Rose
Chapel is an all-denominational
chapel built in 1955, specifically for weddings. The chapel provides seating
for 125 guests. During daylight hours, the room is suffused with
light from stained glass windows that repeat the rose motif in the original
circular window set above the entrance. Chandeliers suspended over
the carpeted center aisle, and lights above the arched collonades on each
side of the chapel provide light for evening and night weddings.
Candelabras, a large floral arrangement, and tulle pew-bows make additional
decorating unnecessary in this beautiful room. The vaulted, beamed
ceiling provides wonderful acoustics for live or recorded music, and a
built-in organ is available for accompaniment.
Three
dressing rooms provide ample space for the bride, groom and attendants.
The foyer has a terrazzo floor and an elegant desk for the guestbook.
Constructed of Tennessee Crab Orchard stone, the exterior of the
Rose Chapel is surrounded by perennial gardens. Over 50 antique
roses and countless other flowers are planted around the building and
courtyard. Something is always in bloom!
Adjacent
to the chapel is the Reception Salon, Ballroom and caterers kitchen.
The Reception Salon, featuring a fireplace, beaded wainscoting, and beamed
ceiling, seats 75 guests, tables and chairs included. Built in 1922,
the Ballroom holds up to 150 guests, and includes a stage for your band
or DJ, 18-foot ceiling, a wet bar, mirror ball, and a canopy of 7,000
lights. (See our Parties
page). The caterer's kitchen includes a large stainless steel refrigerator,
freezer, wall ovens and lots of workspace.
Our
in-house wedding consultants and events planners help insure the success
of your most special day.
Located
in the turn-of-the-century Historic Fairmount neighborhood, the entire
area has been listed in the Secretary of the Interiors National
Register of Historic Places since 1990. The Rose Chapel was the
first area of the Southside Preservation Hall to be fully renovated.
Proceeds from weddings and other events go to support the continuing renovation
of this wonderful building. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
