Ottawa Wedding Chapel Reviews

The Ottawa Wedding Chapel was a gorgeous venue we could book for an hour, and the staff helped with all the on-the-day logistics (greeting and directing guests, the timing of the music, etc.). The team at Ottawa Wedding Chapel was absolutely fantastic. I scheduled an appointment with Bonnie James to tour the chapel the month before we got married, and she answered all my questions. She gave me a few suggestions of things to do or consider for the day of the wedding, which was incredibly helpful. Leading up to the day of the wedding, our officiant Luella Antonin was fantastic when it came to drafting our vows and making sure they matched in length & sentiment. She answered our emails with questions and clarifications regarding the wedding logistics very quickly and clearly. When we met her the day of the wedding, we were immediately at ease - she was incredibly friendly and very welcoming (as was the whole team at the Ottawa Wedding Chapel). She confirmed some details with us regarding the logistics and held a light-hearted ceremony for us, which is exactly what we wanted. I have been singing the praises of the Ottawa Wedding Chapel since I got married, and won't stop suggesting it to people around me! October 2024

Lisa and I tied the knot at the Ottawa Wedding Chapel in Kenmore and the lovely Kes Smith of All Seasons Weddings was our officiant. Our special day was truly amazing and we are forever thankful for Kes and Bonnie James for their professionalism and their friendly and helpful guidance. June 2024

Our wedding at Ottawa Wedding Chapel was an absolute dream! The chapel’s beauty created the perfect setting for our special day. Bonnie and Luella were so helpful at each step. Also, Officiant Adrienne made the ceremony so personal and heartfelt, bringing warmth and meaning to every word. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place or person to guide us into this new chapter. Truly unforgettable! September 2024

The best thing about our wedding was EVERYTHING! It was a perfect day, from the weather, to the company we shared. This little chapel was filled with love and support. Bonnie was an incredible host/officiant. She helped us plan every step of the way, making sure we knew everything! She was very professional and friendly, some of the best customer service I have ever seen in my entire life. I could tell that she loves what she does for a living and she is a very hard worker! August 2024

- Natasha & Duncan

I just wanted to thank you and Bonnie for making our day extra special! You both were wonderful and helpful. I will highly recommend All Seasons Wedding and the Ottawa Wedding Chapel. Beautiful venue and people! August 2024

- Megan & Christopher

Recently had our intimate wedding here - affordable, easy to book online, and friendly coordinator, officiant and admin overall. Recommend for a stress-free wedding for a smaller party - ours was just immediate family (but the chapel can seat up to 150). Highly recommend! :) June 2024

- Emma & Nick

The process of booking and finding an officiant was more than phenomenal. Ottawa Wedding Chapel was one of the first results that showed up when searching for a small wedding venue. Bonnie was a great coordinator. Her expertise made it easy to trust her recommendation for an officiant for the type of wedding we were looking for. Rev Campbell was an excellent choice. As Christians, he was able to tie in our core values and beliefs into the ceremony which further cemented the covenant we have made before God during our marriage. We are also impressed by how everything was handled efficiently on such short notice. Thank you again for such a great ceremony and experience! Feb 2024

- Breann & Jesse

We had the perfect amount of family and friends celebrate with us in a beautiful venue. The planning process and rehearsal was smooth all the way through and made for a lovely wedding day. It was perfect. Bonnie and Jody are so professional and clearly enjoy what they do. The Ottawa Wedding Chapel is perfect for a smaller scale wedding. November 2023

- Dan & Carly

Thank you so much for everything :) It was a simple day, but very beautiful. August 2023

- Kaitlyn & Mahmut

Thank you for everything. The wedding was great. We are so happy. The family and friends enjoyed it very much. Thank you very, very much. July 2023

- Linh & Roberto

Kathleen and Bonnie were excellent. We couldn't ask for a better officiant and coordinator. We loved the services offered by Ottawa Wedding Chapel. June 2023

- Michelle & Jupiter

Booking our wedding online was incredibly easy and hassle-free. To Natasha, we wanted to express our deepest gratitude for the beautiful and heartfelt ceremony you conducted on our special day. Your presence and guidance truly made our wedding ceremony a cherished and memorable experience for both of us. Your eloquence and warm demeanor set the perfect tone. Thank you to the chapel for a wonderful experience. The warmth provided by all of you was greatly appreciated in the absence of our families. The chapel and the surroundings were the perfect location. Thanks again for helping us to secure pictures capturing the moment. June 2023

- Everton & Natalia

Thank you so much for an amazing day! It was everything we wanted! January 2023

- Ashleigh & Steve

Our officiant Shari Rowan was amazing, and far surpassed our expectations of wedding officiant. From getting the groomsmen to take the rehearsal seriously, to tearing up 3 words into our ceremony, to tying our hands together in a handfasting ceremony, and coming to the rescue when the bride’s step-sister was pooed on by a bird seconds before stepping into a photo with the family! Shari made sure our day was what we wanted! The coordinator Bonnie is probably my favourite person when I think back to my wedding planning days. She answered all my anxious-bride questions with ease and helped us scale back from a 125 guest dinner to a intimate 50 person cocktail party when we cancelled our previous venue. I make sure to tell everyone the venue name when showing off my photos. Your yellow door out back was a main reason we went with your venue as it fit our sunflower themed wedding perfectly! August 2022

- Sydney & Evan

A deep heartfelt thank you for all of your assistance in planning and officiating our perfectly simple ceremony. It was an absolutely perfect day! August 2022

- Sarah & Patrick

Bonnie was very friendly and professional. We felt prepared and everything was taken care of which is exactly what we wanted. It was a wonderful experience. The church was beautifully decorated and maintained. The outside grounds were also beautiful. The whole experience was what we exactly what we expected and more. Thank you, would highly recommend. August 2022

- Crystal & Glenn

Bonnie, Thank you for being so amazing to myself and my family! Such an awesome experience we had, you and your team knew exactly what to do and what we needed. It's incredible how emotionally satisfying our day turned out. Thank you, thank you for sharing our moment and making it truly magical! God bless you. June 2022

- Stephanie & Alfonzo

We just wanted to thank you for the wonderful ceremony we had for our wedding. Everything was so easy planning it with Ottawa Wedding Chapel and Luc made it completely exceptional. Luc, many thanks for the way you made the ceremony, you made it charismatic and so lovely. It was a mix of emotions but at the end, we are completely satisfied and happy the way everything took place. July 2022

- Rita & Alex

You guys really made our special day wonderful -- very nice staff and a great and experienced officiant Bonnie. Thank you so much. May 2022

- Lorraine & Divan

I want to thank the Ottawa Wedding Chapel staff for an amazing wedding. A huge thank you to Bonnie! She was absolutely incredible and will recommend her to everyone. The building is breathtaking and I fell in love the second I saw it. I really enjoyed the congratulations sign out front. Definitely a perfect touch to a special day. January 2022

- Jessica & Chris

Dr. Alan Viau was an amazing officiant. Our grand-daughter was not cooperating on that day and Alan just rolled with it, he made a joke out of it and then moved on with the ceremony :). We received tons of compliments on how personal the speech and ceremony wording was. Everyone had good things to say about the ceremony. Chapel staff were so helpful with helping us navigate planning a wedding in a pandemic! Bonnie went out of her way to accommodate us for both the ceremony and our rehearsal. One comment: the chapel is not wheelchair accessible. Someone needs to help any people with disabilities up 7 stairs but once in, the staff is very accommodating for putting away wheelchairs and being flexible about setting up for them prior and after the ceremony to allow folks to help the person. The chapel is absolutely stunning. Our experience was genuinely great! November 2021

- Lyne & Pierre

We had an amazing wedding. We wanted something small but the Ottawa Wedding Chapel made it feel like such a special day for us. Bonnie was amazing. All of our guests kept commenting afterwards on how she seemed like she had known us forever she was so invested. December 2021

- Jess & Jason

We wanted to thank you kindly for the beautiful ceremony. It was exactly what we wished for, and everything went so smoothly and easily. Thank you for helping us make our big day unforgettable! We absolutely loved the gorgeous chapel and its beautiful backyard. Credit to Konstantin Avramets for the photo. September 2021

- Irina & Hamid

Thank you very much for all of your help, patience, and support in the process of getting our wedding planned and executed in such a short time frame. We truly appreciate your kindness, proactiveness, and helpfulness throughout the entire process. We couldn't have done it without your help! I am happy and proud to say that we got married at Ottawa Wedding Chapel. We definitely made the right choice & have pictures/memories to last a lifetime. Thank you for being so helpful on our special day!!! June 2021

- Andressa & Guillermo

Everything was amazing!! Thank you for helping us make the day exactly what WE wanted! May 2021

- Sylvain & Kathleen

We were very lucky to get Joan Bruce-Nibogie to officiate our wedding at the Ottawa Wedding Chapel. It couldn't be more perfect!! Joan is approachable, kind, professional and such a good soul! She helped made our day special and unforgettable. We also want to thank Bonnie James for her amazing job and help with the chapel, which is an incredible place to host a wedding. Thanks for helping us make this possible during these tough times! May 2021

- Samara & Joshua

Thank you for the lovely ceremony. You did a fabulous job and it was perfect for us.? We particularly liked how you were able to do a bilingual ceremony, much appreciated. Natasha was great and Bonnie was also super friendly and helpful. Thanks again for all your help and support. It was a magical day for us. April 2021

- Carole & Jean-Paul

The people behind the chapel are very accommodating and professional. They patiently answered all of our questions. Bonnie was able to move things around for us even with short notice and opened the chapel just to accommodate us before the lockdown. She is easy to reach and made us feel confident during our ceremony. The ceremony went very smoothly and our guests loved every moment of it, as well as the ambiance of the chapel itself. This place is phenomenal for any wedding you might be planning. The overall wedding experience went above and beyond our expectations and we highly recommend The Ottawa Wedding Chapel as a venue and Rev. Rob Campbell as an officiant. December 2020

- Dacelle & Kalen

Bonnie (James), We wanted to say thank you for your help in setting up the chapel for us. You were amazing right from the beginning, always quick and thorough in your responses. The chapel was beautifully prepared for our day. Everything was absolutely perfect :) Thank you again, Lisa & Alex, September 2020

- Lisa & Alex

Both Mark and I were thrilled with you (Bonnie) and all of the staff at the chapel. You were warm and friendly and made the day so special for all of us. We really can't thank you enough. The words you said for our ceremony were simple, short and sweet but still filled with deep sentiments of love and made our little ceremony ours. We loved every second with you guys at the chapel and would recommend you in a heartbeat to anyone. Maryse & Mark, August 2019

- Maryse & Mark

The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating to our our personal needs. We received the best of both worlds on our wedding day...the chapel setting and the chance to have a very intimate ceremony! Bonnie (James) was exceptional and put us both at ease,and our two witness that were provided for us were respectful and took the time to get to know a little bit about us before the ceremony, which we appreciated very much. We would most definitely recommend The Ottawa Wedding Chapel for your own special day! Michael & Stacey, September 2019

- Michael & Stacey

We had our ceremony at the Ottawa Wedding Chapel (which was also amazing and we also highly recommend) so got to work with Bonnie. Bonnie was also very helpful and friendly. We also couldn’t have done it without her. All of the All Seasons wedding staff were an integral part of our day. Allan & Anita August 2019

- Allan & Anita

Most beautiful wedding ever. Kathleen (Everett) was amazing. Bonnie was so awesome. I will recommend anyone else who wants to get married to get married at the Ottawa Chapel. It’s not about the quantity it’s about the quality of people attending the wedding. Henri and I found true love. I thank my son and daughter in law. They got married at the church two years ago. I fell in love with the location. It feels like home. Henri & Gabrielle, July 2019

- Henri & Gabrielle

We loved the venue and their catered reception! We are so happy we chose Ottawa Wedding Chapel! Eugene & Amy May 2019

- Eugene & Amy

This service ended up being simply amazing!!! It was exactly what we needed and were looking for. Bonnie James was so inviting, accommodating, and, such a pleasure to work with. Her assistant was so helpful with instructing us, as well as getting things organized for music etc. It was just a perfect, stress free, beautiful ceremony. Thank you so much. April, 2019

- Roland & Karen

My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better ceremony. Natasha St-Jean and Bonnie James made us feel very welcome and comfortable and that's saying a lot because we are both very shy people. Even though the weather wasn't on our side that day, both of these amazing ladies made it one of the best days of our lives. Natasha helped us customize our vows beautifully and made my kids feel so special by letting them "sign" the wedding certificate with finger print stamps! Thank you all so much for making this day so memorable. xxoo Jillian & Michael Feb 2019

- Jillian & Michael

We just wanted to take the time to email you and say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day so perfect. The Ottawa Wedding Chapel felt like a hidden gem, a very unique and beautiful place to get married, we received countless compliments on it. Thank you for all of your help in planning and answering my many questions, and on the day itself to ensure things ran smoothly. You were wonderful to work with and we loved our officiant Kathleen. We have been raving about you all to our friends and will most definitely recommend you to others in the future. Olivia & Stephen, September 2018

- Olivia & Stephen

Jody (Haucke) was fantastic! He was professional but lively and fun (and a snappy dresser! Pocket watch!). Ahead of time, he asked us all the right questions, including many we hadn't thought of, and improved our 15-minute ceremony in about 5 different ways. He's a great speaker and conducted the ceremony beautifully -- you can really tell he's a trained actor! We felt completely at ease with him and super happy with our ceremony. Several of the guests also commented on how good he was. Nabil (Benbouza, from the chapel) helped us out with the wedding and did an amazing job. He was thorough, professional, and ready to answer any question, as well as anticipate needs we hadn't thought of yet. Great guy! From start to finish, we had an easy, enjoyable experience with the Ottawa Wedding Chapel and All Seasons. It's a beautiful, simple location with wonderful staff and officiants for an insanely good price. You can't go wrong! Joanna & Bernard, September, 2018

Thank you so much for your help coordinating our wedding last weekend. The chapel was beautiful, and we were so happy that we chose to be married there. Thank you for all your help and hard work! Josée-Anna & Liam, September 2018

- Josée-Anna & Liam

We wanted to take a moment and thank Nicola (Wolters) our officiant and Bonnie at the Ottawa Wedding Chapel in Kenmore for a great wedding day. From my first contact with Bonnie to the actual ceremony everything went smoothly. We wanted a small but still romantic wedding. This was accomplished. The inside of the chapel is nice and cozy. The windows bring elegance to the place. The grounds outside were beautiful, especially for the pictures. To our surprise Nicola incorporated a lot of little things we had told her into the ceremony which was great. We had 10 kids under 10 and the 20 min ceremony was perfect. My kids were well received and took part in our wedding. Thank you so much for making this day even more amazing. Troy, Lyne, Peyton and Dallas June 2nd, 2018

Fantastic and beautiful chapel, with wonderful people to make our special day run smoothly. Our officiant Jody (Haucke) was great. He has an air of humour that was perfect for us. We have already mentioned (the chapel) to several people. Wendy & Condy, April 8, 2018

- Wendy & Condy

Nicola Wolters and the rest of the Ottawa Wedding Chapel staff were super supportive and enthusiastic about our special day. They were friendly, well prepared, and they spent much time not only on the ceremony, but also in completing the paperwork to ensure that our wedding certificate would be completed and submitted in a timely way.

- Leonard & Alessandra

We thought that everything was well done, and our guests thought the food was delicious. The entire staff was helpful throughout the process and would highly recommend the Ottawa Wedding Chapel to others. We had Natasha as our officiant and she was great. Everything was just perfect for our special day! Thank you to everyone! Katie & Chester Feb 19th, 2017

- Katie & Chester

The chapel was beautiful, just the right size and with two bathrooms to get ready in. Every room was completely photogenic, and the outside was every bit as scenic as the inside. I couldn't believe the place came as cheap as it did. We were running late because of bad weather, and the staff were so kind and accommodating. Our officiant, Natasha, seemed every bit as happy and excited as we were. Everyone was so genuinely supportive and joyful, it truly made us feel cared for and celebrated. There were absolutely no issues with pronouns despite several people being transgender in my wedding party and guests, and not even a hiccup over using my husband's preferred name and pronouns in the ceremony and on the non-legal part of the marriage license. The level of care and service we got on our special day was what truly made it special. Natasha even hugged us at the end, and teared up during the ceremony! Her love for what she does was beautiful! Whether eloping like my husband and I did, or looking for an actual spot to invite all of your family and friends to, I would highly recommend the Ottawa Wedding Chapel! The location, scenery, decorations, staff, officiants, and price are perfect beyond anything I could have dreamed of! If I ever have any event like this again, I wouldn't hesitate to book this space! Feb. 15, 2017

- Alyssa & Donald

Everyone at All Seasons Weddings was great! Very organized and stress free. Our officiant Natasha St-Jean was amazing, made us feel so comfortable and at ease. You really get quite the wedding experience in the packages they offer! Highly recommended. Thanks so much! Julie and Kevin Dec 4th, 2016

- Julie and Kevin

The chapel was perfect, and the ceremony went very well. Natasha St-Jean was a very kind officiant, and the organizers did a good job throughout the process and on the day of the wedding. Our wedding was simply perfect. Wonderful. Magical.

- Sylvain & Orhana

I cannot express enough how amazing Kathleen Everett was with us, from the moment we met her to see the Ottawa Wedding Chapel she made us feel so welcome and warm. We look back on our wedding day and smile at the thought of our ceremony, with our son running around at our feet she breezed through the ceremony with ease. If you want a sweet, sincere officiant who is genuinely excited to marry you and be a part of your special day, do not hesitate to meet with Kathleen!

- Karina & Arley

Thank you so much for all of the warmth, assistance, and well wishes you provided us for our wedding. We are so grateful to have been able to get married at the beautiful chapel in our new hometown; you helped make it perfect!

- Andy & Sonja

Hi Natasha, Thank you so much for the fantastic job you did for (and with) us on Monday. The ceremony went off beautifully, and we have heard so many amazing comments from people. They loved the ceremony as a whole, individual bits and pieces, the light hearted aspects of it. But we have also heard great comments about you, and the job you did. You managed to guide us (and our audience) through a ceremony that spoke to their hearts, and to who we are as people. Thank you so much for being willing to try this ceremony style, and working with our sense of humour. Thank you seems so inadequate for the role you played in our big day, but it will have to do. Nigel and Kenora Sept 26th, 2016

- Nigel and Kenora

I was very happy with the service that we got. We had many wonderful comments from family and friends on how the Ottawa Wedding Chapel was so beautiful and the ceremony breathtaking. Our officiant, Michael O'Callaghan was amazing, very attentive and made sure that everything we wanted was done. He was very helpfull, answered all our questions and got us the information if he didn't know the answer already. Just amazing! The office staff were also so helpful, gave us all the information in a timely manner. Having 3 kids it was hard to find time to go visit the chapel, my daycare closed early one day and we decided to call the office to go visit that afternoon and there was no problem. We were very happy about that. I've already referred you to many friends.

- Cynthia-Ann & Francis

Our ceremony in your wedding chapel was the most wonderful day of our lives. We exchanged our vows in a beautiful, cozy and warm country chapel located in the village of Kenmore. Natasha St-Jean our officiant was just amazing. We were excited and at the same time nervous and Natasha guided us professionally through our ceremony with a touch of humour. If someone is looking to create a special moment for a special day I would highly recommend your chapel anytime. Thank you for making our wedding day so special. We will cherish this day for the rest of our lives.

- Lise & Luc

Kathleen , you are the best! Even though it was a small wedding everyone enjoyed the ceremony . The food was great and the presentation great The staff were polite and we will definately recommend your services. Thank you!

- Ghislaine & Ian

Hi Natasha, Tyler and I wanted to take the time to properly thank you for all the hard work you did before, during and I'm sure after our wedding day. You played such a pivotal role in making this day special, you went above and beyond what we felt an officiant should do, all so that we would feel comfortable and happy. We want to thank you for always being there either by phone, email or in person to chat and to answer our questions and not once did you ever make us feel rushed and we certainly appreciated your positive and charismatic attitude and personality. I remember the first meeting we had with you and you reflected that the wedding day was our day. Well we could see that you live by that motto; your flexibility, acceptance, support, care and attention to detail allowed our wedding ceremony to not only be memorable but be personal and unique to us and our family. We want to thank you for your guidance throughout the entire process. We will continue to recommend you to all our friends and family. Take care and all the best, Antoine and Tyler 07/30/2015

- Antoine and Tyler

This lovingly restored chapel is a hidden gem! I will be directing friends and colleagues to the Ottawa Wedding Chapel for weddings and naming or baptism ceremonies. I wish I had more reasons to spend more time in this peaceful, beautiful space! Pamela Leader, our officiant, was very friendly, outgoing, and patient with us as my partner and I crafted out perfect ceremony. Her responses were prompt as well and her feedback useful. Each of our experiences with everyone involved were positive and useful. From visiting the chapel to getting important instructions for the ceremony itself. The staff have been wonderful to work with. Thanks again!..
