This is an exceptional church. Not only is it gorgeous and historic, but you are truly treated like family here. Barbara was a dream to work with - and so much fun! Robert was a fantastic musician for our ceremony. Beginning to end it was a fabulous planning process and the ceremony was so meaningful. Wish we could get married here all over again! <3

Anchorage Presbyterian Church was a beautiful and venue for our wedding. Everyone we worked with was very kind and accommodating. Barb and Anne were especially helpful and communicative throughout the entire process, which made everything run smoothly. The church also had a lot of items we were able to borrow (like tablecloths, seat covers, some table runners, fairy lights), which helped us save money and made planning much easier. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and a lovely place to get married.

ing and everything fit comfortably. They let us come the day before for set up and even had getting ready rooms for both the bride and the groom. We loved having our wedding reception at APC and there were plenty of beautiful spots to take photos! The staff is extremely friendly and you can tell that they genuinely care for the couples they serve. They were organized, accommodating, and flexible. The staff at APC made the wedding planning process less stressful and were very helpful and available throughout the entire process. This venue is definitely a hidden gem in Louisville!

history. The sanctuary and fellowship hall were more than enough space for our 50 person wedding, they could easily hold many more guests. The sanctuary also features a glorious organ and a historic bell that can be rung to announce your union. There are many original stained glass windows throughout the building that add a beautiful, romantic atmosphere to the ceremony and photos. All in all we were beyond pleased with our experience. The price was more than fair and everything went very smoothly, all thanks to the wonderful people working at this church. We would strongly recommend you get married here!

ration to be married at Anchorage Pres., however, I would do it all over again had we been searching for a traditional, welcoming space in the Louisville area. We had many local and out-of-town guests comment on how intimate the ceremony and sanctuary felt from beginning to end. The sunset light shining through the original stained glass windows during the moments we took our vows was SO beautiful, I truly felt like I was living a dream. The entire planning experience was smooth, staff clearly communicated and were incredibly accommodating with our personalization wishes (including our dogs as special guests). We would recommend APC over and over again to any couple looking for a timeless, memorable wedding day.
