Easy to work with. Beautiful chapel. They provided aisle runner and candelabras. We hired the LC organist to play the chapel's pipe organ which was fantastic.

When we got married it was difficult to convince L&C to have us. Mark was awesome and wanted to have our wedding there, it was the admin at the college who wasn't as willing. We ended up having to have a board member plead our case and it ended up working. Pastor mark was amazing and it was a beautiful place to wed. I have no regrets and would recommend it to anyone. The grounds and chapel are beautiful for pics and just the general feeling of the day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
