and several places where you can sit outside and enjoy the scenery. On a clear day you can see Catalina Island and sometimes dolphins or whales will swim by. I highly recommend visiting!

My wife and I got married there in 2006. We also have a brick in the walkway with our names and date of marriage. Wonderful place with an awesome view!!

Worth a stop on the drive thru Palos Verdes. Went to see it to preview for our daughters wedding. This is a very popular place because it is so beautiful and has a great view. Designed by Lloyd Wright it is very picturesque and the structure is very unique. Really looking forward to the wedding there.

The chapel,the garden and view is worth a visit. Lots of parking. There is a small gift shop you can visit. A very nice place for weddings if you are thinking to get hitched but not for a large crowd. I am sure on weekends you need to book way in advance.

The chapel and view of the Pacific is breathtaking! Frank Lloyd Wright architecture is always amazing.

One of the most beautiful oceans views along the Pacific Coast Highway - the Wayfarers Chapel which also has a lovely wedding chapel, beautiful rose gardens and a quiet retreat away from the busy cities of Southern California. We really enjoyed the views of the Pacific ocean and a few moments of quiet. I would definitely recommend a stop here to see a serene view of this region!

IF there is not a wedding taking place, you can go inside the chapel and experience its beauty, first-hand. If you can't get in, just enjoy the beautiful, peaceful gardens and fountain, and the scenic beauty of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Just soak it in. If you go during Christmas time or Easter, they have great services that include everyone attending. At night, during Christmas time, candles make the chapel into a reflection of peace. I've always gone here whenever and always, to calm down and remember we're all wayfarers..

There has been millions of churches in the world but nothing like this!
A Glass church in the middle of woods! You don't feel you are in the building.

It is my 16th anniversay and every year we return to visit this beautiful place. Still beautiful and just very special.

Decided to drive to Palos Verdes to see the chapel,what a scenic drive, the road is like a mini roller coaster with bikers too. This chapel is beautiful having the ocean as a background, what a nice place to recharge the trouble mind. Definitely will come but not on Saturday since a perfect venue for wedding.

Beautiful place to go to mediate, hike, visit or just enjoy the view! I've been for friends' weddings too. Last time there, saw a proposal.

One of our daughter's was married here in 2014 - so it was very fitting that we should return 18 months later for our Grandddaughter's Christening.
Just a lovely Peaceful place - in full harmony with Nature.
The Glass walls and roof ensure that those Inside the Church Commune with the Surrounds.

Such a lovely setting directly across Pacific Coast Highway from Abalone Cove State Beach. Large glass windows surround the structure and allow beautiful natural light to illuminate this space. Lloyd-Wright designed the chapel. The small chapel seats about 100 people and can be rented for Weddings, funerals, etc.

Never seen anything so architecturally stunning as an all glass church, held by metal supports and wood beams. Grounds of the Church are sooooooo beautifully manicured and the view of the ocean is just a "pinch myself" moment. This is the epitome of the beauty of California. Very much worth visiting, ample parking, a visitor center, easy access to the church and grounds. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright's son --it is just stunning! We also walked there from the Terranea Resort- easy and beautiful walk with plenty of beach views, also walked past the Abalone Cove park and checked out the amazing cliff views there.

I lived here way too long before visiting this chapel. It is otherworldly. Beautiful to look at and rest in.

I saw a short blurb of this chapel in the hotel book where we were staying. We took a drive and we passed it driving. We took a u turn and decided to see this little chapel. This little chapel is for from that. The architecture is what amazed me. So much thought and it sits in the most perfect place. The Chapel was as beautiful to look up as any cathedral. The grounds were peaceful to walk around and the views were indescribably beautiful. It was designed buy Lloyd Wright the son of Frank Lloyd Wright no wonder l enjoyed it so. I could go back again and again.

Wish we could have attending a service in this beautiful place! Also the view of the ocean from the church is gorgeous.

Beautiful setting...peaceful and gorgeous view. Overlooks the ocean and the grounds
are wonderful to photograph.

The Wayfarers Chapel is Craftsman style,and is a lovely, serene chapel open to nature. The glass ceiling and wall panels make you feel like you are not In a building at all, but among the trees and lovely grounds. Attractions include a fountain, flowers, shrubs, trees and a bell tower. It can be reserved for ceremonies such as weddings, and is a popular place for photography.

There was a wedding when i visited the chaple.
I wish my daughter would get married there.
The whole place was just beautiful...

The church was tinier than I expected in spite of it being called a chapel. When inside the views were mostly upwards and actually felt a little claustrophobic to me. I think some of the trees actually were too overgrown and took away from the visual expanse. We arrived before a scheduled wedding, so we were fortunate that we were able to go in at all.
The church grounds were lovely, and to me offered more space for reflection than the chapel itself. All in all, I'm glad I went there, but I certainly would not make a special trip just to see the chapel.

The Wayfarers Chapel is a popular spot for weddings and other family gatherings but it is a beautiful spot to stop and appreciate nature while over-looking the Pacific Ocean. It is worth the time to visit.

This is an iconic structure on and magnificent setting.....and unfortunately it has nothing going for it.....even an atheist has more beliefs than what is preached here!

Really beautiful glass church, surrounded by trees, really peaceful and serene. If you are in the area it's worth a look.

Amazing glass church with ocean views. I'm a little biased, my daughter was married here 5 years ago. What a view! Highly recommended for a visit!

Probably the most gorgeous chapel I've ever seen. The rose garden and the bells chiming...the beautiful cliffs and perfectly manicured yard. Absolutely magnificent.

I usually take out of town visitors to visit this chapel and the nearby Point Vicente Interpretive Center. Try to time your visit so that you can hear the bells chime. The visitors center explains the views of the Swedenborg religion. I have heard that to get married in the chapel you need to use a Swedenborg minister.

I once visited the Thorncrown Chapel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas (on a visit to Branson, MO) and it reminded me of this Wayfarers Chapel as it is another glass chapel surrounded by nature.

I live in the area. A great drive for Spring and Summer Sundays. Nice to show out of town friends. Cozy for small weddings and it's so beautifully green inside. Wonderful views on the way. Can continue to do other stops along the road. Good for family, friends out of town or an afternoon for yourself to mellow

The drive up to the Palos Verdes peninsula to see this spot is definitely worth it. It is a gorgeous drive rewarded by the peaceful, tranquil spot of this little chapel.
The gardens are lovely and a good place to just sit and reflect or meditate. the chapel itself is quaint and pretty and quiet. I know there are many people who use this place for weddings and it must make for really gorgeous pictures. I go there sometimes when I just want to be quiet and reflect on life. It is a very inspiring place.

Not only is this a breath-taking glass church but the grounds are just as beautiful. The
view of the coastline is amazing and the rose garden always seems to be in bloom.

Beautiful place for peace and quiet. The grounds are fabulous as are the views. The building was done by Lloyd Wright and worth the view. You feel so cradled by the trees overhead that can be seen through the roof. We went for the renewal service on New Year's Day and it was special. You write up your resolutions and then they are burned.
Some nice things in the little store.

Beautiful glass church surround with a lot trees , love it!!
My best day trip because Palos Verdes Peninsula is close by and if you enjoy hike its will be perfect time around .

We live in England and Redondo Beach/Rancho Palos Verdes is our favourite place in the world to visit. So it made perfect sense that we should marry in that area.

We visited several venues before deciding on the Wayfarers chapel but it was a no brainier as the location and setting are unrivalled.

Ours was a small wedding on a budget but you would never have thought so if you didn't know. The on site staff were superb in every detail, they know suppliers to suit everyones budget and tastes and the whole planning process was made effortless because of their knowledge and understanding.

I can honestly say that our wedding ceremony far exceeded our demanding high expectations. Helped by the amazing team at wayfarers chapel the stunning glass church and breathtaking views of the surrounding area and Pacific Ocean.

The wedding service Video they offer is a must as it captures your service from every possible angle. After the service we went on to Trump for a small wedding reception please read my review but equally as impressed and not as expensive as one would imagine albeit midweek. We had our honeymoon at the Terranea Resort again an amazing resort please read my review. All 3 venues (Wayfarers Chapel/Trump and Terranea ) are within easy reach of each other so all the days wedding activities flowed naturally into one another.

In summary anyone thinking of getting married in that area should start and finish their venue search at the Wayfarers Chapel it's breathtakingly beautiful and not as expensive as one would imagine and they do most of the planning for you which is a big plus for anyone living out of town 10 out of 10.

The most magical place I ever seen. Must watch on your own eyes. The best place for wedding. Peacefull

Open to the public, free parking, great pictures, beautiful church, very unique grounds, architecture and history. A must see!

This was our second visit, the last being 8 years ago. I had forgotten how beautiful this spot is. The chapel is glass and with the trees all around I felt as though I were in a forest cathedral. It’s really breathtaking. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the property faces out on the blue Pacific Ocean. Don’t miss it.

I love bringing my guests to the Wayfarers' Chapel. The chapel's design is beautifully set amidst the evergreens. The views are spectacular from the chapel. Be careful of weddings on the weekends. The chapel is roped off during ceremonies.

I've been coming here with friends since we found out about it in the 'early 70's, and whenever I have relatives or friends coming to L.A. for a visit. It is a very beautiful, serene place to visit. It is a nondenominational church but once in awhile they have weddings there. You get a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean especially on a clear day! A picture is worth a thousand words, so here are some pictures.

The total area is pretty small but you can spend an hour or two easily roaming around and checking out the details. Wayfarers Chapel was build by Frank Lloyd Wright's son, Lloyd. It is not off the wall but just breathtaking. The view from the chapel benches is great anytime of year. If you are in the area make sure you at least go and see the inside of the chapel. If you are thinking about getting married here then expect to wait about a year or more depending on the schedule.

This precious chapel built by Frank Lloyd Wright and his son is a gem... originally sat on a craggy isolated hill, now sits unpretentiously on the coastline amidst homes and seascape. With his trademark nod to nature, it is a holy and sacred sanctuary honoring our Creator.

This site began as a Swedenborgian Church and is now a 'destination' for California weddings every weekend. It is a (mostly) glass shell embedded in a grove of trees on a hill overlooking Abalone Cove in Palos Verdes. If you are an architecture fan, it deserves a visit. Try to avoid the weekend wedding crush.

Designed by Lloyd Wright this glass chapel and grounds with ocean view for a great meditation site. Situated among redwood trees adds to the intrinsic beauty of the chapel.

This is one of my favorite places to visit in the area. One can bring a book and enjoy the amazing view from the garden areas. Also to hear the Church bells ring as one soaks up divinity is amazing. A must see if you are in the area...steps to a quiet soulful moment :-)

Absolutely beautiful place. Super easy access from the highway with plenty of free parking. Great ocean views. Small, well kept, beautiful garden an unexpected bonus. The chapel itself is very beautiful. Be aware that if a wedding is going on you will not be allowed in the chapel. Sort of luck of the draw. But the grounds are beautiful any way. Well worth a quick stop on the way to one of the other ocean venues in the immediate area.

What a lovely oasis. The entire property is so beautiful. The open air church is often used for weddings... so call ahead so you can gain entry when services are not held. Founder has extremely fascinating background-check it out in the welcome center.

Beyond beautiful location and setting. The church itself is such a great experience, especially on a sunny day. Our wedding was April 2015 and it was a great time of year to visit. It gets a little warm in the church in the afternoon, but the sun shining in is beautiful. Well worth a visit even if you are not attending a wedding.

It is a beautiful church. Lot of places to take pictures. The church itself is small but still beautiful. You can take pictures of the beach from the church and they look beautiful. Parking is ok. The shop does not have much stuff.

Came by on a Sunday after the visitor center had already closed but we still roamed the beautiful grounds. There were other visitors taking pictures in the garden to the side and back of the chapel. We weren't able to go towards the front or inside the chapel because a wedding was taking place but we still enjoyed the views.

Parking - there is a small lot where you can easily park.

Restrooms are found at the visitor center, a smaller building in the lot off to the side.

Stopped here to walk the grounds and visit this totally glass chapel. There was a Wedding taking place and we had to wait. After the Wedding we were able to visit the inside of this chapel with glass walls and ceiling and take some time to reflect.

I attended a wedding here at Wayfarers Chapel in December 2015 for a good friend of mine. It had to be one of the most GORGEOUS weddings that I have ever been to.

This chapel is located in Ranchos Palos Verdes right on the cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The views are absolutely stunning and if you spend a good amount of time enjoying the view, you will be able to see whales!

The nature, the beauty, the architecture of the chapel are every brides dream. The chapel had a vintage yet modern look as it was just made with wood and glass. The glass chapel allows you to enjoy the utmost gorgeous view, it allows the daylight brighten up the chapel and provides such a classy vibe. The photos taken for this wedding were just perfect. The greenery surrounding the chapel is beautiful and gives you this peaceful vibe. You have to give credit to the staff who work hard to keep the entire property is kept clean and maintained.

Hoping to take another trip down to California and visiting Wayfarer Chapel sometime soon.

Very quaint for a small wedding. The chapel is glass and wood so your pictures will come out stunning no matter what. The beauty will cost ya though!

The chapel is famous for its glass windows and you can take picture in it if a wedding is not scheduled. It is rather small and I have heard it is expensive to rent. The grounds are beautiful. You can get a great view of the ocean because it sits on a hill.There is a nice flower garden and the trees are stunning. It is the type of place where you can go and just sit and engage in quiet or no conversation. There is no admission charge so you are free to enjoy it.

We used to visit this spot frequently when we lived in the area over 40 years ago. It hasn't changed much over tha time. On a recent family get together, we stopped again. It's a great spot for pictures and to spend some peaceful time. It's just a beautiful spot and small chapel with a great view of the ocean. It is a popular place for weddings, so I'd suggest avoiding typical wedding times if you want the best experience.

Attended a wedding and the venue is beautiful. The views of the ocean are spectacular and the gardens are very accessible.

Definitely stop by if you're in the area. The chapel is tiny, but darling, and the location is beautiful. We roamed the grounds taking pictures and enjoying the serenity. It's easy to get in touch with your own spirituality while visiting.

It is such a hidden treasure. It is nestled up on the hill w/ sweeping views of the ocean. Walking into the chapel is a truly special experience, as it is all glass, but is protected by towering trees. The chapel itself has a very familiar feel, but as you look out the glass walls, you feel religion and nature come together for a very special experience. This is a must if you are driving through Palos Verdes!

I drove by a number of times during previous visits and finally thought I should give it a look---with limited expectations. Photos do not do it justice and I doubt my writing does either. The architecture in itself is worth seeing, and the views of the coast are lovely--but most overwhelming to me was the fact that the property has an enormous sense of peace and tranquility. You feel enveloped by nature, and it gave me a feeling of closeness to God. It would be a wonderful place to worship on a regular basis, and I can understand why many have had their weddings there.

Wayfarers Chapel is a stunning structure made of wood, glass and stone perched atop a wooded knoll overlooking the Pacific. Visitors are welcome to come and experience the peace and serenity that emanates from this sacred space. We planned ahead and scheduled our visit at a time we could be part of a wedding vow renewal ceremony. It is a special event that we associate with this special place.

This is a one of a kind landmark. Very much worth visiting. The chapel is very close to the Terranea Resort.

I am a local and enjoy talking my out of town guests here. It is an escape from hustle and bustle that is LA. Even if you are not a religious person you will be touched by the serenity and beauty of Wayfarers Chapel. It's location on the hillside gives it one of the most magnificent views of the ocean. You will not want to leave.

Breathing beauty inside the chapel as well as the amazing ocean view.
My husband and I were married there on 10/18/1970. The simplicity of the chapel appealed to us both and our bouquets 💐 were the only additional flowers allowed because the all glass structure allowed the viewing of the greenery outside to be part of the colors of our bouquets.
Simply elegant.

Beautiful church! Lot of couples have their weddings here! It's gorgeous, long glass windows with tall beautiful trees.

When we arrived there was a wedding going on so we were limited to seek the grounds. From what we could see, the church is very beautiful. Security guards were ensuring the wedding went off without tourist interference. If planning to go, may want to call to ensure there is not an event taking place.

I just visited but its soo gorgeous. Its up in the hills outside LA and worth a visit. The church itself is amazing, I wish I got married there.

The best description of this chapel comes from its brochure: “The Chapel is a heaven for seekers who share its quest for a religion that interconnects with all life and allows reasoned questioning of life’s deepest religious issues. Respect and acceptance of cultural differences and faith religions are encouraged.
The Chapel represents Christian denomination that:
- Helps people become more open to the Lord’s presence and leading
- Facilitates spiritual well-being of all
- Increases awareness of the age in which we live
The Chapel was built in 1951. Chapel Architect LLOYD WRIGHT, son of the pioneering American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, conceived the design of Wayfarers Chapel as a tree chapel, a natural sanctuary set in the midst of a forest”
Absolutely worth visiting !!!

Service is held at 10am on Sundays. It's ecumenical in the Judeo-Christian tradition. I did not sense much emphasis on Swedenborgian philosophy. People were very nice, lots of families with kids and plenty of older people as well. Sit on the right if you don't want to get roasted by the sun. It was one of the highlights of my LA trip!

Be sure to call ahead because the chapel is closed for weddings. There was only a 30 minute window of time open to the public during our visit. The chapel is very small, but beautiful light and views. There is a small garden area, restrooms and gift shop. You can get a guide for a $1 donation. Down the street there is an interpretive center with free museum and walking paths.

Today was a perfect day to enjoy this wonderful chapel. Though I doubt there are any bad ones. The light entering the chapel was spectacular and a spiritual experience to enjoy.

This mostly glass chapel designed by Lloyd Wright (son of Frank Lloyd Wright) is breathtaking! You are part of nature being inside the building and the views from the location over the ocean are amazing! Definitely worthy of a side trip to see!

What a nice and clam place. The Visitor Centre gives a good history on the place (and has free wifi). There is plenty of parking. The Glass Church is beautiful and has a natural charm about it. The gardens and sea views add to splendour of the place. It's not a huge attraction but worth a visit.

The church was beautiful, but the grounds and views are what made it for me. Stunning scenery and a must go if you're in the area.

Lovely chapel designed by Lloyd Wright, son of the more famous Frank Lloyd Wright. One of his finest creations. Serene setting along a beautiful coastline. Worth the stop if there is not a wedding going on.

I return again and again for captivating natural beauty and spiritual solitude. The setting is tranquil and the view unbelievable, all year around. Get married here, attend a Swedenborgian service (you really should), or sit quietly in the garden on the benches, it's the best use of your time on the Peninsula. Clear days you can see all the way and all along Catalina Island. If you get cold, bring a sweater or jacket on a cool day, the Chapel is NOT heated.

As we continued down the beautiful Palos Verdes drive, our second stop was the Wayfarers chapel. This church was a beautifully located on a hillside overlooking Abalone Cove. That in itself was enough to make this an amazing attraction. However as you walk into a lush isolated forest, you see a glass structure that is amazing and beautiful. It appears that you are simply sitting in an open area of this little forest. The chapel is also great when viewed from other place like the cove. However all you generally see the lush forest that has grown up around the chapel and not the chapel itself. Finally there is a restroom which was nice for us after driving. However the neatest part was the picture of the chapel from the 1950s where you could see the chapel with no trees around it. Still so unique, I highly recommend a visit. The drive alone is worth the visit.

A Frank Llyod Wright Classic structure...great place to sit and meditate...great locale for a wedding... awesome place for Xmas eve service ..all in the dark with just candles...reflecting off the glass ceiling...

What a beautiful church. We made a quick stop here while we were in the area. Peaceful and tranquil church in nature.

Attended a friend's wedding at this beautiful chapel. What a special place. Do try to visit the chapel if you are in the area. It is quite busy with weddings on the weekend, so perhaps stop in during the week or call to see when it is available for visiting.

When at Terranea also visit the Wayfarer's (glass) Chapel built by Frank Lloyd Wright's Son "Lloyd Wright"
Unique edifice and lovely to experience the calm and tranquility

This is one of the famous gems of our city, Rancho Palos Verdes.
It lives up to it's reputation to please and provide beautiful views too.
One of my daughters was married there for an unforgettable once in a lifetime (hopefully) event!
It was just marvelous event and has impressed (us) over and over again with it's beautiful setting and
all! Well worth the effort to get there!

On a perfect sunny day, we visited the wayfarers Chapel. The glass structure Chapel is sitting on the breathtaking background of blue sea and sky. The wedding bell was ringing. The little flower girl jumped around in her pink dress. A beautiful young couple just got engaged. We took our photo in the Chapel to celebrate our coming 15 years of anniversary. What a romantic place. 💕

Have been here for weddings and drive past often, and every time I take a look. This chapel is a must see.

More than a chapel. A great place to just wonder through the gardens and enjoy the beautiful coastline. Very peaceful, and great for weddings.

The church and grounds are lovely, plenty of rose bushes and other naturally beautiful landscape simply add the overall serenity and beauty of this location overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Palos Verdes.

My visits have been to either spend some quite time or to show visiting friends this location. Looks like a wonderful place to get married.

Wow! I can't think of a more beautiful chapel than this. The openness of the chapel poised on a bluff overlooking the Pacific is just spectacular. Do watch the calendar though because if there're weddings or baptisms as in my case, the chapel is closed to all but those guests. I'm going to spend more time next time coordinating my visit so that I can see the interior of the chapel. Oh, and there's a nice visitor center just adjacent to the parking lot. I'll be back!

Worth going out to see this. Unique chapel made of glass. Very peaceful inside and surrounding grounds are looked after so well. Definitely the place to go if you need some quiet time to reflect.

A MUST VISIT, esp if you are a Frank Lloyd Wright fan. The view is breathtaking, the chapel is amazingly beautiful and serene - which is exactly why we were married here back in 1990!

Wayfarers chapel is so sweet, peaceful, and beautiful. This chapel is glass walled and has gorgeous trees all over.

My great aunt was married here and the interior seats about 75 people.

This is the most beautiful setting atop a mountain overlooking Catalina Island with cliffs 1300 ft above sea level...This is the most Magical Place in enter into An Eternity of Life ...forever.Ever...

The design is inspirational, the view is breathtaking, and the staff in the welcome center/store are knowledgeable and gracious. The lady in charge was extremely personable and hospitable.

I'm a 25 year wedding photographer veteran and I shoot at Wayfarers about six times a month and I have yet to take a bad photo up here. There are always excellent options for great light and the views never end. They run a tight ship here (all wedding are allotted exactly two hours) and they are very strict about no guest photography during the reception, which keeps the guests focused on the ceremony and not their smart phones. Can only accommodate 100 guests.

Totally worth stopping to see this chapel. It is tiny and all glass. The setting is quite pretty - lots of greenery and views of the ocean. I haven't been to a service here but I read they have them on sundays at 10. I am hoping one day to check out service.

This is such a lovely chapel. Peaceful, restful, beautiful. Wonderful landscaping! Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright Jr. otherwise known as Lloyd Wright. This glass chapel is surrounded by trees and is absolutely breathtaking! It is awe-inspiring! It is so worth the drive to see! Highly recommended!

I was married in the chapel so may be biased, but it is really the most lovely place with great views. It only takes a few minutes, so if you are close, it's worth it.

My wife and I married at The Wayfarers Chapel and visited recently on our 25th anniversary. It was as majestic and inspiring as the first time we saw it.

As others have noted, it is a perfect setting for serenity and contemplation. The ocean vistas, the swaddling trees, the quietude.

Don't be put off if a wedding is taking place. Stroll the grounds and enjoy the views until the ceremony is over, then witness the wonder of the chapel interior and the magic of the golden sunlight through the windows.

Even if you think you have seen enough cathedrals and churches to last a lifetime, this one is worth going out of your way to visit. You'll be glad you did.

There's ample parking, but some of it is on lower levels which require a bit of a climb.

One quirky sidelight of your visit is the road south of the chapel -- Palos Verdes Drive South. For a mile or so, it goes up, down and sideways, a result of constant earth movement in the area. The city tries to keep up with the repairs, but occasionally you'll see a center line that looks like it was painted by a stumbling drunk. Have your camera handy.

We visited the Glass Church as part of group exploring the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright in the LA area. This magnificent structure was built by his son, Lloyd Wright. The setting is so beautiful and peaceful. The chapel itself is a glass box that, immediately upon entering, makes you feel calm and close to nature. I sat quietly for quite a while just soaking up the sun and taking it all in (we had battled crazy traffic on the way here but all was forgotten in an instant). Entry to the grounds and chapel is free (as long as no events are scheduled) and there is a modest gift shop and vistor center. This was a lovely place and I highly recommend a visit.

A lovely island of tranquillity with amazing design and gorgeous views - definitely worth a visit. Plan about an hour...

We love to visit unique churches on vacation and when we saw this one on the must do list, we added it to our itinerary. First, the drive there is beautiful and then the glass church is beautiful. Wish the visitor center and gift shop had more items.
