This was a great location that accommodated approximately 30 of our guests. The little white…read morechapel is dated, which gives it more of the old-fashioned feel. This fits perfectly with our theme though not everything was as great as we wished. There was a window controlled unit for air conditioning, so it's not advised for summer weddings. Our wedding was about 80 degrees outside so inside was fairly warm in our suits and dresses. Our coordinator was switched last minute on us about 10 days before the wedding, so she did not have time to coordinate with us for rehearsal or the wedding day. My wedding party did not get along with her as she threw off our timing with the entrance and rushed us on several occasions to "move-along". Mind you, we rehearsed the timing of the entrance song to the bridesmaids walking down the aisle but she did not care. She even locked the doors of the chapel 30 minutes before the event was over, even though we paid for the extra 2 hours based on the original contract we signed. This place would have been perfect if the coordinator was more hands off and assisted us rather than dictate our day. If you pick this place, please be warned and have everything in writing.

What a great little chapel. We had my brother's celebration of life service and we couldn't have…read moreasked for a better place. April was amazing. From the get-go, she offered her services and even came up with some great ideas. She made sure that we did not have to think about anything other than honoring our brother. The chapel was set up with flowers, etc. when we arrived. She also took care of everything after the service so that we could get to the luncheon. I would recommend this place for weddings, a celebration of life service, and any memorials.

We were stunned by the amazing detail and beauty of this Gothic church and the wooden organ. The organist seemed to practicing), so we had the benefit of hearing music in this lovely space. I would highly recommend that you stop by the chapel if you're touring the University of Chicago campus. It really is a magnificent building that only be fully appreciated from the interior. The space is very peaceful and leads you to a moment of reflection, or just a pause in the middle of a busy day. Enjoy! From the Robie House, it's about a 5-7 minute walk to the chapel on the south side of campus (in front of the Midway Plaisance).

The Rockefeller Chapel is really the visual center of the University of Chicago and is named after…read moreits founder. While it's built and decorated in the style of a gothic cathedral, it actually does not have any religious affiliation and is home to all kinds of events, including convocation, orientation, weddings, concerts, yoga, and a variety of religious events. Aside from some of the public events that you can attend, you can also walk through to enjoy the architecture whenever the university is open and there are no events taking place (so most weekdays). There are also daily tours of the tower and carillon; if you are comfortable walking up all the steps it's very interesting and provides an amazing view of the campus. Every day at noon on campus you can also be treated to the carillon bells being played. Sometimes it's classical music, but other times it can be the sesame street theme song or a pop song; it's up to whoever is playing that day.

Review: Avoid Carla Doshi and Forever Incredible at All Costs…read more Rating: 0/5 Stars I cannot express strongly enough how much I caution future couples against booking Carla Doshi of Forever Incredible. While an officiant is supposed to be a source of peace and celebration, Carla was nothing but a source of stress, unprofessionalism, and--most alarmingly--dishonesty. Our experience was a nightmare of "radio silence." After paying our deposit, we went weeks without any response to our emails or voicemails. When she did finally resurface, it was always the same: a laundry list of excuses (trips, "archived" emails, personal matters) followed by template responses that made it clear she hadn't actually read our requests or taken our wedding seriously. The breaking point came when we tried to terminate our contract due to her lack of communication. Not only did she refuse to return our deposit, but she manually altered our original invoice after the fact. We have the original documents showing the payment was not listed as non-refundable; once we asked for our money back, she doctored the invoice to "deceptively" add non-refundable language to justify stealing our money. Attempting to manipulate a contract and steal from a couple planning their wedding is beyond the pale. This is predatory behavior. Please, do yourself a favor and find someone who treats your marriage with the respect and integrity it deserves. Stay far away from Carla Doshi.

I loved how she had these beautiful quotes from books, poems and our own words taken from our homework. We clicked with her immediately and we loved the ceremony. She gave us a gorgeous certificate as well for a keepsake. She was also so amazing on the wedding day, I was freaking out because someone showed up at our wedding who was uninvited and she was so calm and came up with a plan in two seconds and dealt with the guest. We never had too and no one noticed anything. She responds so fast and is just amazing. So affordable and will give you a wedding ceremony to cherish.

These people sent us several very nasty text messages and were very untruthful they then said they would be sending us an itemized bill for what they helped with again stating this is in the contract which again is not.
