St Mary's Chapel

Wow, can't believe it's been 19 year's since I said Yes at St. Mary. This is definitely the spot if you are looking for some small and intimate that hasn't changed. The location is great with parking for guest. Also, a small room to change your clothes.PS. Be on time! 4 hour's is 4 hour's they book back to back

I got married in this chapel on 8/25/18, and I'm quite fond of it! This is a no-frills option for a wedding. As a Mecklenburg county resident, I paid just $500 to rent the chapel for a 3 hour time block on a Saturday. The chapel is only open on Thursdays and Fridays for visitors and then on Saturdays and Sundays for weddings. Pros:-Location.... right outside uptown so super convenient for guests staying uptown-Reasonable price-Great landscaping -Ample parking-Simple and pretty interior. Beautiful beams and small pews-Staff are easy to work with and helpful in scheduling your event Cons:-Tiny grooms room and brides room. There is not room to get ready in either of these spaces so you have to get ready before coming to the chapel.-There is just 1 tiny bathroom and it's in the grooms room. So there isn't a bathroom for the bride or guests. -There is no foyer, so when the chapel doors open you are seeing outside (this is something to keep in mind for weddings as the bride must have a couple people who hold the door for her).

This little chapel is more quaint than you can imagine. From the outside, it looks like a humble building without any bells and whistles or even modern amenities. Though surrounded by a beautiful plot of greenspace amid busy Kings Dr, 4th, and 3rd St. I've been to a handful of weddings here and they have all been spectacular. For those seeking a smaller ceremony with an intimate feel, and perhaps more of a less modern or dated feel, St Mary's is perfect. A bit of a bonus is the connection to the Little Sugar Creek Greenway. You're maybe a hundred yards from steps that take you onto the path. The whole site is run by CharMeck Parks & Rec and they do a darn good job of keeping it pretty. Love this spot!

Beautiful littel chapel, not a Church, this facility is now only used for Weddings and it is pretty good idea and location for that, small chapel with large grounds and the weather was great for photos, i was a little hurt that i was not shooting my first wedding, then later releaved and glad my friend and yeas he is a jock of course explained that his brides mom needed to be the one to chose the photographer, i gleamed so ideas from himback to the review, this place does have that Historic look and fell to it and the cordinator was cool as she could be for our group, or one half of, to be so disorganized, bet she did not plan on being a zookeeper that day, she remained as calm as ive seen, so she gets high marks totightly scheduled for a party known for lateness, not me a caught a ride with the puncual few, wich means the groom picked me up, ok they give you more than enough time if you get there on time, ive said too much about my friends wife and her family,mmmuhwhat about the honeymoon? good question and i do not want to know, my friend is 19 and his bride is in her 20s so they could have stayed in Matthews or Pineville and saved some monetthanks to everyone for liking my reviews, i'm back

Great venue for a wedding - I attended a couple of weddings here and the chapel is very quaint. If you like historic little places with lots of character and don't want to get married in an actual church, this is a great option. It is also centrally located between midtown & uptown districts, which is nice if you have people coming from out of town or simply from different sides of town. There is a beautiful garden outdoors with lots of trees and a sweet little gazebo which is perfect for those wedding photos.

I have a bit of a soft spot for oasisy parks. That's definitely the descriptor for this spot. If you come at it from the wrong angle, you might not even notice it, nestled between construction sites and busy traffic along 3rd, 4th and kings. But if you look sort of downish toward the park from 4th, you catch a perfect framing of flowering trees, the little chapel, the pagoda inspired gazebo, the simple walking path that then turns into a Vietnam war timeline. It's just a tasteful little park around a chapel with enough walking and sitting space to provide a quick respite, provided the hour is not too trafficky. You could certainly relax here in the sleepy noontime pre rush hour.

It was a very small and beautiful chapel. We were here for a wedding and sat in the back and could still see and hear everything. It's in the outskirts of the city, so lots to do and the park next to it was nice to walk thru to kill time. Only draw back is the parking. We ended up parking by the Target and walking the trail to the chapel.
