Bridge Street Wedding Chapel
Congratulations on your engagement and upcoming wedding!
Now, the fun begins! The search for the perfect place to say your vows and start your married lives together. It’s easier said than done, but if you are reading this then you are definitely on the right path.
Whether you want a secular ceremony – with no religious ties, or a ceremony that includes the presence of God – as your personal beliefs dictate, not a church or denomination – you’ve found the right place. It’s your wedding day, your way, with us to guide you along the way.
You will feel the comfort and warmth when you step inside the chapel doors and look up at the light streaming down from the stained glass that has shown for generations since 1903.
Even if you belong to a church, many restrictions may prevent you from having the ceremony of your dreams there. That’s why we may be the perfect ceremony venue for couples like you. The loving warmth of a building that has hosted countless families – multiple generations – is now available to create your wedding day memories without a church’s restrictions.
We have dedicated the past 20 years to creating storybook weddings with over 400 couples who have trusted us to guide them through planning, preparing, and performing the wedding of their dreams.
Let’s chat and see if we are the right fit for your big day.
Fill out the contact form, and we will schedule a time for you to take a tour. We look forward to meeting you.
PS – We are pet and kiddo-friendly, so please consider having them be part of your ceremony if that’s your style.
Testimonials
“Thank you so much for hosting our wedding at the Bridge Street Wedding Chapel. You all were so helpful and everything we needed you had for us! The whole day was such a great experience and you guys made it stress-free for us. We will be recommending you to all of our friends who are looking for a place to be married. Also – the photos are outstanding. Thank you again.”
“You are wonderful! Even with the normal craziness of our wedding day, you made everyone feel calm which is quite remarkable. Your chapel is so beautiful and I am so happy we decided to hire you and Chris as our wedding photographers too. You helped make our day the best ever and now we have photos we will cherish forever! Thank you again.”
“I wanted to thank you on behalf of our daughter and new son-in-law. You’ve done such a remarkable job renovating your chapel and you were both so easy to work with, helping us every step of the way. We initially planned on having their wedding at our local church but with all the restrictions it just was not feasible. (They had lived together prior to the wedding which precluded them from being married in our church without a 6-month wait.) Thankfully we were told about your chapel. You were so much easier to deal with and in the end, your price was less expensive than our church would have been. Wow, that is all I can say about our day at your chapel. It could not have been more perfect. Thank you for being so nice and so easygoing and letting us have our wedding at your chapel.”
“We are so thankful that we were able to have our wedding ceremony at the Bridge Street Wedding Chapel. Living out of state, it was difficult to coordinate with our former churches’ schedules (as well as comply with their marriage class requirements being so far away), and were not having luck with the MSU Alumni Chapel (home football games preclude any ceremonies).
Luckily, we found the Bridge Street Chapel in Grand Ledge. It has been recently renovated by a husband-wife photographer team and they have done a spectacular job.
The inside is jaw-droppingly beautiful with the ladies and gentlemen’s dressing rooms (the men’s area resembles an old-school cigar lounge and there are plenty of mirrors and counters in the women’s changing rooms for all preparation needs). The altar and the stained glass windows will take your breath away. It provides an intimate, elegant setting and is the perfect place to get married, and will be sure to impress your guests with its beauty as well as amenities.”

Some History
Our building was constructed in 1903 as the First Congregational Church and is considered a historic site in Grand Ledge. The pews in our chapel were hand-crafted in 1891 and add to the timeless feel of the chapel. In early 2006, after purchasing the building, the Holmes family began an enormous restoration project, renovating the building to be better than new – keeping the best of the old and historic (original stain glass, woodwork, and organ pipes) while upgrading the comfort features such as new electrical, plumbing and bathrooms, new flooring, and central air and heat.
