This chapel was amazing!! Perfect spot for my husband and I to get married. Highly recommend!!
Our wedding was on 4/3/21 and it was absolutely perfect. The chapel is stunning and the coordinators (Kaitlin and Debbie) are fantastic.
The Chapel at St. Aloysius is absolutely beautiful! I mean, you can't beat the stained glass! It was perfect for our wedding (allowed for social distancing). The staff was super helpful and organized. Highly recommend!

and they had our best interests in mind- from our music recommendations to keeping time at our wedding. Working with Katie and Debbie was a great experience.
What a blessing this chapel was for us! The chapel is absolutely picturesque, and the staff truly went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Debbie and her team helped guide us through the wedding process, not once, but twice due to Covid...

The Chapel at St. Aloysius is a Cincinnati architectural gem! When we stepped through the Chapel doors, my daughter and her fiance instantly fell in love and our wedding venue search was over. The Chapel is beautiful in it's own right and nee...

Debbie's communication is fast and helpful. She goes above and beyond to meet your needs and the needs of your guests.

Debbie has great suggestions for music, ministers and any other services you might need. If you are considering St. Aloysius for your wedding ceremony, your search is over, book it now!
This chapel is BEAUTIFUL and was perfect for our ceremony. We loved the feel Of the church the second we walk in, and was the perfect compromise for my non-Catholic husband as it is non-denominational. The added bonus is that the money spent on...
the rental goes back to the children’s center to help low income and underprivileged kids get the school help they need.
Debbie and Amie were amazing to work with and went out of their way to ensure we had a perfect day.

I would highly recommend!
The chapel is absolutely beautiful and made for a wonderful place to have our ceremony. Debbie and Kaitlyn were both so great to work with! Can't thank them enough for all their help!!
From the moment we saw this place we knew this was where we wanted to get married. The place is absolutely beautiful and Debbie was amazing to work with. They have done many wedding and knew exactly how to do things. It really set my mind at ea...
se. I would highly recommend St. Aloysius. Also, proceeds of the cost goes to the orphanage. That was one of the reasons we chose this place.
The Perfect Venue! From start to finish with all sorts of COVID adjustments in between, we could not have found a better place to say "I do". The venue is hands-down gorgeous and the ladies are top-notch professionals. No extra decorations w...
ere needed. Located in the heart of Cincinnati, the location is perfect and close to the highway! St. Aloysius is a hidden gem. Oh, did I mention the professionalism??? Both Debbie and Katie were always available to answer any questions and very accommodating to us and our guests. We became like family. My husband and I are so grateful to you for making our wedding just absolutely amazing!!!
I was planning on having my ceremony at a different location which fell through about 6 months before our wedding. I was in panic mode and emailed several other ceremony sites. My emails were probably a little crazy because of the stress I was...
feeling. I then remembered we went to a ceremony at the Chapel several years ago and my now husband remembers really loving it. I emailed Debbie and she emailed me back right away and calmed me down. She said not to worry and she would hold my date even though I hadn't looked at the venue yet or met her. I later found out she was on vacation and wasn't 'supposed' to check her emails but she could tell I was so upset that she wanted to put me at ease ( how nice!!). Once I met her and we toured the venue I knew it felt right and was actually better (and less expensive) than my first venue that fell through. Things happen for a reason I guess. THEN, the guy that was going to be our officiant fell through just a few months before the wedding (I know right?) and Debbie stepped in and said she would do it! What a relief!! She did a great job and was easy to work with the entire time. Thank you so much for an amazing experience and thank you for marrying us Debbie!
My husband and I had our ceremony at the wedding chapel at St. Aloysius, and we are beyond thrilled with our experience! From start to finish, both Debbie and Amie were nothing but professional and so easy to work with. They did everything they...
could to ensure that our day ran smoothly and was as stress free as possible. The chapel is absolutely gorgeous and we couldn’t have picked a more perfect place to have our ceremony. Highly recommend to anyone looking for their ceremony site for their wedding.
This was a beautiful chapel! They were very flexible with us and worked to help us create the ceremony we wanted!
My husband and I got married at the chapel on October 5th and our ceremony could not have been more perfect. The chapel is gorgeous - we were able to utilize the minimal decoration provided by the chapel (i.e. pew bows, flowers, etc.) and it tr...
uly needed nothing more. Kaitlin was an absolute dream to work with as our day of coordinator. We met with her the week before our wedding and she walked us through everything and patiently answered all our questions. During the rehearsal and on the wedding day she managed our large bridal party with grace and ease. She made sure everything went off without a hitch and truly made our ceremony the easiest and most wonderful part of our day. I would highly recommend this venue - beautiful, affordable, and easy from start to finish!
I just had my wedding here in October 2019 and I cannot sing it's praises enough. We wanted a non-religious ceremony, but in a gorgeous classic setting. Debbie was such a pleasure to work with. This was the first venue we toured and we fell in ...
love and booked it immediately. There is a huge bridal suite with so much natural lighting and our pictures in the hallway by the windows, the staircases, the courtyard, upstairs in front of a huge stain glass window and the staircase in front of another stain glass window were absolutely incredible. The chapel has the capacity to hold a lot of guests, but is just the right size. It felt intimate and was the best day of my life. The alter is rich and ornately decorated with gold details. We loved the space so much, we even had our first dance on the marble floor. Would not recommend any other venue for your wedding, St. Al's was perfect.
My Husband and I recently got married this October, 2019. Everything went well with my initial set up and process until two weeks prior to our wedding date. We got set up with a new person at the last minute. She had us resubmit all of our pa...
perwork. Which I was confused why they wouldn't have all this information on file but refilled out and set it her way instantly. I even sent her word for word on what the officiant was going to say. A few days later we had our meeting/walk through. She wasn't ready when we got there, and didn't even look at the email we sent with all our paperwork/ information. At this point I'm wondering why we wasted our time ( since we were already slammed with a bunch of last minute meetings prior to the wedding). We left and my husband reassured me it would be okay. The day of the wedding was awful. It took her 30 minutes to even open the special door the bridal party needed to go though to get in. While I had guests watching me outside ( which wouldn't be a big deal any other day but I didn't want my guests to see me until i walked down the aisle). Next, she didn't notify anyone when it was time to go from the back room to the ceremony. My husband had to run around and notify everyone on both parties when and where to go. Then, I notice my front two rows on the bridal side weren't even filled because she didn't direct the guest to fill in the gaps. I understand there needed to be room for the parents and grand parents of the bride but not two full open rows. ( which we had people standing and trying to find where to sit because it was a full house) so our pictures looked awkward and a bunch of guests had to stand. Luckily my friend was able to tell some people to go sit in the correct spots so it didn't look even worse. Lastly, she never gave or told the officiant where his mic was ( he was there an hr before the wedding began) so no one besides the first row could hear the wedding. Never thought I would be a person to complain to a vendor but she was down right AWFUL. Hopefully if you go here you will just get to work with Debbie. Because the chapel is beautiful and has so much potential. Good luck future brides.
My husband and I recently got married at St. Aloysius and I could not be happier with our choice to celebrate our special day at this venue. Not only is the chapel absolutely gorgeous, Debbie and Kaitlin were so professional and kind throughout...
the planning process. We were on a budget and were afraid we would have to sacrifice the quality of a venue to fit it but we didn't at all here! I am so thankful that such a beautiful, well organized and important establishment exists in our community. My wedding day was everything I envisioned and more. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone in search of the perfect chapel for their big day. Just call Debbie, I promise you the rest will be history. :)
We had our wedding at St. Al's in early August. The ceremony could not have gone any more perfectly! The chapel is beautiful, it was air conditioned well for our large crowd, the staff were delightful to work with and very accommodating. St. Al...

We got married here in May and had an amazing experience. Debbie and Amie are wonderful to work with. We were in communication with them from the visit a year prior to our wedding, to the rehearsal the night before. If you need a beautiful, non...

We got married here in May, and they were fantastic from the first meeting through the entire process. Debbie and her team made it easy and were thoughtful in all of their recommendations and help. Having someone there during the wedding (and r...
ehearsal the night before) ensured that I didn't have to worry about anything on the day of the wedding. Debbie herself is a dream to work with, and the space is stunning. I loved that we were able to get that church experience without the confines of the Catholic church. Pair them with Bill Proud, and you've got a wedding that will make your mom and your husband happy!
We just had our wedding here in April and it was absolutely beautiful! Debbie and her team were wonderful and always available to answer any questions. My husband and I don’t belong to a church and had a very hard time finding a place for a non...
denominational ceremony that wasn’t outdoors. I was thrilled to find St. Aloysius. It had the feel of a church but we got to choose the theme and flow of our ceremony. I would recommend St. Aloysius to any bride!

The bridal suit is so nice and big and well decorated. The chapel is just the right size to where you feel like the seats are full but everyone isn't crammed in.
We had 2 guys playing guitar and the acoustics in the chapel are great, they didn't even need to use the microphones and speakers. I did hear a comment about not being able to hear everything the minister said but there was also a crying niece in the crowd as well.
Parking is convenient and the chapel is right off the exit. Photos in and out of the chapel are a beautiful background, including the court yard with the garden lights on.
I am so happy this place opened up for us to have our wedding here. Everything went smooth and we had a lot of compliments on how nice the ceremony was. One happy couple here!
The Chapel at St. Aloysius is the perfect place to get married! We had a very short ceremony, but very meaningful, peaceful and memorable. I love the Bridal’s room as well. I would like to thank Debbie for everything. She was great, she made fo...
r a very personal and heartfelt experience. She was great at all of her rolls and was very open to any of our thoughts or changes. I highly recommend her
Oh my goodness-- what's not to love about St. Aloysius?! From the moment we walked in, we were speechless. We are not catholic and we don't necessarily belong to a church so finding a place that felt right had become daunting. But St. Al's hit ...
all of our wants and needs. The chapel speaks for itself with the stained glass, beautiful alter and intricate details. Our pictures are beautiful. As for the grounds, we did all of our portraits in the courtyard and they were perfect. They just recently renovated the bridal suite and it was the PERFECT place for all of us girls to get ready and I took several of my bridal portraits in there as well. Everything turned out amazing and Amy and Debbie were a joy to work with! Amy coordinated our ceremony and she worked seamlessly with our pre-hired day of coordinator. If something went wrong, I still don't know about it! Highly recommend!
If you're looking to have a non-denominational wedding ceremony that still has that classy, formal feel, this is the venue! The wedding coordinator was patient, attentive, and detail-oriented. Also, though it's an old church, it's handicap ac...

St. Aloysius was the perfect ceremony venue for us! When we were looking at where to get married, we knew we wanted something with a religious background. This was perfect, because I grew up Catholic but no longer practice, yet having the stain...
glasses windows, wooden pews, and beautiful marble altar gave me a sense of the tradition I grew up with. Both Debbie and Kaitlyn were amazing to work with and made sure our day went nothing less than perfect. We would definitely recommend the chapel to anyone looking to get married in Cincinnati!
St. Aloysius is an amazing ceremony venue! I loved the spiritual feel without all the religious hoops most churches require. The chapel is breathtaking, the bridal suite is spacious, and the courtyard is a great space for photos.
Prettiest chapel! Debbie was amazing and so easy to work with! Highly recommend
Our daughter had a beautiful and memorable ceremony at this venue. For the rehearsal, Ashley, Rob and Eric did a great job with walking us through how the service would go, asking for our input and making sure that everything was covered. They ...

The day of the wedding the church was decorated and was beautiful. The music was awesome and Rob gave a service that we will never forget - very inspiring! Ashley, thanks for your patience and helping our daughter on a very important day.
A beautiful venue and beautiful service by top notch professionals. My thanks and appreciation for making this such a beautiful day for the newlyweds!
My son and his bride were married here and I was taken aback by the lack of attention to detail the coordinator afforded their ceremony. The venue was lovely and the pastor
performed a beautiful service, but most guests could not hear any of ...
it, as the microphone had a faulty cord. This was inexcusable! This detail should be checked out before the ceremony. There was also a bridal suite available that was locked. The bridal party stayed on the bus, while the parents and grandparents were left milling around the back of church. We didn’t even know there was a coordinator as we never saw her. I would recommend thinking twice about using this venue!

The most beautiful chapel in Cincinnati! Debbie and Amie were so helpful and easy to work with. We loved the freedom to decorate however we wanted and to bring in whatever officiant we wanted. The 3 hour time block is a little tight but Amie ke...

When we were deciding on where to have our ceremony, we both agreed that we wanted the feel of a church, without the restrictions on who could marry us or how the ceremony was run. St Aloysius was perfect for us! Debbie is so organized and he...
lped us create a perfect day. Kaitlin was also very helpful in helping the day run smoothly. The chapel is gorgeous, and created the feeling of an intimate ceremony, while comfortably seating all of our guests (~200). We had minimal additional decorating to do. Debbie and Kaitlin worked easily with our other vendors to ensure that everything would run smoothly, and they were also very flexible with us when we needed to make some changes with timing. St Aloysius is the perfect venue if you're looking for a unique and personal ceremony, with the feel of a gorgeous church wedding!
Awesome venue for a church wedding! Kaitlyn was fantastic, easy to work with and helped keep everything going for the rehearsal and wedding. Highly recommend this gorgeous venue!
A+! This venue was exactly what my husband and I were looking for! It was beautiful and Debbie and Amie helped make the day run smoothly. We had 200 guests in the chapel (definitely room for more) but it still felt nice and intimate. I loved th...

We had a perfect wedding day thanks to the wonderful staff at St. Aloysius! Debbie was beyond amazing when planning our wedding day for over year. She was very helpful and professional. We enjoyed getting married in a venue that had the church ...
feeling without having to be a member. Our day of coordinator, Amie made everything run smoothly and perfectly for our rehearsal and wedding ceremony. We had a 5:30 ceremony time and Amie helped us stay organized for everything to run on time. I would do it all again and thank Debbie and Amie for making our wedding day a dream come true!
St. Aloysius is by far one of the most gorgeous chapels I've ever seen. I love Catholic Churches, but didn't think I'd be married in a church with such amazing characteristics since I'm not Catholic. This non-denominational rental venue provid...

Absolutely perfect little chapel for a wedding ceremony! It is so beautiful and quaint - perfect for our guest count of ~220. Everyone could hear us say our vows - unlike in those overly huge chapels - and the music sounded so lovely with the a...

Stunning church and top notch planning assistance! Our wedding pictures are beautiful and had to do little to no decorating. The church comfortably sat all approx. 300 guests.
St. Aloysius Chapel is a beautiful and quaint church. Any demonination can be married there and you can use your pastor. We fell in love with it from the second we walked in. Debbie was so helpful, leading up to the wedding, and made the planni...

Debbie is the best to work with! She has made this process much more enjoyable. She is organized and willing to go above and beyond to help in any way!! I highly recommend!!!
My husband and I are not catholic but wanted the opulence of a cathedral to keep our church wedding dream so this rental space was great. Everything looked perfect and I enjoyed working with the main coordinator Debbie throughout the planning b...
ut once the night of the rehearsal arrived, I was disappointed to find that a new person, Amy would be working with us from then on. She spent the whole rehearsal arguing with our minister because he wasn't running it the way she was used to and even talked badly about him to my bridal party! I tolerated her for the duration of the wedding and had a beautiful day anyways but I hope she has a better attitude the next time she runs a rehearsal.
We had a wonderful experience with St. Aloysius Chapel! I felt very involved with the planning and Debbie was very easy to work with and accommodating. It is a gorgeous chapel and we were able to personalize our ceremony and make it unique to u...

Our son and daughter-in law were married at St Aloysius Chapel located on Reading road in Cincinnati Ohio, this past September 2014. Since we were all from out of state, it made planning a wedding a bit complicated. We are extremely grateful f...
or Debbie Buerger, the Manager of St. Aloysius Chapel. Debbie was very professional, but personal , and made sure every detail was covered. She answered all our questions, and if we needed to make any changes, she made sure it was completed. After months of planning, the big wedding day arrived. Debbie had provided a wedding coordinator for the wedding rehearsal, and the day of the wedding. She helped everything go on without a glitch. The inside of the chapel is gorgeous , just as shown in the pictures. The weather was perfect.
At the wedding reception, several of the guest kept commenting how beautiful St. Aloysius Chapel is, and if they had a son or daughter getting married they would choose to be married here. We would highly recommend using St Aloysius Chapel if you are planning your wedding. We are grateful we chose St. Aloysius Chapel, and were fortunate to have Debbie making sure this was a special day.
OMG! This chapel is truly a hidden gem in the middle of Cincinnati. The ambiance gave me a feeling of olde world charm of a traditional catholic church by providing an unimaginable gorgeous alter, sky high arches and exquisite stained glass win...
dows.
While viewing the chapel I was just left in awe by how a chapel being built in 1923 could:
1)fit 320 people
2)have such an elegant atmosphere
3)be nondenominational.
All of these were directing by Debbie, the rental manager, who was very nice and so accomodating. She was able to help me with all of my questions and concerns. Debbie went above and beyond to help me with last minute issues.
NOTE: All glowing words aside I know that while I am getting married I am helping with an important charitable cause. The chapel's old orphanage now turned school helps the youngesters first hand.
I was married in St. Aloysius Chapel September 20th. The chapel is extraordinary! If the historic look and feel is the aesthetic you're going for, then I highly recommend checking out St. Aloysius! It's non-denominational so you can make the ce...
remony your own, which is what I did. I wish I could post photos from the ceremony to show how truly beautiful this venue is. I cannot recommend it enough!
From the start, Debbie was a treat to work with. She is very warm, and goes out of her way to accommodate in any manner she can. We were originally scheduled for an early ceremony, but I asked if there was any way possible for us to move to a later time, and Debbie made it happen! I think that one of the most important characteristics a vendor should have is the willingness to communicate...even over-communicate if necessary. Debbie never kept me in the dark, and it gave me a sense of order amid chaos.
Visit St. Aloysius to see for yourself. I don't want to sound like a cheesy sales person or anything, but I just had the most wonderful experience and want to share with everyone I can!
The Chapel was absolutely beautiful and Debbie, the girl who we booked through was very helpful every time we spoke. She answered all my questions and was very helpful in the planning of the wedding.
I thought the price for the chapel was a ...
little high, but overall it was beautiful and everyone talked about how gorgeous the chapel was.
