If I could give 0 stars, I would! Let's just start by saying the manager there is rude and very much unreasonable. I was so embarrassed when my guests received the cake that was provided as it was hard on the outside but the main reason, amongst many, for my bad review is the awful photos that I received for keepsake memories. They don't allow you to take your own photos or choose any of the photos that they take as per their policy, they pick the "best" photos for you. Well, the photos they chose were AWFUL and when I called to complain the manager was not helpful at all.

One photo in particular, they photo shopped our faces to look like monkeys. I assume because we're black and I expressed my dissatisfaction with that photo in particular. Don't choose this place, especially if you're people of color!

What a great little place to have a wedding. My husband and I got married there on May 7th the staff was very friendly and very helpful through the whole experience with us being out of state residents. Dressing rooms were nice and clean along with the chapel. The photographer was awesome as well super friendly. The whole experience was amazing. Thank you chapels by the sea for making the entire experience/ day amazing.

I was so happy with our wedding. Pastor Pam was so sweet and made us feel so welcomed. We had our ceremony in the chapel as it was raining but it still turned out perfect. The photographer (I can't remember her name) was outstanding and I can't wait to see our pictures. I would do this over again if I could! (with the same man of course lol) Thank you for giving me a memory to remember for a lifetime. Sincerely, Mr & Mrs Moore :)

The wedding chapel took care of everything for us. All we had to do is decide on a date, time and apply for marriage license. It was so simple to make the arrangements and that's exactly what we wanted. The day turned out to be beautiful and we were able to have the ceremony outside. Everything went as planned and there were no nervous jitters. We went to the beach to take pictures, which turned out great! Darlene, Pam, and Karen made everything perfect. I would recommend Wedding Chapel by the Sea to anyone who wants to avoid all of the stress that planning a wedding can bring! They get a 5/5 from us.
