Marty Leonard Chapel

Marty Leonard was the first venue we booked for our wedding and we could not have picked a better place to be married. Charles was so friendly and the whole process was seamless. The chapel is obviously gorgeous, but what ultimately led us to book was how kind the staff was. Marty Leonard will always be such a special place to me.

Great Venue!

My husband and I were married at Marty Leonard on 10/4/25. The venue was beautiful, the staff was responsive, and we really appreciated ML’s gift to us after the wedding. The only slight hiccup was that ML opened the venue 15-20 mins late, but we don’t hold it against them (our rental started at 8AM, after all!). It’s a beautiful chapel, and I would recommend the venue to others.

Highly recommend!

We had to plan a wedding in 6 weeks and booked this place without even seeing it in person. The first time we saw it was the day of ceremony and it was PERFECT. Lighting, fixtures, and everything was beautiful. Highly recommend. Best day 🤍
