      37 years ago we got married at this church , and drove over here to see if we could take pics of it , when we were met by Amalia Seresinghe . Whom not only let us in the church , but took time from her busy day ,to take photos for us . She is the Wedding Coordinator at the Church , and is the most nicest sweetest person , we have met in a long time .She was very knowledgeable and very helpful. So much so , that in a few years , we will be coming back here to do our vow renewal .

      I have thoroughly enjoyed The Santa Anita Church from the moment I stepped into the absolutely beautiful sanctuary for the first time back in 2005 to right now. The atmosphere of the church and church members are carefree & welcoming and loving and all of the staff and members are extremely friendly. I have been married here, had my daughter baptized here and will have my own baptism here also. I have built true friendships here at the SAC. If you are looking for a place to get married or looking for a place to worship or to take a few classes the Santa Anita Church is definitely the place for you.

      I love this church, my husband and I got married here 3yrs ago and we had the most amazing ceremony. Our family and friends still from time to time talk about it. The coordinators were excellent and our Rev. Terry was increadable so down to earth, we really loved every aspect of our celebration. As a bride it was such an excellent experience having two coordinators taking care of everything.

      Last year we baptized our son and the ceremony was wonderful very spiritual. If you are looking for a beautiful church, spiritual, and people that actually care about your wishes then this is the place.

      This church is probably the most picturesque and has one of the most beautiful sanctuaries and setting in Arcadia.
      No wonder it is a favorite choice for weddings and other events.
      It's nestled almost out of sight amongst beautiful trees along one of the few parts of Colorado Blvd that is not as heavily traveled as other segments, so it's easy to miss.

      We were the first same-sex couple to get married at Santa Anita Church 5/31/2014. The Church was beautiful, the music was top-notch, the hostesses were very helpful and friendly, and Minister Keenan was fantastic!

      I had my baby shower in the reception hall. The staff was helpful, and more than accommodating. I had 100 guest and 4 extra tables for gifts, food, candy bar, they provide table and chairs.. And there was plenty of room for guest to move around and play games. The hall has access to a full kitchen, an outside sitting area, also a play area for kids. Lastly I had a few guest who are also "expecting" ask me about the venue for their own shower! I couldn't be happier with the turn out!

      This place is amazing. My wife and I booked our wedding ceremony here and love every bit of it. The place is beautiful, the hosts were great and friendly. The went through step by step on how we should go about the ceremony from start to finish. The Reverend was nice and friendly. I was really nervous in the beginning and the reverend start I started to have a small chat in the grooms room before the wedding started and we talked a joked and before you know it I was calm. The sanctuary is just gorgeous. The large stained glass window made the event even more magical. The pictures that was taking in the sanctuary came out beautiful with the light shining through the large stained glass window. There is also an outdoor area for a outdoor ceremony as well. It is a large place and with plenty of parking.
