If you're about to prepare for your wedding and have decided to have it in a chapel there are some things you need to bear in mind. A chapel may have certain rules that you will need to follow to make your wedding day go off without a hitch. Take a look at some of the main things you need to bear in mind when you are selecting a wedding chapel. 

Calendar of Events 

There may be things happening in a chapel regularly, so you will need to make sure that you take a careful look at the calendar of events before you select a wedding date. Holidays are usually not a great time for hosting weddings but after a religious holiday could be. Bear in mind that after these events take place you may be able to use these decorations and save money.

Consider Dress Code 

Consider the dress code of the chapel before selecting your bridesmaid dresses or even your wedding dresses. Depending on the religious affiliation of the chapel you may not be able to wear certain types of styles. This means that you will have to be specific about modesty when you are selecting your wedding dress and your bridesmaid's dresses.

Music Limitations 

You may also have limitations on the kind of music that you can play when you have your wedding in a chapel. Always check on the type of music that you can play when you select your chapel. 

Some chapels will not allow you to play secular music, depending on the denomination. You may have to stick with classical music. Always get your musical playlist checked by those in charge of the chapel before you commit to it.

Ask about Donations 

Ask about the cost of using the chapel. Often there will not be a specific cost associated with using the chapel but you could be asked to donate instead. You can usually decide on the amount you want to give based on your discretion. However, some chapels may have a minimum donation amount.

You can make your wedding a success by following the guidelines that have been outlined here. Once you do this and liaison with the officiating officer of your wedding, you should make the right choices for your big day. Preparation is always key and once you understand what is required to use the chapel you should have a memorable day.
