    Beautiful and intimate wedding!

    This location is perfect for a classic and intimate wedding. As soon as we walked the grounds, we knew this is where we wanted to get married! Our guests kept asking us how we found this location (as it's a little hidden gem) and remarked at how beautiful it was. You get décor (you have options to choose from) with your wedding package, but the chapel can totally stand on it's own inside and out! We also loved that it was pretty affordable in our wedding budget.

    So sweet and memorable!

    My husband and I treasure our experience of having been recently married in this beautiful historic “little white church”! Jessica was EXTREMELY helpful and kind! Thank you for a beautiful venue and wonderful guidance all throughout the wedding planning and the big day! God bless!

    5-15-21 was perfect thanks to Jessica

    Jessica was wonderful to work with. She made sure to reach out and keep us on track with things. She even went above any beyond when we had last minute misshaped. I can’t thank her or say enough nice things about her and the venue. The venue is stunning and perfectly preserved. I can’t image having our event anywhere else.

    Fairytale Wedding

    We happened upon this little chapel while visiting my husband's childhood home and just loved how intimate and romantic it looked. We called to see if they had an opening for a ceremony that upcoming weekend and sure enough we got a slot! Jessica was incredibly helpful via text, phone calls, and emails. She even set us up with a pastor and right after the ceremony she got us a reservation at Bon Appetit! She treated us like old friends and made the whole experience just so wonderful. Jessica went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of - she even took pictures for us! We asked a lot of her and she handled our crazy family and ALL the kids with ease. Pastor Heath was also very very personable and responded so quickly to Jessica and me. He was very kind and also made us feel very comfortable - he was also extremely directive which I found helpful as I was initially very nervous standing up there (he even held the rings for us).

    We appreciated the beautiful personalized decor and candles - it felt like we were in movie! We just absolutely loved everything they did for us.

    Absolutely magical!

    I fell in love with this chapel online and when we went to see it in person it did not disappoint. The energy there is truly magical. It feels like home. Jessica was amazing in helping us with any and everything, accommodating our changing plans and always remaining upbeat and relaxed. I’m truly so glad we had to change our plans and have our reception on the lawn of the chapel because it was the most perfect and magical day. I wish we could do it over and over. Words simply cannot express the magic and pure love we experienced here on our wedding day (and anytime we visited prior to!) You will not regret choosing this venue for your ceremony or reception.

    Historic and Beautiful

    This location is stunning! There is such history in every part of this chapel, and it makes for gorgeous photos. They have a variety of decorations that come with the chapel, or you can bring your own. Plus, you get Jessica as your wedding coordinator to take care of your rehearsal and keep everything on track on your wedding day, and she is phenomenal! Super friendly, very laid back, very creative, and makes an experience that everyone will remember. She is always easy to reach for any and all issues that may come up and you can tell she cares about people. Our wedding had to be rescheduled due to Covid, and she was so accommodating and kind through everything. I can’t thank you enough for everything she did to make our wedding day so special and memorable.

    Beautiful, intimate chapel!

    If you're looking for an intimate, beautiful, and charming chapel for your wedding, this is the one for you! The chapel is so gorgeous both inside and out. It is tucked away at the back of a little quiet neighborhood. There is also a park next door with gorgeous trees - perfect for photos. The chapel's coordinator, Jessica, is one in a million. She will respond so quickly to any of your concerns or questions, and she is so kind. My husband and I are so happy we were married here. Thank you again Jessica for everything you did!!

    We got so many compliments having our wedding at this venue. It’s such a beautiful, intimate space to get married. Jessica Nelson, our coordinator, was extremely helpful in organizing our small bridal party during the ceremony!

    Could not imagine a more perfect day!

    Where to begin on what I love about this magical chapel! I was supposed to be married in June, but my original venue cancelled on us at the last minute due to Covid. We only had about six weeks until our original wedding date, so we had to decide quickly if we wanted to postpone or try to figure out a way to make it work despite the circumstances. Jessica Nelson, the event manager at the chapel, was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly patient, kind and understanding to our situation, and anytime we had questions she was super quick to get back to us right away. She was not only able to work with us on such short notice, but even recommended a wonderful photographer when ours fell through and was able to help us find a reception spot that allowed our group size to have our own private room. The day of my wedding, she had the chapel looking beautiful, allowed us to arrive early to set up a few things, and was incredibly accommodating to all of our requests. The wedding was scaled down to just our immediate family but the chapel was perfect for an intimate ceremony, and despite the tight timeline Jessica made sure everything went perfectly so I could focus on enjoying the day and not worrying about details. I couldn't be happier, and I'm not at all sad that our original plans didn't work out how we thought they would. It was a magical, beautiful experience in a gorgeous setting. Highly recommend both Jessica and the chapel to anyone looking for a lovely, intimate wedding experience that they will treasure forever!

    Chapel and Jessica are amazing!

    We first found this venue online and we knew the minute we spoke to Jessica she was great at what she does and this was the place for us. This woman is kind, thoughtful, thorough, and on top of that the venue is beautiful! We could have added the ceremony to the reception venue, but we really just loved the chapel and her so much we could not walk away from it. She sends you a list of vendors she uses, she knows the ins and out of everything, she is a joy to work with. I am not even getting married until next month and I feel like I should be freaking out right now, but I talked to her again yesterday and she's done everything that can be done. The venue is breathtakingly beautiful, but that's not the only gem about this place-Thank you Jessica, for being a highlight of wedding planning.

    Historical Chapel

    My first thought after touring the chapel was...Vintage! The chapel was built in 1888 and resembles Noah's Arc!! Its truly a beautiful place to celebrate your wedding!! Jessica (wedding coordinator) is full of energy and absolutely adores what she does! I appreciate every single detail and her above and beyond assistance!!

    Straight out of a fairy-tale.

    Was looking for a place to hold our ceremony that was not the beach and this was it! This chapel is so beautiful and quaint. The chapel does not need much decor, it's beautiful just as is and the with the decor they already have there. Jessica is so attentive and great at helping you with whatever you need. She is a pro and knows how to make the ceremony run smooth.

    Great Venue and Service

    Andrews Memorial Chapel is a wonderful place to get married! Jessica was extremely attentive yet unobtrusive on our wedding day. She was helpful with recommendations for vendors and suggested a fantastic photographer. She was very helpful on our music selections for the wedding and after. She is a professional with excellent customer service and knows her business, yet makes you feel as if you are her only client.

    Dynamite Awesome

    Jessica did an amazing job pulling together short notice wedding (3 months to plan!). She is able to tweak any music changes you would like also! We had an amazing wedding day! The little chapel is perfect for an intimate get together (especially when families haven't met). It can also house 100 something people, so big or small it's nice! She has a variety of cute little decor items to dress up the altar and aisle, but the chapel itself is beautiful. Jessica answered any questions we had and literally prepped us before the ceremony started since family couldn't be present for a rehearsal! She is flexible and dynamite awesome at planning weddings. You will be in good hands with your wedding!!

    Highly recommend

    This venue is gorgeous inside and has so much history. Jessica is a dedicated professional who genuinely loves event planning, and each couple's unique story. She is reliably available and has excellent suggestions. Her chapel music for weddings is great too! Our experience was smoothly planned & executed with zero stress -- she even reminds family where to stand and what to do if needed. What an amazing venue & coordinator! Everyone loved this venue, from our non-denominational guests to our Lutheran & Catholic & Methodist guests! Very highly recommend this venue & Jessica too.

    I may be biased...

    So, full disclosure, I am the sister of the coordinator on staff at Andrews, Jessica. That said, the chapel was gorgeous, the rehearsal was easy peasy, and my day went flawlessly! Can't recommend enough.

    Unbelievable Experience

    My daughter and now son-in-law wanted to have their wedding and reception all at the hotel in Dunedin, but we stumbled upon Andrews Chapel and we all fell in love with it . . . as did our guests on the wedding day. The Chapel is absolutely beautiful and has so much history. After the wedding our guests could not stop talking about the chapel and how it made the day! We rented the Jolley Trolley to transport guests to and from the hotel and we were able to purchase a brick for the chapel walkway commemorating the marriage. It was such a unique and wonderful experience. The chapel was enchanting and so was the coordinator, Jessica Nelson. When we wandered into the chapel almost a year before the wedding, she gave us the history of the church, played some music options, and walked us through a ceremony. She had all of us in tears. We booked that day! After that, Jessica handled everything to perfection. I never worried once about the ceremony or music because I knew she was a professional and would get everything right . . .and she did. Jessica was a delight to work with. She was always responsive and helped with any special requests. Among many other things, she provided our program designer with an illustration of the church and the programs turned out great. She coordinated the rehearsal the night before the wedding and walked everyone through their roles with such ease. Because of the way she treated us and her propensity to go above and beyond, by the end of the wedding, we considered Jessica a friend. It was all perfect and memorable.

    Magical Marriage

    We just celebrated my daughter's wedding ceremony this past Friday, January 25, and I cannot say enough about what a wonderful venue this is and Jessica Nelson's undivided attention to detail, care, support, and the comfort level she provides to make you feel all is going to be fine. When she played a bit of the music my daughter had chosen for her entry into the chapel walking down the aisle, I got goosebumps; not just because of the piece itself but the acoustics surrounded you. She had so many choices for decor, pew arrangements, etc., it was truly a one stop planning experience. Everyone who came to the wedding was in awe and the chapel I might say, even complimented my daughter's gown. When my daughter chose this place after a unfortunate encounter with my parish church, she found the chapel online and visited on the only day she was off which happened to be a day Jessica would be on the grounds, which by the way has pavers with the names of couples who have married there. The rest is history - my daughter is married and has nothing but a wonderful memory to run through her mind over and over again, and so will we, her parents, and all the guests who attended.

    I’ve wanted to get married at the chapel since I was in elementary school. We booked it nearly two years in advance! The most compliments we received from our wedding was about the chapel. It was everything I ever wanted for my wedding ceremony. I went back and forth with people about the décor because I couldn’t imagine wanting to cover up the natural beauty in the chapel. Jessica is the coordinator there and I felt 100% comfortable turning my wedding over to her. She is so sweet and just the absolute best! She helped with telling everyone where they needed and when and even had our guests shut off their phones during the ceremony which was a surprise to both my husband and I since we hadn’t planned on doing an unplugged ceremony, but we are so happy she did! I wish I could have had Jessica with me throughout my entire wedding planning process because she made me feel so calm and comfortable with every detail!

    The Historic Andrews Memorial Chapel's reply:

    Awww! So glad your BIG day was all you had hoped it would be Shannon! I would love to add your favorite wedding day photo to our FB couples page, just e it over to me when you get a chance. Many Thanks & Congrats Mrs Gerber!! : )
