Perfect Venue

The beautiful old chapel was the perfect cozy atmosphere to gather with friends and family. We had 85 people, which was the perfect number, as the inside of the chapel is quite small. Pastor Mitchell made sure our day was exactly how we envisioned it, and he really eased all of our worries. He made our bridal parties and parents feel engaged. The pianist was also a great addition to the venue!

Overall a good location

The venue is beautifully intimate. It has exactly what you need for to have your ceremony. Allan was very helpful on the day of our wedding. The actual venue fit all of our needs.

The only thing I would say is that there were many occasions where I didn’t get responses with questions I had. I did have to often follow up and use a different method of communication to get an answer.

Overall I would recommend this location :)

A perfect experience!

After meeting Allan at the Chapel at Minoru Park for our first site visit, we knew it would be the perfect setting for our intimate wedding ceremony of 30. Growing up across the street from the chapel, I had always admired the exterior but had never stepped inside until then-- The interior is well maintained, historic, and exceedingly charming with the most beautiful stained glass and wood details. An exceedingly kind and thoughtful caretaker and owner, Allan made the experience feel seamless and so easy. He was professional, knowledgeable, and collaborative through the entire process-- even though we had a friend officiate the ceremony itself, Allan was still integral in planning, supporting our wedding rehearsal, coordinating music, and facilitating the paperwork. It was a perfect day and we cannot thank him and the Chapel Group enough!

Absolutely Fantastic!

Where to begin? We are so very glad that we entrusted Allan and The Chapel Group with our wedding ceremony! Allan was very professional and communicative right from our initial inquiry through to our ceremony. We really appreciate all of his hard work, reassurance and organization, especially as we navigated Covid-19 restrictions and dealt with postponing a full year. Allan’s blessing and sermon were great and we were so happy that he managed to find a cellist for our ceremony despite facing hardships with finding someone who was a available; the music was absolutely beautiful! We are also very thankful to Allan for helping our bridal party out with their boutonnières and corsages and reminding the guests to turn their phones off and let the media professionals work (we did have a sign indicating that our ceremony would be unplugged, but it never ended up making it into the chapel).

Minoru Chapel itself is very beautiful and impeccably maintained. The surrounding gardens made for the perfect post-ceremony photoshoot setting and the interior allowed for a wonderfully intimate ceremony, even with over 100 people present. Our guests very much enjoyed themselves and we received a lot of positive feedback regarding the ceremony and the chapel venue.

We highly recommend Allan and The Chapel Group! The ceremony planning process was easy to follow, we were able to select a service package that fit with our budget and covered many of our ceremony needs (eg. musicians) and we were able to customize our ceremony to our liking. Thank you for making our special day wonderful and unforgettable!

Hi Caitlin,
It was such a pleasure to be part of yours and Michael's wedding day. Thank you for the incredibly kind words. My passion, both as the owner of The Chapel Group and as a Wedding Officiant, is the actual ceremony itself. There is so much involved in planning your wedding day, as you know, and the ceremony is the focal point. Dealing with people like you makes it so much easier. God Bless you as you begin this new chapter in your lives.

Blessed by God

Our wedding at Minoru Chapel was really successful. It was truly a day blessed by God. The chapel staff were very responsive and helpful all throughout our planning process. The officiant’s insightful knowledge about the usual wedding progression, wedding music, and angles to stand and move to best help cameraman capture the moments was really helpful. It was truly a great experience having our wedding at Minoru Chapel. I highly recommend it.

A stress-free beautiful venue!

We loved this charming venue and appreciated the staff! The chapel is perfect for a small and intimate wedding. Alan went above and beyond the day of. We had a lot of wind that morning but there was Alan, an hour before the guests arrived, using a leaf blower to ensure everything was perfect! His sermon was personal and came from the heart. If you want a low stress wedding, this venue is ideal. They take care of the decor, the music, the photographer/videography and anything else that you would normally have to coordinate on your own. We highly recommend the Chapel at Minoru and Alan!

Allan thank you for all your help!!

Thank you Allan!! Our wedding was a huge success this past weekend (August, 1st, 2020), we couldn’t have wished for a better outcome. Of course due to Covid-19 we had our challenges but we made the best of it and everything worked out really well. The flower arch add on last minute was a huge hit. Allan, we can’t thank you enough, our wedding would not have been as beautiful as it was without you. You’ve been professional and walked us through every step of the way during this planning process. We appreciate all the help and advice you gave us. We really loved how you got to know us more and really personalized your speech during our ceremony and made us laugh. I highly recommend anyone who is getting married to give Allan a call!
