A charming little chapel for our special day

My hubby and I had our wedding at the Bell Tower Chapel and we absolutely enjoyed every aspect of it! We opted for the Romantic Wedding Package to receive additional support on the wedding day and we were blown away by how efficient and hard working the entire crew were in getting both the interior venue and outside reception spaces set up for our special day! I was very impressed by how Shiloh our DOC was able to take all my various decorations and set them all out to realize the vision I had in my head. Our guests loved the location and had a blast! So glad we chose BTC for our special day. Thanks!

Magical Venue & Lovely Owners

The Bell Tower Chapel was the perfect venue for us in every way. From our pre-pandemic plans to our downsized plans during the pandemic, Cristi was an absolute joy to work with—kind, flexible, professional, and authentic. The Chapel itself is positively stunning, and Cristi’s approach made us feel so welcome and connected on our wedding day. We loved it so much, we are hoping to have a bigger celebration there next year when larger groups are allowed. Highly recommend!

A cozy slice of small town magic.

We got married here in May, and it was fantastic.

The chapel has a good small town feel that hit right at home for me, and is something you really only see in movies and shows.
Plus, the chapel has a working bell that we got to ring quite a few times right at the end of our ceremony. Super fun.

The chapel is great if you want comfortable seating for about a 100-person ceremony inside.
The outdoor area in the back is even bigger, and we honestly had to make a tough call if we wanted it outside because it is a great setup.
We ended up using the outdoor area for the reception.

Honestly, the best part of booking this place was the owner and caretaker, Cristi.
Super attentive and helpful throughout the entire process.
She answers questions quickly and honestly, and worked really hard to help us brainstorm ideas when plans looked like they were falling apart.
If you are able to book her as an on-site coordinator, I think she's completely worth the money.

Also, if you're planning on using the outdoor area and want to make sure you're prepped for rain.
At the time of our wedding, we found that a 20'x80' tent fits pretty comfortably in the back area.
I probably wouldn't go any further than 80', but it housed our 90-100 guests comfortably with a bar.

5/5
Would re-marry my wife here again.
(I copy and pasted this from a review I wrote on google, and I stand by it.)

Get married here you won’t regret it!

Our wedding at Bell Tower Chapel was perfect! The chapel itself is so beautiful it needed hardly any decorations and was simply elegant! From the amazing windows, to the fact that you can hold the reception right there it is the PERFECT place for a small, intimate wedding. Also the owner is super nice and easy to work with. It literally could not have been any better!

Our Perfect Day!

Cristi was wonderful to work with and very accommodating for scheduling and equipment needs. The venue was lovely and many of our guests thought it was perfect for our intimate, family and friends wedding. We had a wonderfully stress free experience here and know Cristi would do a great job with any event.

Amazingly lovely!! We celebrated our daughter's wedding at Bell Tower Chapel last weekend, April 14, 2018. This venue is absolutely gorgeous inside and outside resulting in fabulous photos. The new owner's were wonderful to work with, allowing an extra walk through after remolding and re-painting. The fresh new cream interior is quite versatile for decorating purposes; we were delighted. Thank you Cristi for all your help and for keeping this historic, beautiful building vibrantly alive.

Fantastic venue for a intimate wedding. Gorgeous historic chapel, I love the chandeliers and colors they've chosen- looks great in photographs! They are also super flexible. I photographed a wedding there in April and it was expected to rain but the day of was gorgeous. The wedding was able to move their reception outdoors and still have the safety of the chapel for dancing and cake in case of rain. I love photographing the Bell Tower. I highly recommend it to my clients!

Bell tower Chapel is so wonderful, our daughter was so beautiful, the day couldn't have gone any better. Planning was great I was able to get into the chapel to look things over and Catering, DJ, and Photographer had access to view the area also.
Quick response when I needed to see if there was time to get in for those last minute decisions. The grounds were perfect, fenced in for the little ones and big enough for our whole family to visit and take pictures. The chapel has a wonderful aged look that made the wedding seem old fashion, the chapel bell( which the bride and groom were able to ring) is a classic touch. I fell in love with that little place and am so grateful we found it for our little girls wedding. Thanks to everyone that keeps loving that little place. I also loved the night lights around the deck and trees.

If you are having a small (100 guest) wedding, then this is the place for you! The weather turned out beautiful for our wedding so we were easily able to shift the reception outside. All of our guests loved the feel of the chapel and it was a great place to share love.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

This chapel is one of the sweetest venues around. Located in a quiet country town of Boring, I love it's old charm feel! Original pews, hardwood flooring, big windows for gorgeous light, and chandeliers, what's not to love. After you have tied the knot, you get to ring the bell!

Wedding Ceremonies YOUR Way Wedding Ceremonies YOUR Way Wedding Officiants

The Bell Tower Chapel is an historic chapel in Boring Oregon with whom I had been a Wedding DJ and Wedding Photography, but I have since retired. I also have been a Minister or Secular Officiant depending on my couples' needs. The Bell Tower Chapel and grounds are perfect for up to 125 people with many of what wedding ceremonies, reception and brides need on their day. Photographs with charm, indoors and outdoors with a classic country Americana feel. Patrick, the owner, is VERY flexible with bridal couples and their families needs in an affordable venue. The bridal bell in the steeple after the ceremony and its ringing by the couple is especially traditional; and memory making in the act and wedding images. Make sure you check Bell Tower Chapel out. It may be PERFECT for your wedding.

Lovely litle white venue located in small town Oregon but not far from downtown. Cute chapel feel with capacity for a great party indoors or out!
