Schedules

Wedding Ceremonies

Our wedding schedule has been designed to allow as many couples as possible to hold their ceremonies in this magnificent historic building. Weddings are reserved according to a pre-set schedule on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

Each couple has access to the chapel 45 minutes before the scheduled time of the wedding. The 45 minutes allow the florist, photographer, and videographer time to set up and your guests to be seated. The access time is strictly enforced. Participants who arrive prior to the scheduled access time may be denied access to the building.

One hour is allocated for the ceremony and photography. Most ceremonies will not last the full hour.

Wedding Rehearsals

Forty-five minutes are scheduled for each rehearsal on the day prior to the wedding. Because rehearsals run every 45 minutes, it is important that the wedding couple, bridal party, and officiant arrive on time. If a rehearsal begins late, the time allotted must be reduced by that amount.
