You can go on to the grounds but not inside. The site has a tragic history.
Church was not open for service or tours when I visited. The restoration on this building is super cool. Ive learned about the theater fire from the podcast Stuff You Missed in History Class. It was great to visit the memorial.
Went here part of a ghost tour. Interesting stories.
Beautiful example of the importance of historical preservation
Had our daughters wedding there and it was a perfect venue. Lauren, the coordinator did a perfect job keeping everyone calm and running as planned. Adding the historic background of the church to the program gave everyone something to read before the ceremony started. Ample free parking across the street. We would recommend it.
Very plain, almost ordinary. More of a monument than a church, I think. But all the same, a very moving story.
Rare to get in Architectural jem
I am a wedding officiant. I visit quite a few wedding venues. I had the privilege of marrying a delightful couple at Monumental Church on New Years Eve--one of the best venues I have had the privilege of visiting. The architecture is stunning and the inside of the church is a blank canvas. The wedding took place at 6:30 in the evening. Monumental has limited lighting, so the couple hired a lighting company to provide just enough lighting to give the place a warm, spiritual ambiance. The couples florist embedded little battery operated votives in the flower arrangements. Lovely.Lynne, the wedding coordinator, was absolutely a gem to work with. Parking was not an issue, as I worried it would be.. There is after-hour parking right across the street. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a unique wedding experience.
Very cool
Historic Church with many famous members
Working on electric issues that part of history
Its a really cool piece of Richmond history, albeit not particularly eventful
Historically sound building.
