Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful! It was so romantic having our wedding in a white chapel with a bell and a steeple as well as wooden pews. It was everything that we could have asked for and more. By far the most beautiful ceremony venue that we have ever see. The wedding coordinator, Debbie, was fantastic to work with and made sure that all of our needs were taken care of and that our ceremony went off without a hitch. Having our ceremony at the Maple Street Chapel truly made our wedding day everything we had ever dreamed of.
About First Church of Lombard/Maple Street Chapel
The Maple Street Chapel was dedicated May 29, 1870, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The gothic style Chapel seats 170 people. A unique feature of the Maple Street Chapel is that it does not have a center aisle; rather it has 2
side aisles with seating in-between the aisles and seating on the outside of each aisle for 4 or 5 people. The bride processes down the east aisle, and the newlyweds recess down the west aisle.
The Chapel is shown by appointment during our office hours of Monday-Friday 8 AM - 4 PM (there are often other times the Chapel is open and can be viewed.) To set-up an appointment or inquire about fees & availability, contact dcurtiss@firstchurchoflombard.org. Please include your preferred date(s) in the inquiry.
