From the reviews
This place is beautiful! I have attended two weddings here, and both were lovely, even without elaborate decorations. There is ornate woodwork and an old-timey feel even though everything is in beautiful condition. Definitely perfect for a "woodland theme" wedding, among many other themes.
My husband and I had our wedding here on 4/14/2012. It was beautiful and affordable. We had a cake reception downstairs. I highly recommend renting the dance floor. It is entirely worth the extra expense. We also rented the piano and had a family member play. It sounded beautiful in the chapel.
Wonderful, attended a wedding, chapel is beautiful, acoustics for music are excellent. There was a classical guitarist for the wedding ceremony and he could be well-heard throughout the sanctuary. Great experience!
Had my wedding here and it was just so beautiful inside and out!!! The pictures all turned out amazing! The staff was also very nice!
Getting married at The Day Chapel
The Day Chapel comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at The Day Chapel
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at The Day Chapel — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
