The Chapel at West Parish is located in Andover, MA and is amazing! Originally built in 1909 and restored in 1998, it is made of this beautiful tan stone with Tiffany stained glass windows. The inside has dark wood pews and a great organ at the front of the alter. The chapel holds 125 seated, with a balcony in the back that the photographer or videographer could use. I absolutely loved it when we went to visit and the contact, Nancy Simili (nsimili135@yahoo.com) is so nice and such a hoot! The only thing I didn't know before we went was that the chapel was located in a cemetery. We had to drive through the cemetery to get the chapel and that was sort of a surprise. At first I was a little creeped out, but the chapel was so cool and had such great history that I got over it. It is non-denominational so all people are welcome to celebrate there, which was great for us. Outside there is a pond with a water feature, stone benches and pretty flowers to take pictures. There are also other pretty places around the cemetery to take pictures (places without gravestones!). It is $900 to rent for your wedding, with a $200 deposit. Overall, I would recommend this to any bride who wants to have a ceremony in a unique location, has a small wedding party and doesn't mind their ceremony location to be in a cemetery.
