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 for the construction costs, given it was named after his late son, William. The church was called Andrews Memorial Church. In 1888, the name was transferred to a new church nearby, 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.

Absolutely beautiful!

Historic Andrews Chapel was a beautiful place to hold our wedding. Marsha was so incredibly helpful and really went above and beyond to make our day special. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Marsha provided us with a list of vendors and every business we picked did a fabulous job. We came from out of state the day before our wedding and during Thanksgiving. Marsha took care of the florals for the pews from her cache of faux flowers and music. The chapel was setup so beautifully. I can’t say enough nice things. Our day was so special!

Marsha is the best!

Marsha went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. The chapel is stunning and captured the charm we were hoping for, but Marsha was truly the best part of having our wedding at the chapel. She was extremely responsive and always so positive (she even told me she'd put out "lucky umbrellas" so we could beat the 80% chance of rain on our wedding day...and it worked, haha!). We had an intimate wedding of just 30 people, and she was so helpful in organizing the fine details and getting us down the aisle. She even saved the day with some backup rose petals when our florist forgot to deliver them, and had some spare pins to assist with the boutonniere. We were able to use some of the decor from the chapel as well. Highly recommend the Andrews Memorial Chapel!

Timeless and Compassionate

There aren’t enough words to describe how grateful we are for Marsha and the tireless work she did to make our wedding truly remarkable. My fiancé and I had a very heartbreaking experience while planning our wedding, where we had to postpone due to Hurricane Milton, and then postpone a second time due to the untimely passing of my Father. Just two days after the hurricane and after postponing our formal event, we wanted to hold an intimate service at the Chapel because my father who was very ill at the time had traveled to be there for our wedding day. Marsha came to the chapel, set up a lovely display outside, and was supportive to us as we held our service. She never charged a penny more for the extra time and effort, and she was the most compassionate and professional vendor we could have ever asked for. We were finally able to hold our formal ceremony last weekend, and Marsha left no detail amiss, running our rehearsal and making the Chapel and grounds just breathtaking. Our guests were blown away by the intimacy, beauty, and pride that clearly exists at Andrew’s Memorial Chapel. What Marsha and the historical society did for us and our families is unforgettable. The scenery and atmosphere are incredible, and we will live a lifetime of joyous memories of this place. Even the brick we were able to lay on their pathway with our wedding date to give us a place to return to was such a perfect touch. Thank you, Marsha, for everything. ❤️

Beautiful chapel

The historic chapel was so charming. It was very intimate and absolutely beautiful.
We loved the wooden pews & how the light beams through the gorgeous carved wooden window frames. We also loved the tradition of ringing the bell as you exit the chapel. Lastly, we thought it was so special to be able to order a brick that is placed on the walkway which shows the bride and grooms names & the date of their wedding.

Beautiful and intimate wedding!

This location is perfect for a classic and intimate wedding. As soon as we walked the grounds, we knew this is where we wanted to get married! Our guests kept asking us how we found this location (as it's a little hidden gem) and remarked at how beautiful it was. You get décor (you have options to choose from) with your wedding package, but the chapel can totally stand on it's own inside and out! We also loved that it was pretty affordable in our wedding budget.

5-15-21 was perfect thanks to Jessica

Jessica was wonderful to work with. She made sure to reach out and keep us on track with things. She even went above any beyond when we had last minute misshaped. I can’t thank her or say enough nice things about her and the venue. The venue is stunning and perfectly preserved. I can’t image having our event anywhere else.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
