Chapel Amenities

Bullet Dressing Rooms

Two dressing rooms are available for your wedding party's use. The men's dressing room is located inside the chapel while the bridal room is located just outside the chapel. It is suggested that the groom and groomsmen arrive already dressed for the wedding, but you can elect to dress on site. We also recommend that the bride get dressed here (unless you are taking pictures elsewhere prior to coming to the Chapel).

Bullet Sound Systems

 For your wedding, there will be one wireless microphone for your officiate and up to three stand microphones provided at no additional charge. Sound needs in addition to these microphones should be requested as early as possible. Requests for additional equipment may result in additional charges.

The chapel is also equipped with a CD/iPod player with remote. If you choose to use the CD player, someone from your wedding party must be designated to operate the CD player.

Bullet Musical Instruments

 The chapel is equipped with a copper-piped organ and a piano. Both are tuned and available for your use during your rehearsal and wedding.

Freely available are several white Romanesque columns varying in height, a candle table, a guest book stand, and a podium. For a nominal rental fee, we also provide a unity candle candelabras, four single candelabras, and a pair of 7 light candelabras. All candelabras are adjustable in height and made of brass to match the chapel's decor.
