I've played for weddings at Wightman Chapel for many years and everyone is always very pleased. It has excellent acoustics, great instruments (pipe organ & grand piano), nice dining facilities for receptions, and good service from dedicated staff people. The changing rooms for groomsmen and bridesmaids are comfortable. The chapel and grounds lend themselves to marvellous photo possibilities, too.
Pros: Facilities, ample parking, central location

The Chapel alone sealed the deal for me and my mom. Light simple decorations are all that is needed due to the uniqueness of the Chapel. I really truly enjoyed getting married there. The staff alone did an excellent job accommodating me and all my wedding needs. I highly recommend Wightman Chapel. John and Emma from Franklin
