The Chapel at St. Aloysius

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. 10/10 I would highly recommend!

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.

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!!!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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. :)

s is very organized. The space for the ladies to wait in was spacious and cool, and stocked with water. We had a live trio of musicians, and the acoustics sounded great. This chapel was 100% what we were looking for, and I recommend it to anyone!

ystem worked great for playing our music and the space is absolutely stunning.

th and super kind! Debbie is the best and so is Aimee!

or always being there for us and making our day so very special!!!

denominational church, St. Aloysius is the place for you!

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!

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!

ts. 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!

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

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!

cessible!

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!

were very gracious with listening and understanding everyone's wishes. 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!

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!

went a bit over our time limit. Debbie was very helpful and professional . I wish I could do it all over again.

pt the show rolling and it was no problem. Our Officiant and Photographer also kept things rolling so we never had an issue with time. If you are looking for a beautiful space but freedom to have the ceremony you want, St. Aloysius is a great place to do it.

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!

at we were able to get the look and history of a beautiful church and still make our own selections for the music and officiant. I would definitely recommend St. Aloysius!

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!

ed the best of both worlds. Debbie and Dawn (day of attendant) were both wonderful to work with and made sure all of my questions were answered and provided for an incredible ceremony.

coustic quality of the chapel. Debbie and Amie made the whole planning process so easy - we couldn't have been happier!

with the planning, rehearsal and wedding day. My wedding ceremony was on time and went beautifully. We got all of our pictures done with time to spare and were so happy with our choice of getting married there!

ng process smooth. Amie was our coordinator, for the day of, and she was wonderful as well. They have a beautiful courtyard too. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect church to be married in.

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.

s. The entire building has a very traditional feel with lots of character and great places for photos! We felt very comfortable and at home here and we would recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect ceremony location.

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.

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.

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!

little high, but overall it was beautiful and everyone talked about how gorgeous the chapel was.
