Dekoven Center

The quality of service was great. They were very helpful to answer all my questions in great detail. The value of the place is priceless. The grounds are so beautiful and all my pictures turned out beautiful. Thank you Dekoven for providing such wonderful service and a beautiful atmosphere.

We had our ceremony at St. John's Chapel at the Dekoven Center. The grounds are beautiful and our pictures turned out amazing. The chapel itself is stunning and provided a nice ambiance for the wedding (and again, beautiful photos). Our photographer was almost overwhelmed with everything because there were so many things he wanted to get pictures with while we were there--it's just that gorgeous!We worked with Donna to make our contract, update our vendors, and for any questions we had. She was always very friendly and prompt, and for one off the wall question (my musician was looking for "average aisle walk" times), she referred me to another staff member who had actually been married in the chapel, and that lady was able to help me out. Another lady, Alex, was then at the rehearsal and the wedding itself, to help us organize ourselves, put on flowers, etc. She was very friendly and helpful, and I particularly liked that she kept an eye out for me for the groom and his groomsmen so I could "hide" in the bride's room without them seeing me. My only complaint was that we had to have a religious person officiate. We were able to use a Unitarian minister, which allowed us some flexibility in how much God we wanted in our ceremony, but that was the only drawback I had (I'm atheist and my husband is minimally religious, so this wasn't what we originally had in mind, but it worked out ok).I would have liked to have used the Great Hall for our reception, but the prices for that seemed a little steep and we went else where. However, I'm very glad that we used St. John's Chapel for our ceremony--it definitely created a beautiful wedding.

Thanks for an Amazing Night!

Great!

Katie the coordinator was a pleasure to work with. She was prompt with her responses to all phone calls and emails. Her patience was greatly appreciated with every request to visit the chapel. We were given the freedom to put up and take down the decorations in more than ample time. The grounds were a beautiful setting for our weeding photos. The chapel was a very tradition setting for our very untraditional wedding. The Dekoven Center will always hold a very special place in our wedding memories.

Our ceremony was in St. John's chapel and the reception was in the Great Hall. Both were absolutely beautiful and the staff were very accommodating.

My experience with the staff was a positive one. They were always very helpful and accommodating. When one person wasn't available the other was quick to step in until then. My calls were always returned promptly and they provided ideas to make my experience a good one. The icing on the cake was not only did they contact me after wards for thanking me for my business, but to see if I was happy with everything. It felt like I was truly appreciated. Thanks for the great service.

Great place for ceremony/reception. Only drawback is that there's no catering service. But they do offer tables & chairs at no extra cost. I had both ceremony (St. John's Chapel) and reception (The Great Hall) at this location. It was nice for the out of town people because they didn't have to find something to occupy themselves between the 2 things.
