Montgomery Chapel

In Marin we celebrate the majestic outdoors as well as historic architecture and both will be stars during your outdoor nuptials. Northern California is blessed with summer like days into the Fall, so you and your guests will enjoy the splendor of this historic chapel and the stunning grounds of The University of Redlands. 

Your guests will tuck in front of the stairs of the chapel just inside the wrought iron gate, to witness your ceremony and vows. Once you've tied the knot your journey as a married couple begins along the path to the hidden lawn. Amidst the garden you'll toast your nuptials with your nearest and dearest and savor a sweet bite to kick off this phase of your love story!

RESERVE YOUR SPOT

the venue

THE MONTGOMERY CHAPEL sits on the edge of The University of Redlands, Marin Campus in San Anselmo. The stone chapel, built in 1897 is graced with beautiful stained-glass windows and has stunning green doors. Many a couple have had their wedding PORTRAITS taken in front of the chapel doors, but we're envisioning the UNION taking place on the stairs, allowing for the architectural elements of the doorway to be the ceremony backdrop. The campus and surrounding gardens allow for a variety of additional spots for photographs as well as there are many establishments where you can dine following the intimate ceremony.

planning + design

38north Design Co. will be overseeing all of the design, styling and coordination with award-winning designer Stacey Dillon at the helm. Intimate and curated events are our specialty, so you can rest assured the logistics as well as the look will be impeccably handled with care! When selecting an intimate wedding format you will have the most stylish wedding backdrop possible with many layers, special details and lots of unique touches.

florals + decor

The ceremony will include a lush display designed by our floral team and incorporate stunning elements from our growing partners. We've allocated luxurious personal florals for the couple and two honor attendants. We can always procure additional corsages, boutonnieres, and bouquets as needed for an additional fee. Following the ceremony you'll be able to raise a glass in the garden as well as capture photos to share with those who can not be there on the day you exchange vows. However just because the affair is tiny, you won't miss out on celebrating in a stylish scene with a well appointed garden lounge and champagne bar!

toasting the newlyweds

Although the timeline is quick, just 90 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to exchange vows, take amazing photos, raise a glass and celebrate! We'll set out a festive sip sip hooray drink station as well as procure a stunning and delicious petite two tier wedding cake for you to cut and enjoy onsite. More substantial bites can be added for an additional fee.

capturing memories

We'll select a premier and award winning photographer to tell your story. You will receive a minimum of 60 high resolution images with a Permission to Reproduce certificate. You can also add on a printed album with all your photos if you desire. We can also engage a videographer and/or the option for livestreaming your ceremony to guests who cannot attend is available too!

officiant + music

For each curated design and pop up micro wedding, we include an officiant we think will gel best with those who've selected a particular venue and vibe. You will be responsible for securing your marriage license, but we will provide an experienced officiant to legally perform the commitment ceremony, personalizing it to fit your style! We also select a vendor to provide music to round out the mood. Of course you will be able to make requests and selections to ensure a romantic + toe tapping experience!

the design & vibe: chapel + vines

We're pulling together the classic and historic elements of a stone chapel and pairing them with modern decor like ghost chairs and acrylic signage. We'll use the classic doorway and railings as the base for luxurious styling with vines, greens and lush white florals. If you have a favorite color you'd like to incorporate, you can add a pop of color, with your guest of honor attire or in your personal florals.

We're incorporating architectural elements and natural bits of greens and vines to create a layered and rich ambiance with hints of metal and glass.
