Question:
Dear Rev. Coleman,
We love your list of wedding chapels in Minnesota, and wondered if you knew about ours?
The Bigelow Chapel at the United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities in New Brighton, MN provides a breath-taking, intimate, one-of-a-kind setting for your wedding ceremony. The seating capacity is 140-160, with a maximum of 200.
The award-winning Bigelow Chapel is a delicate composition of floating planes of glass, frosted clerestory windows, cast stone walls, and translucent curved wood panels that cast a warm glow inside the chapel and create a tranquil and inspirational environment. Roof skylights provide suffused light throughout the interior. Twin towers contain a set of pealing chimes. Movable chairs provide a flexible venue. A large grass courtyard adjoins the chapel and is available for outdoor receptions.
United is set on a beautiful 10-acre campus in New Brighton, Minn., approximately 15 minutes from downtown Minneapolis or downtown St. Paul. The seminary is easily accessed from I-694 and the Silver Lake Road exit, which lies between I-35W North and I-94 West.
Here is a brochure on use of the chapel for weddings.
Sincerely,
