Highly recommend Hyde Park Presbyterian for anyone looking for a wedding ceremony venue for around 100 people. We fit 113 and it was comfortably full. Such a precious chapel and so happy it was a part of our day! Karen is great and we loved working with her! read more

Has our small family only wedding at HPPC. It was the perfect setting for a ceremony of 20-30 people. The church is beautiful and very well maintained for how old it is. I would not have done it anywhere else. read more

We were married at Hyde Park Presbyterian over Labor Day 2022. The venue couldn't be more perfect. It's an adorable, picture perfect, white chapel. there's plenty of parking outside and of course, it's in a beautiful, historical neighborhood. Karen was really amazing to work with. She responded to our every question immediately, met us at the church at our request, & was very detail oriented. We knew there would be no surprises on our wedding day when working with Karen- and we were right! read more

Full disclosure: my wife and I are actually members of the HPPC, but we originally looked at it first as a potential ceremony site. Having a church ceremony was important to us and HPPC checked off some pretty big boxes. We toured a lot of venues after we got engaged (Dec. '19), but one thing my wife kept bringing up was how much she wanted to get married in a church. We were both brought up Presbyterian and had been searching on and off for years to find a church. So when we came across HPPC it piqued our interest. And after meeting Karen and touring the place, HPPC was the easy front runner when it came time to decide on a venue. We joined as members a few months after signing our ceremony contract because we felt that if we're getting married here, we should try to become embedded in the community. On that note, it's been a really rewarding decision. But that's just us. HPPC is a great even if you're just looking for a venue. And I'm guessing if you're reading this, you're at least considering a church wedding, too. Karen worked well with our month-of coordinator and everything went smoothly on the day-of. Karen had pretty bows she put on the pews to help separate groups for COVID-19 protocols. The bridal suite in the next building is big enough to accommodate a decent sized group. The groom's area is the multipurpose room behind the chapel. You could get ready there, but we chose to do it at my hotel room nearby and then go back there for pictures. While it checked off a lot of personal boxes for us, I also think HPPC offers something aesthetically. It's a small, quaint but very pretty chapel in a beautiful historic neighborhood. The white siding, the little steeple, the old pews (I believe they are original), the grass lawn & playground. On a beautiful day -- it was 82 and sunny on our wedding -- it's picturesque. Which leads to another point: it's a great spot for pictures. I've included some below from our photographer, Eryn Chandler, who I would wholeheartedly also recommend you hire if you're in the market. Happy venue hunting. It can be the toughest part of planning because it's usually the thing you try to tackle first. Whether or not a church wedding is important to you, I happen to think the HPPC was a nice setting for ours. It was very us. If you want a shabby chic hill country wedding, the HPPC isn't going to be for you. But I believe there's something to be said for a cute spring time church wedding. If you chose HPPC, I you won't be disappointed. read more

Everything was great! We got married in October 2024 and had a lovely wedding. The church is very beautiful and photographs well. We had about 85 people attend the ceremony and there was still room for more! There is an area next to the sanctuary that can be used as a getting ready room/green room. It was so helpful to use that space and it has a large mirror, so that's a plus! I also appreciated the church's contact, Karen. She was very kind and helpful throughout the planning process and answered all of our questions promptly. I highly recommend Hyde Park PC for your upcoming wedding. read more

My husband and I were married at Hydepark Presbyterian Church in December 2018. We had the challenge of organizing a wedding out of state. However we were amazed by how stress free this part of the journey was for us. The wedding coordinator Karen Laffer went above and beyond to make sure the church was open and available for the flower delivery and set up. Karen is hands-down the most responsive, helpful, organized, and calming coordinator I have ever met. She graciously walked us through our options in terms of church decoration, music, guest capacity, rehearsal and day of wedding expectations, and even provided us with tips for how to go about making the most out of ceremony experience. The church itself is beautiful and very versatile. The grounds are radiant and make for the most natural and unique pictures. Our wedding was made very special by the people at Hydepark and we will forever treasure this in our hearts. Highly recommend this beautiful church to you my reader friend. Cheers! read more

The church is super cute and parking is easy! Our wedding was in May and the weather couldn't have been any better. Our pictures turned out amazing with all the greenery and landscaping in front of the perfect white chapel! We wanted a small wedding ceremony that felt intimate enough for a guest size of 50 so the Church we were looking for would need to be on the smaller side with a historical charm. Once we found Hyde Park Presbyterian Church and met with Karen (church coordinator) and Linda (the pastor) we knew this would be the best place for our ceremony! Karen was super helpful in coordinating our date, premarital counseling with Linda and our music. We enjoyed meeting with Linda for premarital counseling - she shared her wisdom and blessings with us! Our ceremony liturgy was so perfect and true to our personalities. We had our reception at a downtown restaurant. read more

My husband and I can't say enough good things about Hype Park Presbyterian. Wonderful service, intimate sanctuary AND photographs beautifully! From our first inquiry to our wedding day, wedding representative Karen Laffere was responsive, professional and just great to work with. We didn't have an officiant selected, so we also attended service a few times to get to know Pastor Linda Bourianoff, and immediately felt at home with her, the church and its members. Ultimately, we chose to have Linda officiate (which included 4 pre-marital sessions which we truly enjoyed), had a morning ceremony and rented the Wooten Hall for a short coffee reception immediately after. Leading up to the wedding, coordinating details with Karen was probably the easiest part of the whole event! She and Linda were super flexible with the rehearsal schedule, and making sure our day was just as we hoped; Linda even took the time to run through our vows multiple times until we felt comfortable that we could hold it together the next day! Linda made our ceremony truly personal, and we got such great feedback from those in attendance about the ceremony and the way she spoke about us. We can't imagine getting married anywhere else, or by anyone else. It was perfect. read more

BEYOND satisfied with the experience I had with my wedding at Hyde Park Presbyterian. The church is beautiful - I hardly decorated because I loved the simplicity and historical uniqueness of the building. It was a perfect size for our group - 65 people very comfortably fit in the pews. The church coordinator, Karen, was always so sweet, and we really appreciated the level of freedom we were given. I highly recommend this little gem to anyone looking for a laid-back, comfortable and absolutely beautiful venue, not to mention the VERY affordable prices! read more
