For the couple for whom only the quintessential white chapel intimate wedding will do, we offer you this site. It’s situated atop a knoll overlooking Belvedere, Angel Island and the Golden Gate—a site protected as a rare wildflower preserve
The chapel is constructed of redwood, with redwood doors and a Douglas fir ceiling. Amber glass replaced the original stained-glass windows after they were broken. The stained-glass window above the door has been restored and depicts St. Hilary (fourth century), patron saint of scholars.
The chapel is next door to a wildlife preserve, which makes a stunning backdrop for your pre- and post-ceremony photos.
We can add the chapel rental into your package price for an additional $1,600. They also require a refundable security deposit of $500, but we will cover that for you.
Our package fees are higher here due to time and mileage to access. If you stay in Tiburon, plan on an additional $80 each for photographer, officiant and hair and makeup stylist. If you stay in San Francisco, then plan on an additional $80 each for officiant and photographer only.
