The Orthodox Center:

As a meeting and event location, the Orthodox Center. the church's parish hall is simply first rate. The site of many Orthodox weddings, baptisms, and other sacraments each year, it has also gained a reputation as an unexcelled location for corporate events and meetings. The Center is also the preferred choice of many wedding parties (non-parishioners and non-Orthodox as well) looking for a memorable location for rehearsal dinners and wedding    receptions.

The Center is carpeted, with a center wooden dance floor measuring 20' x 30'. The North wall of the Center is virtually all glass, with spectacular views of the Gaviota coast and Santa Ynez Mountains. Leading outward from the Center is an exterior patio paved in flagstone which provides additional seating or outside reception opportunities. Completed in August 2000, the new patio area has become an instant "hit" with parishioners and visitors alike. Crowned by an exterior fireplace, which is a replica of a village oven, the patio overlooks the parish's little lemon grove, and beyond that the mountains and coast.

The Orthodox Center has a clean, well-organized commercial kitchen, which is appreciated by many of Santa Barbara's elite caterers. The Center has a total occupancy maximum of 450, and seats up to 200 for dinner. Facilities include oval tables and fabric covered chairs.
