Beautiful venue, spectacular staff
My friend and I attended the 10th annual Fatty Marshas Gala. The location was beautiful and the event was educational and fun. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I hope to have my future wedding at Sacred Heart.
Amazing wedding venue and exceptional staff. Missy and Rachel are so kind and accommodating.
Great old church. Free Visit. Dog friendly.
Its a beautiful building outside, but the inside is breath taking!
Lovely space...large enough for special occasions yet just the right size
Beautiful venue! I love the aesthetics and historical preservation. My cousin had her wedding reception there; it was so beautiful and required little to no decoration.
Always love playing concerts in this place. Renovations are beautiful.
A gem in the heart of Augusta touring sacred heart was beyond my imagination. The beauty of the flowers are among some of the best Ive ever seen. We did the audio tour with headphones helping me to connect with some of the amazing aspects of this beautiful building. I can see why every girls dream is to get married there it would be almost like a magical wedding. The history behind the whole museum makes it even better!! Staff is also an amazing added bonus!!
Audio tour is great! Very informative. My daughter loved the Eye spy activity and still talks about it! Beautiful and peaceful.
Beautiful! Glad it was saved but what an shame it is no longer a church.
Lovely!!! Very peaceful.
I have been wanting to go here since moving to Augusta and the experience certainly didnt disappoint! The architecture from the outside looked amazing every time I drove by, and the interior decoration certainly equals the high bar that was set by that exterior perception. I was also impressed by the acoustics in the main hall as different bands played on stage. Of course the photographic opportunities where outstanding. Certainly a must-see stop in any Augusta itinerary. Highly recommended!
Words and pictures cant do it justice. Some of the most beautiful stained glass Ive seen. Vibrant and moving. The outside of the building is just as beautiful. The red brick architecture is gorgeous.
I recently attended a wedding at Sacred Heart and it was so beautiful. The sweeping arches and stained glass windows are breath taking even before you enter the huge santuary area. As you enter you will be amazed by the beautiful columns and richly painted interior. The reception and wedding were held in the same room so during the time after the ceremony but before the reception we were invited out to the lush courtyard. There were tables for drinks and amazing Southern style cocktail foods and drinks. Such a lovely piece of history and charm.
Beautiful! Still feels scared! Love the altar! And the strained glass! Grounds were very nice too! Classic Southern! The gift shop was nice too! Very, very gracious people running it. I loved this place!
Once a Catholic Church, it is now the Sacred Heart Cultural Center, and our local home for the American Red Cross. Donating blood was my reason for visiting today, not my 1st blood donation, by far, but my 1st visit to the Cultural Center.It dates back to 1897, is listed on the National Historic Places. Free tours are available as well as a gift shop showcasing local artists, gifts, and accessories.
Pure elegance! It will take your breath away. I was a vendor at the Sacred Heart Garden Festival and this was the best experience ever. I was checked on by the many warm, cheerful volunteers. The festival itself was beautiful. Exquisite plants for sale and you cant miss the butterfly house. I understand that there is a lovely gift shop with lots of local themed merchandise. I intend to visit it soon!
Had prom here, pretty building boring party
Stopped by the Sacred Heart gift shop to buy an Arts in the Heart badge, then wound up staying to peruse the gift shop as well as the newly installed Women on Paper exhibit. Had a delightful time! Staff were friendly & knowledgeable. Gift shop was filled with eclectic mix of artsy items. Women on Paper exhibit was wonderful -- highlighting the considerable talents of a group of local professional artists. The exhibit is open to the public through October 31st. Catch it if you can.
Amazing venue for our wedding. The staff helped us with any requests we had and made the entire event go flawlessly. Make sure to book well in advance, as they have events planned for over a year usually.
Beautiful venue. Clean restroom facilities. Building is located near a homeless encampment but security keep them from trespassing.
Very kind staff and beautiful architecture.
This is a wonderful place to have a wedding ! A reception! So many more special events you may think of. This was my first time at Sacred heart and I was totally impressed with the beautiful architectural designs of of culture center!
This place is absolutely beautiful. Pictures do not do it justice. The woman working the gift shop was very friendly, and the woman who showed me around was very friendly as well. Top of my list for my wedding venue next year
It was to be demolished, but was saved by a benefactor. Outstanding edifice with the finest stained glass windows. Look for the staff downstairs north west corner.
Awesome space for a wedding, party or corporate event. The interior of the building is stunning. There is ample parking right in front of the building and there are off duty deputies providing security at most events. Consider this place if you need to rent a large space for any event.
Absolutely beautiful wedding venue. I highly recommend.
So much history and so beautiful
Wonder place. Great atmosphere. Wish the art area was a bigger space!
A beautiful place for a wedding!
Was here for a wedding staff was great place is absolutely gorgeous
Beautiful building and grounds to tour. Can experience the history of the building with a self guided audio tour. Be sure to see The Greater Augusta Arts Councils art gallery in the basement. While in the basement shop in the gift shop.
Beautiful old church. Stained glass was gorgeous as well as the altar and entire inside of the church.
Easy to find. Plenty of parking space, with plenty of room for trucks with trailers.Beautiful venue, but the restroom situation needs improvement.We had a great time.
Amazing venue and Amazing wedding👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Sacred Heart is positively beautiful! The design, history, & markings that go along with Sacred Heart make the venue even more intriguing. So many grand uses (weddings, receptions, exhibitions, tours, musical entertainment, poetry readings, cultural center, etc.) for this place make it one visitors end up frequenting.
Great place for events, entrance to church is horrible with those steep stairs in the front and one bathroom in the corner. This was problematic when the building was full of guest. No one wanted to venture downstairs to the other bathroom.
Amazing center with well preserved and maintened structure. The hall is huge!!! The art pieces are great.
Such a beautiful place. Very huge and its gorgeous inside. The stained glass windows and pillars inside are amazing.
Absolutely gorgeous venue! I was here for a wedding and it was an amazing experience. The only issue was the lack of restroom options. For a large group, there was a constant line.
I enjoed my self. I had opportunity to learn about fresh cut flower arrangements
Wish Id gone inside. Dont think it was open.
Such a beautiful place, everyone should go.
Attended a wedding for some soon to be relatives,The venue was elaborate, beAutiful and well setup.As for the location it was most comfortable.Going here for the history will be a treat, while attending.for specific events has its own charateristics which to regard.Go and see for yourself, Im glad i did.
Love the Sacred Heart garden festival!They have a fabulous gift store. If you have a little girl, let her to dress up like a princess, and go to the castle. Fun and free. Dare to dream!
Beautiful but a lot of foot traffic across the street. This a a historic site for visitors who come to Augusta. I have seen it from the air. It is beyond rare.
I went to visit this venue this past weekend for my wedding in summer 2017. I was to meet with the property manager Raymond. When my family and I arrived he kept us waiting at the door and yelled at us because he wasnt aware there was a tour scheduled for us. He proceeded to show us the venue but was very rude while answering questions. My Fiance was disgusted by the UN professionalism.
If you want to have an event here, this is the place to go to. Great wedding venue with beautiful decor, space, and stained glass. It is no longer a church but has the feel of one. Came here for a wedding.
Beautiful!
WE ATTENDED MY COUSINS WEDDING IN THIS BUILDING, AMAZING DOESNT DO THIS BUILDING JUSTICE!!!! THE ARCHITECTURE IN THERE WAS MIND-BLOWING!!! BEAUTIFUL, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Great that this church has been saved for the city and private events.
A gorgeous, eclectic venue for anything from a wedding to a soiree. I always have a great time here. Lots of Augusta natives consider this a true gem.
A friend and I attended the Garden Festival over the weekend. It was my first time at Sacred Heart. The Garden Festival had a variety of vendors and guests were a letter to go inside the church as well as see the grounds.
Amazing historic church located in historic downtown Augusta. Architecture and stained glass are amazing. Worth my 11 year wait to wander inside!
Beatiful interior and the facility and grounds are well kept. Midnight mass on Christmas eve is a wonderful service, even for a fake catholic like myself. Not sure when else the premise is open to the public.
Very serene place, we went for the start of Augusta Gay Pride, the building has a very calming feel too it, nice place too reflect.
Absolutely Stunning!!!! Attended a wedding here. This place is simply Beautiful!!!Congratulations Vanessa & Michael!!

2022-03-20What an incredible, unforgettable evening here tonight for the soul-reviving, mind-captivating, heart-shaking performance of the Augusta Choral Society!!! Beautiful venue with so much history. We came early to take the environment in and just enjoy this building in and if itself for a moment. And the courtyard is breath-taking… The entire experience made me feel so ALIVE!

2022-03-07My daughter is a artist and invited me to a art function there. The place was simply beautiful!

2019-10-21The Sacred Heart is absolutely stunning! The brochure provided with the tour allows you to proceed at your own speed. We opted not to do the tour with the headphones, simply b/c I like reading at my own pace, and I was with my children. I have a daughter in a wheelchair, so we took the advice given on their fb page, and called when we got there, and were let in through their wheelchair entrance. So very thoughtful. They actually did that twice for us b/c twenty minutes after getting there, we decided to go pick up my mother-in-law so she could enjoy the tour with us. The staff was lovely, and the tour was perfect.

2022-02-27Went there for the Wet Paint Party and Art Sale. My daughter, a glass artist was one of the exhibitors. What a beautiful place to show art, it is art its self. I had a great time.

2019-11-15If you are in Augusta you must visit Sacred Heart. An absolutely amazing site and experience. I highly recommend the audio tour (there are interviews and facts shared you will miss otherwise). Greeted by the most delightful women and greatly appreciate the extra time taken to chat with us. A true treasure!

2018-11-28This was a BEAUTIFUL place to host our reception for the 2018 Southeastern Archaeological Conference. As someone who always enjoys spending time in historic places (and spent her Europe vacation in all the cathedrals and churches), I will say that this one was impressive, elegant, and reminiscent of the past architecture. I didnt organize the reception, so I cant speak to the ease of the set-up, but I did love how open and inviting it was. They have a section dedicated to the history of the deconsecrated church and the past parishioners. This is a great place for events or just to see a cool, old church!

2020-01-17This is one of my favorite landmarks in Augusta that I finally got to visit during the garden expo a couple of months ago. Ive always been fascinated by the architecture and hope people will be able to enjoy its beauty for centuries to come. The people who work hard to keep this building preserved are very much appreciated.
