I visited First Church Congregational in Fairfield for a private Oshogatsu event and was really impressed. The church is very clean and beautiful, with stunning vaulted ceilings, a huge organ in the back, and lovely stained glass windows (I wish I had taken photos).
The recreational area with the stage was spacious and well laid out, and I appreciated that there was a handicap-accessible elevator to reach the stage. The space behind the stage was also quite large and functional.
A special mention to Dave, who was incredibly kind and helpful--he pointed us to the nursery, where my two-year-old enjoyed playing with the toys. Overall, a welcoming, well-maintained space that worked very well for the event I attended. read more
