The Norman Chapel ($595 - Seats up to 200)
The chapel built in 1880 boasts several
beautiful stained glass windows and gargoyles. There is an intricate
pattern of arches and pillars of Bedford stone gracing the interior
chapel. Carved wooden beams support the ceiling and the floor
(although carpeted in some areas) is Belgian Marble. The chapel
houses a Baldwin electronic organ and sound system. While heated
in the cooler months, the chapel does not have air-conditioning.
It accommodates a total of 200 guests.
The Garden Courtyard ($595 - Seats up to 1,000)
The Garden Courtyard is located in the
front area of the cemetery/arboretum. It is planted with Hybrid Tea roses,
as well as other colorful annual flowers. The wedding
party is permitted to rent their own tents, chairs, wedding
arbor, etc., and will assemble/ disassemble their own set-ups.
Spring Grove will designate the appropriate site for tent
set-up. All equipment must be disassembled and removed from
site the eve of the event. In the event of inclement weather,
the Norman Chapel will be made available to the wedding party.
The Lakeside Chapel ($225 - Seats up to 25)
The Lakeside Chapel Complex offers a
more contemporary and intimate location for your ceremony.
Completed in 1991, the Chapel has accommodations for up to
25. The setting is ideal for a vow renewal ceremony or a second
wedding celebration. The Chapel has high, vaulted ceilings
and is framed by beautiful stained glass windows. Located
in one of the original historic sections of Spring Grove Cemetery,
the Complex overlooks scenic Willow Lake with its breathtaking
flower border that is ever changing with the seasons. Weather
permitting, the outdoor plaza with our Koi pond offers a unique
alternative for an open-air ceremony.
