Had my daughters wedding on March 1st 2020. Beautiful place to have your wedding. That are so helpful with all you need. I would recommend this place to any parent who is looking to have their Daughters best day of her life.
The owner John is respectful and professional. He works his butt of to make sure your dream wedding becomes a reality! I will be recommending The Old Town Chapel to everyone I know that is getting married!!
I booked our wedding and reception at this location in the Vintage Old Town Wedding Chapel and beautiful courtyard yesterday!
I had the pleasure of taking a tour through the beautiful, unique and truly perfect establishment yesterday. I am such a fan of the feeling of this place, all of the antiques and elegant details throughout the property. I took my daughter, not my fiance as we were only supposed to be looking and accessing... but with the combination of the beauty and John being so knowledgeable and fun it just made the process so easy, there was just no doubt. This place is a hidden treasure and I cannot wait until we have our wedding here! If this site permits more than one review I will do a follow up comment after the wedding :)
Friendly and inviting staff. Gorgeous building with historic features. Beautiful place to have an event.
Amazing Chapel, I had my wedding here and loved it so much! The Chapel is so beautiful and John is so awesome and he helps you to have the best day ever! I can’t wait to have an event here again. The Chapel is capable for all events and that’s just amazing! Thank you John so much!
The Old Town Chapel is truly a hidden gem! Beautiful chapel with lots of character!! Staff are very professional and willing to help you with all the details to make your day memorable! I truly recommend!
I absolutely adore The Old Town Chapel! I had my wedding here in April and it was incredible. Not only was this such a beautiful venue but I really loved that I was able to have my ceremony and reception at one place. My ceremony was traditional, GORGEOUS and everything I ever wanted, and the same for my reception I had it outside with lighting hanging from above, walking down the stair case and throwing my bouquet from the top of that stair case was wonderful. I will never forget that bridal room either! Stunning! The Old Town Chapel made my wedding a wonderful and BEAUTIFUL day! Highly highly recommend!
The Home Town Chapel.
For the unique bride interested in historic flavor this is the perfect venue! Nestled in old town Bakersfield the Home Town Chapel is a hidden gem.
Friendly to your budget...an the opportunity to host your wedding an reception in one convenient location.
I had a very wonderful time at “The Old Town Chapel”.
There are very kind and positive people.
It’s such a beautiful church, I do recommend this area for any wedding.
My daughters wedding was absolutely gorgeous. We were able to give her the wedding of her dreams for a very reasonable price. From the chapel, to the ballroom and the outdoor dance floor it was all amazing.
Really fabulous place. If you are looking for a place that has a historical flare this is great. Really wonderful pictures. Has kinda a Tuscan country style. Like a castle in the middle of the city. The team was really great to work with. We particularly loved the church and the garden. Every thing was bright and shiny and fresh. They have a ballroom also. So many venues are blah with the same old standard stuff. This is truly a castle. We even got to ring the bell. Really memorable experience.
We have used this venue for several events and the setting is beautiful. It is very accommodating and the staff is absolutely great!
We will be using them again for a December event.
Thank you John Kilby for your excellent customer service!
