Did you like it? Would you use it yourself?
Were there lots of tourists hanging around outside?

Yeah both of us went there. I was hoping to have it during the summer so was only really worrying about tourists possibly taking my picture.

I am actually using it myself next year. Gill25 in regards to your questions:

Did you like it?
- I thought it was really nice, much cosier that a normal wedding, the design of the chapel is so different that if your guests haven't been there before they'll find it a talking point. Seat are uncomfortable but as long as you're not keeping your guests for hours, it will be fine! The organ is fantastic if you choose to use it and the vocals form the singer on the day were amazing

Would you use it yourself?
- Yep, as above we had already booked the chapel and seeing it only emphasized what a good decision it was

Were there lots of tourists hanging around outside?
- It was a 2:00 PM ceremony (you can have 11:00 AM or 2:00 PM), and it was fine, not many around at all. I didn't find it obtrusive at all. There was no students around either. Fantastic photo opps!

As you know from being a student there yourself, depending on the time of year, front square could be full of tourists.... and students... when are you thinking of getting married?

July probably

My fiance and I are having our ceremony at Trinity Chapel in June - it's a lovely venue and really unique (the pews face inwards). If you're thinking of July though, the chapel doesn't hold any ceremonies during the month of July or around the end of December. I'd contact one of the priests very quickly to ask about dates if I were you. Good luck!

Hi sorry to come in on this thread years later, but do you know how many people the chapel will hold?
Thanks in advance
