Welcome to the Bridge Street Wedding Chapel LLC
     
     We are excited about the opportunity to host your wedding ceremony and encourage you to look over our website for more information.  When you are ready, contact us to take a tour and see why we believe this is one of the most beautiful chapels in the Midwest.  We've included some photos of the chapel on this site from recent weddings.  
     The Bridge Street Wedding Chapel is a non-denominational chapel welcoming all faiths with seating for 200 guests and is completely handicapped accessible.
     Husband and wife wedding and portrait photographers, Chris and Gay Holmes, restored the building creating the wedding chapel in the upper level and their photography studio with office space in the lower level.

     As wedding photographers since 1980, Chris and Gay of Holmes Photography have photographed weddings in many churches and chapels throughout the United States, so they knew exactly what they wanted when they had the opportunity to create their own wedding chapel. 

     "We knew we wanted an elegant, warm and inviting chapel that focused on the comfort of the wedding party and their guests.  A place that no matter what angle you took a photograph from, you would have a gorgeous backdrop" said Chris.  "When we walked into the building for the first time and saw the incredibly beautiful stained glass windows and organ pipes we literally looked at each other and simultaneously said 'wedding chapel' Chris says with a laugh.  "We knew we'd found our chapel.  It was definitely a diamond in the rough, but we knew the building would be worth restoring and we were right."  Come see for yourself by calling or emailing to make an appointment.  Because we work most weekends our hours vary during the week so please call before stopping by to make sure we're at the chapel when you stop by.

     

          Some improvements made during the renovation:

  •   New 3-room bridal suite (with a private bathroom)
  •   Grooms lounge (which resembles an old time cigar lounge with leather couch and rich green walls with period artwork on the walls).
  •   Handicap accessibility, with 3 new handicapped accessible bathrooms.
  •   Central air conditioning and heating for weddings 365 days a year.
  •   Installation of an integrated sound system with a 4- speaker setup to play wedding music either from a laptop or an mp3 player. 
  •   We have an organ and piano on site and seasonal decorations but you may bring in your own musicians and add to the decorations if you like.

     There is plenty of nearby parking -- 3 public lots, and free street parking.  There is a newly finished parking lot / park across the street which makes a great place for photos with a deck overlooking the Grand River and the Grand Ledge Opera House.

     One of the things that couples like the most is the flexibility that we offer.  Although it's a church-like atmosphere, we encourage you to create your vision of the perfect wedding with few restrictions.  You can have your wedding any day of the year, at any time, day or night.
