Gorgeous views and landscaping. The pictures were wonderful and the front lawn was the perfect location for our tent reception. Fantastic venue!

We were very happy with our ceremony at Grosse Pointe Academy Chapel. The chapel was breathtaking. We used a string trio for our music, and it set the mood perfectly. The only things negative things i can say are that they can take a while to get back to you, but that is because Peggy (who handles ceremony planning) is only in the office 3 days per week, also they were a little stringent on getting us out of the chapel immediately after the ceremony, since it costs so much to use the space, we were expecting a little more time to take pictures with our families. All in all, it was the perfect place to get married!

The Grosse Pointe Academy's reply:
We are glad you enjoyed holding your ceremony in our chapel. It is truly a special place. Since your wedding took place in 2013 our staff has changed and we are in the office 5 days a week. We try to respond very promptly to requests for information and inquires via email and phone. The Academy allows 2 hours for your arrival, ceremony and photography on the day of the wedding. If one needs additional time it can be booked on a per hour fee basis. Thank you.The Grosse Pointe Academy Price Rates
