We got married at The Chapel on Sycamore in April and it was everything that we had hoped for! The chapel itself is gorgeous with the dark wood interior and stained glass, and the outdoor space in the spring was perfect for everything from photos to cocktail hour gathering. We had 200 guests and the space was accommodating. Lisa was with us to coordinate our day from the very start and was incredibly prepared, responsive, timely, and helpful in answering my many questions throughout the planning process. She met me at the Chapel to visit multiple times to look at the space as I was planning the event. We used Oakhurst Market, a preferred caterer, for our food and got many compliments (and loved the food ourselves!). We loved the location in Decatur near restaurants and bars for our guests and the ease of travel and proximity to the city and it was easy to book parking for our guests nearby with Lisa's assistance. I would highly recommend The Chapel on Sycamore as an excellent wedding/event venue with lovely and helpful staff. The pictures included are by OliviaRosePhotography.

The wedding director, Vonna was a godsend, ensuring that every little detail was handled and that our day went off without a hitch.

It was incredibly convenient to have all these services provided in one place. We didn't have to worry about coordinating multiple vendors or dealing with logistics, which allowed us to truly enjoy our day. Plus, the quality of each service was top-notch. The decor was nothing short of breathtaking. They offer a variety of design themes, and their talented design team worked closely with us to customize the look to match our vision perfectly. From the elegant floral arrangements to the beautifully draped fabrics and twinkling lights, every detail was thoughtfully executed. The reception area was transformed into a magical space that reflected our style, creating an atmosphere that was both romantic and sophisticated. Our guests were in awe of how beautifully everything came together, and so were we! The venue itself is stunning, with beautifully manicured gardens, elegant indoor spaces, and breathtaking views that made for incredible photo opportunities. The ceremony space was enchanting, and the reception hall was beautifully decorated. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the ambiance and beauty of the location. The catering was exceptional! Our guests raved about the delicious food, which was both beautifully presented and flavorful. The bar service was excellent as well, with a wide range of options to suit everyone's tastes.
