The Chapel Athens Reviews

We held our wedding reception at The Chapel Athens in June, and we are SO glad that we picked them! The venue was perfect for us: It’s a gorgeous setting within walking distance to all of downtown Athens, and we loved the indoor-outdoor ability of the space. We set up a tent in the outside courtyard, and guests enjoyed hanging out there in addition to the indoor space. The original church ceiling is beautiful and made for excellent acoustics for our band. One of the main feedback that we received from our guests was that they loved the food- multiple people told us that it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had! Meagan and her team made the night seamless- the buffet was efficient and quick, and nobody had to wait for a drink at the bar. Meagan was able to honor all of our extra requests. We would absolutely choose The Chapel Athens over and over again! Thank you for making the reception of our dreams!

My son and daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner was at The Chapel Athens on 5/17/2024, and thanks largely to Maddie and her wonderful staff, it was a truly memorable and wonderful evening! The venue is beautiful, and the food was delicious (several guests spoke to me about how good the food was,) but what I truly appreciated, as the mother of the groom who was planning this event, was Maddie's patient help throughout the process. She must have answered a million questions, always in a friendly and kind manner, and she thought of important details that I would NEVER have considered, but which were important! I was so grateful to have her help! I fully recommend The Chapel Athens and its staff!

Would 100% recommend this venue to anyone looking for a staff who is going to go above and beyond to make your experience unforgettable. Maddie, Lindsay, and the rest of the support staff were so great to work along with. They gave great input into different seating arrangements and layouts so that our reception highlighted all the things that were important to us. The food was absolutely amazing, and there are plenty of great options to choose from. They were also great with recommending diffent wedding day planners, photographers, bands, and other vendors who they have had great experiences with in the past. 10/10 recommend.

Choosing The Chapel Athens was our best decision when planning our wedding. We felt Maddie and her team always had our best interests at heart. She actually made an 11th-hour suggestion that ended up saving us several thousand dollars.

In addition to the venue being beautiful inside and out, the food was outstanding and something many of our guests commented on during the reception and the following days. We communicated to Maddie several specific, important components of our wedding ceremony and reception. She and her team understood the gravity and executed them flawlessly.

We cannot endorse this venue enough. Book it now!

We had the absolute BEST time at The Chapel Athens for our wedding! Maddie, Lindsey, and the team at the Chapel were so great to work with - they were super responsive and very helpful during the entire planning process. On the wedding day, the staff had everything under control and the day was very smooth (and if there were any hiccups I didnt even notice). The ceremony was perfectly set up, and the room flip was done fast and efficiently! We were very impressed at how efficient the staff was during the flip. Cocktail hour was smooth, and there was never a long line at the bar. One of my favorite parts of the night was the passed espresso martini’s for dessert! They were delicious and came around quickly to guests. Not to mention the food is AMAZING! The venue itself is gorgeous. When we booked our wedding the renovations were not yet complete, and we were a little nervous. However, Lindsey kept us updated on all the plans and her vision really came to life. I had numerous guest tell me that this was their favorite wedding venue they’ve seen. We could not have been more pleased with the venue and our experience with the staff. They exceeded our expectations in every way possible. Would definitely recommend this venue and group to anyone planning a wedding!

We cannot begin to sing the praises enough of the Chapel and their amazing team. We picked the Chapel even before renovations began on the historic venue all in part to the incredible vision cast by Lindsey and Maddie. Their team created the most magical wedding venue in downtown Athens, GA-- a little classic, a little modern- the perfect amount of character to accommodate any type and size of wedding. They kept us up to date throughout the whole process. Planning a wedding in a brand new space may seem daunting, but Lindsey and Maddie pulled it off brilliantly without any hitches. It was so easy to trust them throughout the process. It was beautiful and flawless. Their attention to detail and style is unmatched. From the upstairs bar area to the transitional outdoor area with heaters (great for a January wedding!!) to the mixture of new and original features, we were completely in awe. Our family and friends have been so incredibly complimentary of the staff, the venue, and everything with it. It was so perfect. We are so honored to have been the first wedding, and we cannot wait to see the chapel continue to grow and shine!

Maddie, Lindsey, and the team at the Chapel were so great to work with - they were super responsive upon initial contact about wedding weekend availability at their locations. We ended up selected the Chapel for our rehearsal dinner and welcome party, and it could not have been more perfect! With it being a new site/the project was still in development when we booked, their team knew exactly how to ensure timelines/plans/decor/etc would look and come together to make us feel confident in how our rehearsal dinner would come to life. Maddie was a fantastic partner in the food tasting/selection, seating timelines and flow of the night, planning to overall dinner atmosphere (picking out linens,recommendations on decor, etc) - the night went SO smoothly and turned out better than i could have ever imagined!! The space is stunning with its natural beautiful architecture, and makes for a perfect wedding weekend venue. Highly recommend Maddie, Lindsey and the whole team - and highly recommend The Chapel space!!!!

My husband and I got married at The Chapel on 4/20/2024, and it was spectacular. The venue itself is stunning, but it was our venue coordinator, Maddie, and her incredible staff who made our day absolutely perfect. The transition of the space from ceremony to reception was seamless, and cocktail hour on the patio in between was gorgeous. You will not regret having your wedding here!
