Chapel in The Pines - Chapels - Wedding Chapel Chicago IL in Chicago IL
This intimate wedding chapel is picturesque with stained glass windows, antique fixtures & wooden pews along the aisle. Weddings can be held in the chapel as well as outside on the beautiful patio.

Nestled in among gently swaying pines and numerous flower gardens stands the picturesque Chapel in the Pines, in Sycamore, Illinois.

One day my husband Howard came home from work, and I asked, "Honey, would you build me a little white church in the corner of the hayfield?" Without a question, he said, "Okay, I can do that." As Howard was finishing the chapel, people kept stopping by and asking, "Can we get married here?" And so the fairy tale began.

Howard finished the little white Chapel just in time for our **th wedding anniversary. Four years later, the Chapel in the Pines was expanded to accommodate one hundred guests, without losing its quaint appeal.

The Chapel
Amenities in the chapel include candelabras, Chapel in the Pines unity candles, a music system ( inside and out), wedding videos, a kneeler, and aisle runners. Oh, and don't forget to ring the bell in the steeple after your wedding.

We had put the word out to antique stores that we were looking for some pews, so one day a man pulled in the yard with * pews in the back. They were nice but we said we needed more, and he said he knew where there are * more. We drove up to Pecatonia, Illinois, and picked them up. They came from a Methodist church by the Wisconsin border.

Videographers
To keep the video photographers off the altar, we installed * permanent cameras and hid them in flower boxes. Many guests do not even know the wedding is being video taped from * different angles.

Every wedding here at the Chapel in the Pines is always special. The couples are all unique as well as their wedding vows and services, the attire, music, etc.

The brides and grooms have arrived and departed the Chapel in the Pines by a number of modes of transportation, i.e. classic cars, horse and carriages, limos, antique fire trucks, motorcycles or their own vehicles. Howard and I are always excited about every wedding here but even more so when the couples come up with really neat themes.
