Chapel of the Bells

We got married and had our reception here on 6×18×16. It was the most magical and perfect day i could have wished for. If you are looking for a small intimate beautiful wedding in SLT and not spend too much money this is your spot. The grounds are well kept and if your worried about the noise level of the the main street DON’T. With your whole group talking and visiting with eachother you don’t even notice it, plus having music playing totally drowns the car noise out. Thanks Robert and all the staff that helped us with our wedding.

We got married here on Wednesday. It was wonderful. We had came up from out of state to have a small intimate wedding. As soon as we got there they were so helpful. You felt like they genuinely cared about your relationship and making your day special. The ceremony was beautiful and I cried like a baby. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for a small intimate wedding! Thank you guys again we will treasure it always.

We got married here on the night of NYE ²⁰¹⁵⁄₁₆ and really enjoyed it. It took place outside with the snow and pine trees all around and twinkling of the lights. It was the last planned event of the day for them so we had the place to ourselves. The staff was very accommodating and handled all the details and paper work with great care. We really liked our minister, Kymberly. She picked just the right words for us. Spot on. I felt pretty lucky that it all worked out so well given that we planned it all a week in advance! Thank you so much!

Amazing and Beautiful, the staff was very helpful. Thank you so much for a beautiful ceremony!

I contacted «Chapel of the Bell to perform my wedding via their main phone number. I called them as they are widely advertised in the Tahoe area. In left them a voicemail on their company line. I was contacted by Thomas within 3 hours from my call.
As far as I am concerned he is part of this company –or he is subcontracted through «Chapel of the Bells@ for beach weddings. Or as he stated– offset wedding coordinator!
They can try to separate themselves but believe me they are one entity. Buyer beware. Read my original review.

Could not be happier with the staff and service. They fit right in with our perfect day. A+ top notch.

We were so happy with our choice to marry at Chapel of the Bells. They were wonderful in every way. I communicated with them several times over a six month period and they were always very helpful and easy to work with. We were both a little nervous getting married in a venue neither of us had seen in person, but it turned out to be a very cute chapel with a lovely garden ceremony area. They were very accommodating and made our day that much more special. The pictures were very nice and we received our photo CD in the mail in less than a week. Their reception area was also lovely.
Being from out of state, it was very helpful that all of the paperwork is taken care of for us. The minister gave a wonderful ceremony and all of our family seemed impressed. I would recommend Chapel of the Bells to any couple who are looking for an alternate to both a big fancy wedding or a courthouse wedding.

We were married here on May 27, 2014. I love this place!!! You can pretty much have the wedding of your choice here. The staff is amazing. Of course we were both very nervous but they made us feel at ease soon after arriving. They had all the paperwork ready when we got there. The chapel is little and cute. It was just my husband and I but it would have been big enough for a few friends and family. Robert performed our ceremony and was great. We felt very comfortable with him and Kim. When we left she even gave us a hug. We would definately recommend this chapel to anyone who wants a sweet, inexpensive, easy and friendly place to get married. Thank you so much!!!
P. S. Robert loves a good joke (:

Got married on Feb 1, 2014 and honestly I was a little scared about getting married at a chapel. I wanted it to be a special day and hadn’t been to Lake Tahoe for over 15 years. I arraigned everything by e-​mail and phone calls, I got there, the ceremony was nice and sweet. I cried, our guest cried! I asked if we could read our vows but I guess they forgot — we never said our vows there, later once we got to the restaurant we were able to say them in front of our guests!
I choose to do the chapel package with the 3 other picks, so I picked Video, Picture CD and flowers. The flowers are fake but a nice arraignment. The video is bad quality, it would work better with the old school VHS, but I felt like the cameras were the kind that video tape a store for surveillance. Not good at all which is why I’m taking off 1 star, since my expectations were a bit higher for video. Luckily another family member video taped the ceremony so I do get a video after all. The pictures were good! The guy taking the pics started taking them before the ceremony and spent a good while after taking pictures, LOTS of picture and I got more pictures than expected. They are unedited pictures but since I had about 22 people there and he was able to capture the whole family I’m very happy!
We were getting married on a budget, a small wedding 22 people, dinner after at a near by restaurant and I wouldn’t have changed a thing! I’m very happy with my day and happy about going to Chapel of The Bells!

Great experience!!! Loved the EASY button!!! Robert did one of the best ceremony’s I’ve ever seen. Thank you for making our day special and simple!

We were married at this wonderful chapel 25 years ago and had such warm memories that we decided to visit on our anniversary while vacationing at Lake Tahoe. It was just as we remembered, charming, warm and extremely welcoming. The owner Robert welcomed us and took some great photos for us. This is such a beautiful place, and we highly recommend this wonderful place. Thank you Robert!

We were married here 5÷24÷13, the ceremony was perfect and the staff were fun and friendly, they accommodated moving our wedding inside due to the weather with no problems. My only complaint is we still have not been able to review our photos which is a large part of any wedding those memories are priceless. If not for this they would have received 5 stars from us. I would still recommend a ceremony here.

Got married here last Thursday, on October 18^th. We were very satisfied with the entire process. Tiffany took care of the marriage license and photos. She even helped me get ready! Our minister Warren did a wonderful job on the ceremony and the pictures at the lake after the ceremony. Overall the staff made us feel welcome and special on our big day. Chapel of the Bells is the perfect mix of economy and beauty. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience here.

Do not trust them with your wedding!
The staff filled out the marriage license application wrong and it took more than 2 months for us to get our marraige license. Since it had been so long I was unable to join my husband’s health insurance. This is a big deal!
The website is misleading and false. It states that there is a donation for the minister. However this is not an optional donation, rather it is a mandatory fee. We had our own minister perform the ceremony and we were told that the minister’s donation was required. What a rip off!
Wish we had been married somewhere else.

Let’s start by saying: I didn’t get married; my girlfriend’s sister did. That being said, this review is from the standpoint of someone who observed the entire wedding.
*Small*, quaint, and straight-​forward.
That’s how I would describe Chapel of Bells.
It’s located conveniently off the main road in South Lake Tahoe, and is one of the many wedding chapels in town. This little chapel was apparently one of the cheapest ones (or so I was told; not sure about the prices). That being said, it has a little indoor wedding chapel room that will fit about 15 – 20 people, and it has an outdoor area that will fit roughly 20 to 30 persons. The outdoor area must look wonderful in the summer; like your own small wedding in the forest (if you can forget about the traffic and cars right next to the street).
Overall, this was a pretty quaint and cute little place to get married. Nothing spectacular… the staff seemed friendly though. I’m giving it four stars because it all seemed very straight-​forward and got the job done. The staff seems like good people.

A really cute, affordable place. We couldn’t ask for more on our wedding day! It was perfect, the day was perfect, this place was perfect. Chapel of the bells is cute, I advised to do the garden chapel rather than the inside chapel. We also passed by it at night which looks really romantic if you want an evening wedding (they are open 24 hours! — i think) They have different packages to choose from and the pictures came out great! The staff are so friendly and helpful, they make you feel at ease. Its at a great location, close by to many places. If you want to elope this is the best place to go! You won’t be dissapointed.

I want to say that The Chapel of the Bells was the best place anybody could get married at in South lake Tahoe! They were friendly, accommodating and NON JUDGMENTAL! The minister who did our ceremony called me a few days before the wedding to get a feel for my wife and I’s life and was on point with her words from the info I gave her. The actual owner was there hands on taking pics of our wedding for us and was very nice.
I made last minute adjustments to the service, they had no problems with it! And they never made me or my friends/​family feel rushed!
I would definitely recommend this chapel for ANYONE who want a worry free setting for your venue!

Me and my fiancé were deciding to get marriage in South Lake Tahoe for several reasons. Our love for each other is very important. We were trying to save money in hopes of buying a home instead of a fancy wedding, We were also trying to avoid losing any days at work, hench for the short wedding plans. We did the research on the internet and compared locations and price. We felt Chaple of the bells was the best for us. We made reservations and showed up on time. They did the paper work very effienting, that ment alot to us because we had no clue how or what to expect with filing mariage documents. They had no problem with our special requests for our marriage voues. They started our small seramorne and we asked them to add on a small traditional Chinese style of bowing and the minister handled it very well. Made us very surprised.
We also ordered pictures, they came out very beautiful. Even the pictures with our closed eyes! Of course we had good mood, so no matter what our pictures are priceless no matter good or bad.
The whole small seramoney they did was very coordinated. Over all we as a newly wed couple are very happy with the Chapel Of The Bells. They made us feel very happy and gave us a happy warm feeling that we hope will last a life time!

Here comes the bride… all dressed in white. HaHa! You can wear whatever you want here to get married. Even a bathing suit if you are so inclined. Whatever floats your boat.
I researched and made reservations well in advance to get married in Lake Tahoe. I chose the Chapel of the Bells not only for the cost for everything, but I also know a few people that married here. Everyone that I know that married here is still married believe it or not. One over 20 years!
We didn’t marry at the Chapel itself. We arranged to get married at the Vista point overlooking Emerald Bay. Beautiful! So wonderfully beautiful it is, and that day was.
We were so fortunate that everyone that works for the Chapel of the Bells were not only accomodating in handling everything, but made our overall experience a relaxing, and enjoyable one.
So…if you are looking to get married, hitched, tie the knot, or whatever else you like to call it… I do recommend the Chapel of the Bells.
I provided only 4 stars due to a few correctable errors that were made.
If not for that I would have given the whole 5 stars.
Good Luck Newlyweds!

My wife and I got married here when we decided we wanted a private, no-​fuss wedding. We would have done it at the county courthouse but we were getting married on a Sunday. Tahoe Chapel of the Bells was open 7 days, was in a beautiful area worth making a weekend trip (Tahoe), and was the least expensive chapel in the area. It was under $ 300 for a basic package when the next cheapest place was close to $ 1000.
We liked that the chapel filed all the paperwork for us and offered a totally private option. The minister doubled as the photographer, shooting pictures while performing the service! This was fine for candid pictures though it looked really stupid in the video they tried to sell us.
Although we had a private service there’s room for a small audience. 20 would be a crowd.
I recommend Chapel of the Bells for anyone who wants a budget service. The place is not fancy or particularly attractive. But it is inexpensive.
