Our Story
Nestled in the heart of Richmond’s Minoru Park, The Chapel is more than a venue — it’s a place where history and modern love come together. Built in 1891 by local volunteers and later relocated to its tranquil park setting, the chapel remains one of Richmond’s most cherished landmarks. Surrounded by lush gardens and peaceful pathways, it offers an intimate space for couples to celebrate their day in an atmosphere that feels both classic and effortless.
From the moment you walk through the doors, our goal is simple: to make your wedding day feel personal, stress-free, and unforgettable. Every couple brings a unique story, and we take pride in helping you express it — whether that means incorporating your traditions, blending cultures, or keeping things beautifully simple.
