My guess is that you're referring to the seven churches the letters went to in Revelation's first three chapters. In order of appearance, they're the churches of Ephesus (Revelation 2:1-7), Smyrna (2:8-12), Pergamos (2:13-17), Thyatira (2:18-29), Sardis (3:1-6), Philadelphia (3:7-13), and Laodicea (3:14-22). All of them are located in present-day Turkey, part of what was then (in the late 1st century A.D.) the Roman province of Asia.
Symbolically, the bride at the marriage of the Lamb in Revelation 19:7-8 is representative of THE church itself (that is, the Christian church as a whole, not just individual ones -- the entire body of believers). I hope this helps.
Have a terrific day!

There are seven, they are all found in the first three chapters of Revelation. Do you not have a Bible? They are Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Philadelphia, Sardis,and Laodicea. When it speaks of the wedding supper, the church is the bride. Also the great multitude is the church.

7 churches : Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodica. (Rev 1 to 3). But while they were real, the Revelation of John is a pure hallucination or the result of temporal lobe epilepsy. It's NOT DIVINE!

The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches." (Revelation 1:17-20 KJV)

There are seven. You can find this in Revelations chapter one.
God bless You.
Rev 1:11
11Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
