    We got married in September and had a wonderful experience at the Chapel at New Richmond. The space is unique and perfectly sized for our guest count of 52. The day of the ceremony was smooth and well organized, thanks to the supportive team. Photos both inside and outside the chapel turned out stunning. We highly recommend this venue.

    We loved using The Chapel space for our wedding venue! It was a beautiful space and had a great combination of old charm and modern atmosphere! The grounds are gorgeous and it’s a lovely location for a small wedding. There are also several wonderful airbnbs in the area for family or guests to stay. A few things that we wish we had known prior to choosing the Chapel as our venue is that if you have more than 40 guests, you are required to rent portable toilets. This wasn’t shared with us before signing a contract and was an added expense to our wedding budget. Also, at times communication was spotty with staff. It was hard to understand some of the communication, it seemed like voice to text was being utilized and it was hard to interpret what some of the messages were saying. Other than that, we had a really great experience and are so happy with how our wedding turned out! The venue was very lovely!

    Our son was married here. The venue is beautiful. But, more impressive than the physical property is the owners. They were approachable, helpful, and very personable. Great Experience!
