All Saints Chapel is a magical place. There, I said it! We started on our wedding planning journey early 2019. We were originally going to have our wedding on the property of a friend of a friend, but as much as I could plan every detail, I c...ouldn’t control the weather and with a wedding date of 10-10-20, a hurricane in North Carolina is always possible. We decided to look at venues and I reached out to several in Raleigh and Durham. However, the very moment we stepped into the chapel, we knew this was THE PLACE. We planned for 100-120 guests, with the ceremony and reception at the chapel. When all things were considered, it was going to be VERY minimally more expensive than having the outdoor wedding (less than $1,000 less), but with none of the stress.
The staff at the chapel was beyond accommodating; with necessary changes due to Covid, they rolled with all of our changes. We went from the 100-120 guests to 10 guests and just the ceremony there, still planning on 10-10-20. At that point, we were okay with whatever we had to do.
Five days before the wedding - FIVE - my brother and his family got Covid. We immediately contacted all of our vendors to cancel. All Saints did everything they could to help us through it and plan again when we were ready. We decided to reschedule for 12-12-20, as a family member was going to be on a break from chemotherapy. Two weeks prior to this new wedding date, our family member took a turn for the worst and we knew that either they’d pass away by December 12, or they’d be close to that point. Either way, no one was going to feel like celebrating. What did we have to do? Yep, you guessed it, we cancelled…again.
We decided to take a break from planning for several months and finally decided to go for it again. This time, we just asked the chapel what they had open for March, 2022, and we took what they had open.
Throughout all of this, they could have charged us cancellation fees, etc., and we would have totally understood. However, they didn’t do that. What they did do, however, was exceed our expectations with class, professionalism, and care. I know this is a long review but it’s important to know the details and how they went more than above and beyond from that first moment we stepped into the chapel. It truly is a magical place and it gave us the wedding we couldn’t have even dreamed of.
