“My wife and I are so glad that we chose the Oakland Center for Spiritual Living for our wedding ceremony. The facility and its staff exceeded our expectations in every respect. The sanctuary is colorful, warm and welcoming – a perfect setting where our guest of different faiths and backgrounds could feel comfortable and included. The Center truly provides the ambiance of a sacred space and peaceful oasis that is conductive to a meaningful celebration. Most important, the Center staff worked closely with us to find the best way to utilize the facility and actualize every detail of our vision for the event. Everything was perfect.”
