The chapel was beautiful! We ordered the torches and Michelle made sure the church looked great. She was wonderful to work with. Father Karl was an amazing officiant. If you need a church to go to, even if not for a wedding, go here and listed to Father Karl's sermon. You will be mesmerized

The contact from Washington Memorial Chapel, Michelle is very nice and responsible - she helped us to put a pin to the date although it was a "last minute request" and made it all happen. Farther Karl from the chapel host our ceremony, he is passionate, fun, etc...he is wonderful and we were touched by his nice words. The Chapel is not big but nice for small group celebration - we had only 20 ppl so we fit everybody in the choir room, very intimate!

The most beautiful backdrop for our wedding. I didn't want to have to worry about weather, so we looked for a church near our venue and came across Washington Memorial Chapel. The chapel has such a history and the inside is a beautiful space to hold a wedding. It is located right near Valley Forge park, which allowed for photos in the park. And the outdoor stone area is great for photos as well. We were married by Father Roy, who was so nice to get to know. He met with us a few times prior to the wedding to discuss marriage, and I really enjoyed our conversations. He has so much knowledge and insight into creating a successful marriage. Michelle did all of our coordinating and planning. She is so kind and easy to reach via email or phone. She put me at ease, she has everything under control and planned so well. I am so happy with our choice for the ceremony, we had a beautiful wedding! If you chose Washington Memorial Chapel, get the torches! They are so beautiful!

I had always wanted to have my wedding in the chapel and I have to say it was absolutely wonderful! My husband and I could not have asked for a more spectacular setting! We received endless compliments on the ceremony and it truly was spectacular. Father Almquist is the nicest and he did a wonderful job as well. Highly reccomend!!

What an amazing experience to be married in this gorgeous Chapel! Michelle was so easy to work with, and made sure everything went off with a hitch. Father Almquist was AMAZING. Meeting with him was actually a lot of fun. He really got to know my husband and I as a couple and as individuals. The entire ceremony was amazing and gorgeous. My husband is a huge history buff, so getting married here was his dream. It exceeded our expectations and made for such a beautiful day!

Beautiful! Pat, the woman I corresponded with during months of planning was exceptionally helpful and kind--Pat knows her stuff! The Reverend Almquist was kind and very helpful. I have NEVER heard such compliments on an officiant before...he was an excellent charge, gave a wonderful message, and truly blessed the bride and groom, our families, and all of our guests. Pamela, the on-site wedding day coordinator was also a gem. She knew how to help and when, and also knew when to step aside and give space and time. This is a rare gift, and I deeply appreciated Pamela's know-how. Pamela's husband Richard was equally skilled in helping the groom and his ushers navigate our wedding ceremony events.
The organist and carrillonieur (bell player) were both amazing. Having an active life and career in music, I knew the one thing that required perfection for my wedding was music. And it was just that...perfect!
The Washington Memorial Chapel delivered everything that makes a special wedding ceremony. I'm thankful for their testimony to our guests. My husband and I are truly blessed to have had this setting for our first moments as husband and wife.

Kind and caring venue
The Washington Memorial Chapel is a beautiful wedding venue and Michelle Kennedy is an extremely helpful coordinator. Michelle was flexible, quick to respond to questions, and very detailed. We had several calls with her to plan everything, she was even helpful with the music selection for our ceremony! We booked the chapel for our spring 2021 wedding before the Covid-19 pandemic, and in January 2021 we made the difficult decision to move our ceremony and reception to an outdoor venue because of the current state restrictions. Michelle could not have been kinder to us even after this difficult decision. Other vendors were rude and difficult to work with as we were in the process of changing our wedding, but Michelle was supportive and kind.
We know our ceremony would have been beautiful and Michelle would have made the day very smooth and efficient. We highly recommend the Chapel to future brides and would have loved to have our ceremony here if the circumstances had been different with Covid-19.

Growing up around Valley Forge Park, I have always wanted to get married in the chapel. After meeting with Michelle, this is now becoming a reality. She gave my fiance and me a tour of everything and made us so excited to have our ceremony here! She is confident in her ability to manage everything and you can tell that no detail is overlooked by her. She is very friendly and willing to work with you on any questions you may have. She mentioned that she used to be in the Navy and this is apparent in her scheduling ability - she was able to give us a tour right after a wedding had finished and still was able to check in on the bride and groom while they were finishing up their pictures!

My ceremony was at Washington Memorial Chapel. The church is beautiful and everything went well. The organist was wonderful and I loved our Priest (Father Almquist). A little on the pricy side and not a huge amount of flexability, but overall really good.
