** This is not a review of Church but experience as a Event Rental place ** We have used this place for my daughter's first birthday and had a good experience. We booked this place again for my Sister-in-law's engagement party and had horrible experience. We were looking forward to enjoy and celebrate union of two families but it was completely destroyed by Kelli who was in-charge of this event rental place for our event.
She displayed very unprofessional behavior which is not expected from some one who is in-charge of rental place. 1. She was walking around in pjs and interrupting all our vendors from performing their duties. 2. She kept telling our guests from 7pm onwards that event will end by 10 pm which is not her job. 3. She forced Bartender and Valet people to stop serving even before 10 pm of cutoff time. 4.
She threatened our guests to call cops and get car towed if they are not out of place by 10.30 pm. 5. She kept saying that neighbor will complain but we live 5 mins away from the place and, had also seen many events going over and way louder. 6. She asked our caterer and servers to start serving food from 8.30 pm which she has no right to do so. 7.
She pulled the plug of Dj sound system and turned off lights at 9.58 pm 8. She went to Bridal suite and started throwing my sister-in-law's belongings when my sister-in-law was packing things to leave the place at 10.10pm 9. She did not gave us enough time to take out all decoration stuffs and bring back with us. 10. She was very agitated and kept having heated arguments with various family members who were trying to pacify the situation.
We spent a significant amount of money for this event but it was completely ruined by action of one person who came across very racially biased and blinded by power of rental manager. I would request administration to review her actions and take appropriate action so that no else has to suffer and endure racially biased treatment which we had to experience.

We used this venue for my family engagement, we are North Indian and of Sikh faith and live in the neighborhood, and have also grown up in this neighborhood- Basswood Ave, RPV. Contrary to what is advertised or promoted through this pacific Unitarian church and the beliefs - we experienced racism, insults, and were even threatened to have law enforcement called on us if we did not leave the premises.
The mangers /owners are older white women and are extremely rude and it's a disgrace and shame that people of this low mindset and caliber are still allowed to be in charge and coordination of such events. We held a private engagement ceremony, which we planned for months and spent a large amount of money on coordination and vendors and were constantly harassed throughout the event.
What was meant to be a memorable happy event for family, turned out to be one of the worst nights we have encountered in our own backyard. I DO NOT recommend this venue for any events - it is not a place anyone should consider spending a penny, especially knowing they are promoting racism.

The venue has a nice view but that's the only upside to Renting this space. Unfortunately, the staff who are onsite to manage events are incompetent and rude. I am specifically referring to an employee named Kelly Kinsman, who single-handedly ruined my sister in laws engagement party. She harassed the guests throughout the entire night about leaving the venue at 10pm on the dot and provided no grace or courtesy for us to take decor down or help guests get their cars afterwards.
She even went as far as threatening to call the cops! She routinely provoked the dj to constantly turn down the music from 7pm onwards and argued with the bartenders throughout the night too. Thanks to Kelly's personal behavior and mismanagement of this event, I will never spend a dime on any event here in the future. She was aggressive, rude, and displayed some faint racism that was hard to ignore.
This whole event felt like an opportunity for her to go on a power trip and harass vendors and guests. I would suggest she take some serious management 101's about how to speak to customers and guests at venues before ever being put in a position of authority again. if ever. She's not fit to speak to customers. I am posting a single star here in order to inform the public that this space is not the right space for your event, but would leave a 0 star review if I could.

Part 1 I live a stones throw away from this venue. Infact I look over it from my backyard, patio and dinning room. I have the same if not better view & ample space to host in my own backyard (which I have innumerable times over 30 years Of living here). I made the poor decision to host an event of 100 creme de La creme respected persons & thier families at this venue.
I used caterers & dj that this venue had worked with prior & approved of (no subwoofers as they don't allow them and no outdoor speakers bc they are also not allowed). My guests were grown adults in thier 50s attending my formal black tie event- all from PV and others visiting elders. The usual coordinator was away on vacation &I was left with an unprofessional, untrained, unkempt, purple haired, oversized sweat shirt and sweats wearing barbaric woman that was clearly over zealous with her temp role as coordinator.
This beast stomped through my formal event & through traditional ceremony & stormed the dance door as well as the dining/seating area of my event screaming & shouting at my guests from 7:30pm onwards. Kellie bullied & terrorized my guests & vendors, alike- completely unwarranted & unprovoked. Kellie Kinsman persistently imposed herself upon my guests & even took the liberty to tell my caterers to begin dinner service w/o asking or even informing me.
It was very clearly evident that Kellie was under the influence of alcohol by her irrational explosive behavior. Kellie shout at the top of her lungs at my guests & vendors shooed them off the property well before due time. She rudely interrupt a tradional religious ceremony performed by elders, shouting at them that they had20 mins to "wrap it up" or she was shutting off the power to the venue.
She then physically accosted my bartender, tried to bully and aggressively overpower him and yanked his hand mid his pouring a glass of Soda for an elderly guest at 9:15 pm. The dj had announced a request for guests who had not yet eaten to please do so as Kellie then stormed the dj booth without warning yanking the plugs out of the wall, stunning everyone and leaving everyone a gasp from the loud pop of the equipment being turned off incorrectly & hapazardly.
When I approached her & told her she was making an unnecessary spectacle & insulting my guests & that there was a better way to approach her issue [like in her office] she animatedly shout at me with flailing fingers in my face telling me she over heard my sister say the party was on till 11 & therefore had to take matters into her own hands & then proceeded to threaten me with calling the cops. bare in mind, I live across the street from this venue and guests were invited to carry on with festivities at my home, if they chose to and that is not Kellies jurisdiction to dictate over.

If you're open minded, philosophical, see that all religions and belief systems share the common goal of encouraging people to follow the Golden Rule this place might be for you. We believe in the worth and dignity of every individual, social justice, protecting our environment, and a free and responsible search for meaning in life. It is a welcoming congregation and we accept people from all faiths and traditions. This is my spiritual home. Everyone is warm and friendly. It may not be your cup of tea, but it's well worth checking out.
