It raises awareness of Florida's cultural history while enhancing the enjoyment of historic sites for residents and tourists. The blue historic markers tell the stories of the people and places that were important to Florida's history and they can be found in front of schools, roads, archaeological sites, battlefields, cemeteries, historic buildings, and churches like this one. Historic marker F-1162 was installed in front of the Altamonte Chapel in 2021 by the Altamonte Chapel 2021 Board of Directors and the Florida Department of State. The Altamonte Chapel is a Florida Heritage site. The church was built in 1885 by settlers from New England. It was originally located near Lake Brantley and known as the Lake Brantley Union Church. A freeze in 1895 led to the area citrus crop being destroyed. The settlers were forced to leave the area and the church leading to it being transferred to Rollins College along with 2 acres of land in exchange for college tuition. In 1906 the church was purchased for $600 by Maxwell McIntyre a wealthy New Englander. He had the church dismantled and moved to its current location in Altamonte by wagon. By 1955 the church was once again holding services, weddings, baptisms, funerals, and other church events. This beautiful church is an example of the type of Carpenter Gothic style architecture you would see in New England. It was designed by a Boston architect, Josiah Clouse who also built other Central Florida landmarks. Standout features of the wooden structure include its stained glass windows and chapel bell. Sunday service is held weekly at 9:00 AM. As a fan of both architecture and historic churches, this beauty was a real thrill to find.

It is a super cute venue with cute little areas to take photos, a cute bridge with a waterfall and a cute gazebo for the ceremony. It is overall a very, very cute little place to have a small or casual wedding/elopement. My bestie gave me 8 days to plan her elopement and I found this little gem after we realized how gross the courthouse would be for the ceremony. It most definitely wasn't a venue for a larger wedding, but it was perfect for an elopement. We had 4 in our party and the day was not without stress or small hiccups, but overall it was perfect and affordable on short notice. Teresa provided great service and was accommodating on short notice. We did it on a Friday and we were luckily the only wedding party that day. My suggestion to the future bride is to be ready BEFORE you get there. The dressing room is small and getting ready there eats up your time for photos which made us feel a bit rushed. However, we didn't have a choice since we came from an hour away in Orlando and we didn't want the bride to be wrinkling her dress in an Uber for an hour. We made the best of it, the photos turned out great, and the couple got hitched. The couple really liked the minister provided as well.

There have three small pews on each side, with additional chairs available as needed. Outside there is a courtyard with a water feature, which makes for some nice pictures. There is very limited parking in the lot, but plenty of street parking just outside. The chapel is right next to the train tracks, but I don't think there is very much train service during the weekends. Overall a nice place to hold small ceremonies.

After exploring many venues of various sizes, we came across this venue on the Internet. Eternally Yours Wedding Chapel is located at Camp Ithiel in Gotha, FL. We contacted the number on the Internet and spoke with Marcia, who was very accommodating. After learning that they had availability on our wedding date, we scheduled an appointment to take a look at the venue. This sweet little White Chapel is located on the back end of this fairly large piece of land, overlooking a small lake. When we visited in March, it was sunny, breezy & peaceful. We decided right then that this would be our wedding venue. From a budget standpoint, their $500 all-inclusive wedding package, is unbeatable for a small/intimate wedding party of under 50 people. We only needed the Chapel and the Minister, but Marcia is available for photos, if needed, bouquet/boutonniere, flower petals, pre-recorded music of your choice, etc. The Chapel is abit plain on the inside, so I wanted to transform it, without going over the top. On my wedding day, I was taken aback at what a beautiful job my wedding planner & florist did transforming this Chapel. Marcia assisted in playing the processional & recessional music; the Minister, Reverend Paul Ciola, performed THE MOST beautiful ceremony; my husband was completely taken with his words. The whole experience was perfect. The day was perfect. The Venue...perfect. Our experience with Marcia & Reverend Paul couldn't have been better; professional, accessible & kind. We highly recommend Eternally Yours Wedding Chapel!
