As wedding photographers since 1980, Chris Holmes and his wife Gay of Holmes Photography have photographed weddings in many churches and chapels throughout the United States, so they knew exactly what they wanted when they had the opportunity to design their own wedding chapel.
"We knew we wanted an elegant, warm and inviting chapel that focused on the comfort of the wedding party and their guests. A place that no matter what angle you took a photograph from you would have a gorgeous backdrop" said Chris.
Originally the building which was built in 1903, housed the First Congregational Church. The congregation eventually outgrew the building and moved to a new facility in the 1960's. So after many years of steady decline, it was a major undertaking to not only restore the building but to update it with all the comforts of a modern facility while maintaining the incredible charm created by the enormous stained glass windows, original woodwork and organ pipes.
Some improvements included adding a 3-room bridal suite (with a private bathroom), grooms lounge, 3 new handicapped accessible bathrooms, central air conditioning and heating and installation of an integrated sound system to play wedding music either from a laptop or an ipod. You are also welcome to bring in musicians or singers if you like.
We are non-denominational, welcoming all faiths and have seating for up to 200 guests.
