Inflatable Churches

The people at Innovations Extreme take inflatables very seriously. They have designed many inflatable structures, the most interesting being the Inflatable Church.

Other structures offered by Innovations Extreme include the Inflatable Pub, Inflatable Marquees and Inflatable Nightclubs. None of these seem quite as innovative as the Inflatable Church.

The Inflatable Church by Innovations Extreme is the world's largest inflatable church, and according to their site at inflatablechurch.com is registered with Guinness World Records 2004 as such.

The Exterior

Photos on the website show a gothic-type exterior complete with bell tower - no mention of the bell is made. Different shots show different hues of grey, but it is unclear whether this is a result of lighting or if it actually comes in different hues.

Instant Wedding Chapel

The Inflatable Church makes it easy to set up an instant wedding chapel anywhere. It appears to be a big hit with organizers of street fairs and other events, but its main purpose seems to be as a chapel for weddings or renewing wedding vows.

The site says, "Now we can bring the church to the bride rather than the other way around. It can be set up anywhere, from your garden to Malibu beach, it's up to you. No problem with high heels."

For brides and grooms who would like to marry in a spot where no church exists, the Inflatable Church can be set up easily and includes everything you would expect to find inside a church.

Inside the Church

Inside the Church are faux stained glass windows made of plastic and airbrushed artwork intended to replicate that found in a traditional church. The inflatable items inside include pews, an altar, an organ, a pulpit, candles and a cross. Inflatable angels guard the door.

How it Works

The church can be assembled in about two hour's time. After use, it takes even less time to take it down: approximately an hour. The structure arrives in two sections with the accessories needed for set up.
