User5790891 Sent on 02/01/2016The contact from Washington Memorial Chapel, Michelle is very nice and responsible - she helped us to put a pin to the date although it was a "last minute request" and made it all happen. Farther Karl from the chapel host our ceremony, he is passionate, fun, etc...he is wonderful and we were touched by his nice words. The Chapel is not big but nice for small group celebration - we had only 20 ppl so we fit everybody in the choir room, very intimate! -

The Washington Memorial Chapel is a beautiful wedding venue and Michelle Kennedy is an extremely helpful coordinator. Michelle was flexible, quick to respond to questions, and very detailed. We had several calls with her to plan everything, she was even helpful with the music selection for our ceremony! We booked the chapel for our spring 2021 wedding before the Covid-19 pandemic, and in January 2021 we made the difficult decision to move our ceremony and reception to an outdoor venue because of the current state restrictions. Michelle could not have been kinder to us even after this difficult decision. Other vendors were rude and difficult to work with as we were in the process of changing our wedding, but Michelle was supportive and kind.
We know our ceremony would have been beautiful and Michelle would have made the day very smooth and efficient. We highly recommend the Chapel to future brides and would have loved to have our ceremony here if the circumstances had been different with Covid-19. -

Caitlin Sent on 04/19/2016Growing up around Valley Forge Park, I have always wanted to get married in the chapel. After meeting with Michelle, this is now becoming a reality. She gave my fiance and me a tour of everything and made us so excited to have our ceremony here! She is confident in her ability to manage everything and you can tell that no detail is overlooked by her. She is very friendly and willing to work with you on any questions you may have. She mentioned that she used to be in the Navy and this is apparent in her scheduling ability - she was able to give us a tour right after a wedding had finished and still was able to check in on the bride and groom while they were finishing up their pictures! -

I had a lot of problems with the events coordinator from basically the beginning (2years ago). Having to send her all of our information literally 5 times and remind her what day and time our wedding was several times because she forgot to put us on the calendar. Then one week before our wedding she calls to tell me she got to the church and they decided to replace the roof so I would have scaffolding and an orange fence in front of the church I paid $3,000 to be married in! I cried my eyes out at work. The pastor that married us was unbelievable and we loved him! It was just a nightmare trying to work with the events coordinator. -

User1698776 Sent on 07/07/2014The chapel is one of the most beautiful places of worship I have ever been to. The pictures we have gotten back from our wedding include breathtaking images of the stone and wood craftsmanship around the alter. All these things considered, the cost to use the space was a significant expense, especially considering how short our ceremony was (20 minutes). I also didn't feel like the event coordinator was especially organized which got frustrating at times. They also have limited flexibility with decor and music, but that is mostly due to the historical and religious preservation of the space. -
User1621754 Sent on 05/16/2014The Chapel is absolutely wonderful! It is beautiful and historic. I fell in love with it the moment I stepped inside. The BIG problem with the chapel is the event coordinator Michelle. She is terrible! The woman is extremely unprofessional and rude! She asked is to provide a list of entrance during precessional then the day of our rehearsal changed everything I, the bride, had planned. She does not listen at all and spoke down to me. On the day of my wedding she was coordinating in jeans and a T-shirt. Family and friends also told us she was cussing in the back of the chapel during our ceremony! The chapel itself is gorgeous and I just love it so very much but their coordinator needs to either pull herself together or should just go! She was pushy, rude and completely unprofessional. Our sexton was fabulous. Again the only reason for the low review is the event coordinator, otherwise the chapel is a Gem! Loved the location although I did not use their clergy I brought my own extra (FYI). They like to control many aspects of the wedding but even with the terrible coordinator, my husband and I are so happy to have gotten married at the Chapel and hope that others choose to as well just be careful of the coordinator and tell her to lose the jeans and dirty mouth the day of your wedding!
