History
In 1876, BM Brown, one of Dunedin's first homesteaders, donated land for the church to be built on. A man named John G. Andrews offered $200 to the construction costs, given it was named after his late son, William. The church was named Andrews Memorial Church. In 1888, the name was transferred to a new church nearby, which is the current wedding venue and one of the oldest churches in the area. By 1926, the title was changed to Andrews Memorial Chapel, and in 1974, it went under renovation. The church was also added to the National Register of Historic Places.

We first found this venue online and we knew the minute we spoke to Jessica she was great at what she does and this was the place for us. This woman is kind, thoughtful, thorough, and on top of that the venue is beautiful! We could have added the ceremony to the reception venue, but we really just loved the chapel and her so much we could not walk away from it. She sends you a list of vendors she uses, she knows the ins and out of everything, she is a joy to work with. I am not even getting married until next month and I feel like I should be freaking out right now, but I talked to her again yesterday and she's done everything that can be done. The venue is breathtakingly beautiful, but that's not the only gem about this place-Thank you Jessica, for being a highlight of wedding planning.

Straight out of a fairy-tale.
Was looking for a place to hold our ceremony that was not the beach and this was it! This chapel is so beautiful and quaint. The chapel does not need much decor, it's beautiful just as is and the with the decor they already have there. Jessica is so attentive and great at helping you with whatever you need. She is a pro and knows how to make the ceremony run smooth.

Great Venue and Service
Andrews Memorial Chapel is a wonderful place to get married! Jessica was extremely attentive yet unobtrusive on our wedding day. She was helpful with recommendations for vendors and suggested a fantastic photographer. She was very helpful on our music selections for the wedding and after. She is a professional with excellent customer service and knows her business, yet makes you feel as if you are her only client.
