Chapel & Hudson's Cellar Reviews

Perfect place for an intimate wedding with your closest family and friends. The grounds are timeless and stunning especially for the pictures of your big day. We decided on Chapel & Cellar for our wedding after having to cancel our original plans and this stunning venue was perfect. The team is professional and responsive.

You can not go wrong with choosing this venue! It was easy and clear from start to finish. The coordinator is very responsive and helpful with any questions about the venue and throughout the entire process. Such a cute venue in Winter Park. I couldn’t recommend them enough.

We found this venue on a whim driving through downtown Winter Park and immediately fell in love with it. We had our service in the chapel, dinner in the underground cellar (amazing), and hired a company to set up a white tent and dance floor in the outdoor courtyard. The cellar is right out of a magazine. Twenty second walk from Park Avenue. Sydney with the management company was awesome.

Great and beautiful place to have your amazing day. I had an amazing time celebrating my day. I would definitely recommend.

If you're looking for an elopement style wedding or small and intimate wedding or gather, look no further than Chapel & Hudson's Cellar. This classic, timeless, and stunning venue is located right in the heart of Winter Park, Florida and just so happens to be one of our favorites! The team is professional, responsive and makes sure their clients are well taken care of. Highly recommend to anyone getting married in the area!

The 3 levels I believed would be a distraction turned out to be so much fun! Our guests we completely enchanted with the venue.
Sydney was very responsive and helpful. We enjoyed working with her very much.

Sydney with Chapel & Cellar saved the day for my rehearsal dinner. Our original location fell through 3 months beforehand and from my first inquiry she was very responsive, helpful and accommodating. We had 45 people at our dinner and had Pizza Bruno cater it and the night couldn’t have been better! I would definitely recommend Chapel & Cellar for your small event needs.

This is a great venue for many different size and style events. The staff was very accommodating and helpful and I look forward to working with them again in the future!

Our wedding was so simple but so beautiful. Sydney and everyone at this venue is so sweet and so kind. They go out of your way to make sure your day is perfect! My wedding day was definitely perfect and one of a kind!
The only thing I wish is that IT LASTED ALL NIGHT! 😁🎉
The venue is gorgeous and definitely recommend this to anyone. I love this location and the venue itself.
The package deal is a must! It brings all the necessities, photographer, bar tender, officiant and event coordinator! Saved me a BUNCH of money and less stressful when I didn’t have to worry about anything but decorations!

The Chapel and Cellar far exceeds what we had imagined for our wedding day. It was so beautiful and picturesque. The pictures don’t even do it justice. Once you step inside it’s like something from a fairy tale. It’s the most romantic spot to have a wedding. We were working on a small budget and it didn’t require much to set up for a beautiful ceremony.
We were traveling from Nashville with all of our guests and the Chapels coordinators made every part of the planning process so simple and stress free. There were no surprises and having a team that you can trust to make sure your day goes smoothly the day of is priceless.

I can't speak highly enough about this beautiful venue and the property management staff that I worked with during the booking process. Sydney was responsive and thorough in answering any and all of my questions! We booked the Chapel and Hudson's Cellar for my baby shower and it was the perfect place to celebrate this wonderful occasion. Cheers to this venue and many more special events!

That chapel and cellar is the perfect venue for an intimate affair! It has some really beautiful spots for photos and and gives a quaint yet luxurious feel. I have photographed a few weddings here and I always look forward to working with the staff and getting some amazing shots!

Just make sure you give yourself enough time for set up and clean up.

This venue went under new management about 2 months before my event. It was a little worrisome to receive an email from a new employee every 2 weeks saying they were now in charge of my booking. The new management company tried to charge me more than what my original contract was for. Also, when viewing the venue they explained that the entire venue was connected through sonos speakers. The new management must have removed the speakers and failed to update their clients about this because the speakers were no longer there.

The party was overall a great experience/ atmosphere had some issue with music but was resolved in a timely manner.

The venue is perfect for someone who desires a romantic, simple and intimate wedding/event. My wedding was beautiful and just made for a personal yet lovely wedding. The coordinators were amazing and made everything great! We loved our wedding day at the Chapel!

The venue is beautiful however the facilities coordinator is slow to respond and the week of the wedding after I made contact 2 weeks before stirred up issues I had long resolved. Seemed like she was trying to become a my wedding coordinator and all she did was stress me out after I had everything dealt with and settled. Make certain you contact them about returning your security deposit, they will not voluntarily send it. Other than that it is a beautiful venue, for a small wedding.

My fiancé and I were considering having our intimate wedding of 45 people at this venue. We wanted to keep it small and affordable (we’re happily a DIY couple and are also saving for a house!), so we were excited to find a venue that only cost $250/hour and seemed so naturally beautiful that we wouldn’t have to spend too much on decorations. The pros are limited only to the pretty grounds, the dark hardwood floors, and the quaintness of the cellars. The venue itself is gorgeous and perfect for a small wedding.

The cons come in the second you begin dealing with the company that runs this venue. Sydney was initially fine to deal with, neither nice/accommodating nor unpleasant. However, she did very little to help. We viewed the venue twice, both times Sydney didn’t make it a priority to come out and show us the place - we were simply let in by a landscaping employee (nice enough, but had no idea about any of our questions about the venue and specifics of the wedding). Nonetheless, we loved the venue (again, it’s a beautiful building) and we pursued a contract. Then the real fun started.

The management company has so many specific rules, makes no attempt to compromise or consider the specific requests of the couple, and charges you for every tiny little thing (I understand they have to make money, but when I say it was ridiculous, trust me - it was laughable). They were also asking that our caterers co-sign with us on our contract - Sydney was very condescending when we asked her to explain the rationale behind the requirement, stating “many venues require this so it shouldn’t be an issue” (I haven’t heard of this neither had my very experienced caterer). My caterer has mentioned this venue has already gotten somewhat of a reputation with any vendors that have worked with them (and not in the good way). My favorite though was when my mom called and was speaking with Sydney, and my mom said ‘Okay, I’ll check with *bride’s name* and let you know what she thinks’ to which Sydney responded, ‘who’s that?’ as she had apparently forgotten who the bride was. Sydney had a special way to make us feel insignificant.

In general, every little thing was complicated with this company and we did not once feel we were a priority. What’s supposed to be exciting and fun was turned into anxiety-inducing and frustrating. We ended up going with another venue that is so accommodating and has made us feel like the most important clients they have! Don’t bother with this place - the beauty of the venue will quickly wear off.
