The Winter Park Wedding Chapel is located in the beautiful historic First Congregational Church of Winter Park, The chapel is located right in the heart of Winter Park, a quiet, luxurious oasis centrally located to some of Central Florida’s most popular attractions and home to a plethora of high restaurants, hotels, and boutiques. It is owned and run by Suzanne and Steve Graffham, a husband and wife team born and raised in England. The Graffhams now call Florida home, but still, spell “colour” with a “u” and have created this wonderful wedding venue to share with people from all around the world. They view the chapel as a blank canvas, a fully customizable and judgement-free sanctuary for love from any culture.
Suzanne has been coordinating weddings in Florida for the past 14 years and offers full coordination services, combining her own expertise with a wide range of reliable and professional local vendors to guarantee a well-executed wedding without the stress. She strives to create a relationship with every couple that comes through those doors to make sure that they leave satisfied and ecstatic newlyweds.
The Chapel is located close to a vibrant rose garden, a brand new train station, fountains, and lots of little hidden spots for capturing romantic photos after each ceremony. Steve owns and manages Winter Park Photography and has photographed the majority of weddings at the Winter Park Wedding Chapel over the past six years, bringing his 20+ years of photography experience and innate knowledge of the Chapel and Winter Park to every couple’s special day.
