Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Harbison Chapel at Grove City College, Grove City

A wedding at Harbison Chapel puts you at the center of the Grove City College campus, in the Gothic chapel that anchors the Quad. Inside, hand-carved beams and woodwork frame the room, and jewel-toned stained glass windows add color to your wedding photos and video from the moment the doors open.

Your wedding ceremony takes place in the chapel itself. The windows show scenes of learning, the Reformation, classical philosophers, biblical figures and American and college history, so there is plenty for your photographer to frame during the processional and the vows. The chapel has a four-manual Kimball organ for your entrance and recessional, a big, rich sound for a wedding videographer to capture. Ask during your visit how the room carries sound, so your videographer can plan microphones for the vows.

Saturdays are available for weddings throughout the year. The college handles wedding information and date inquiries through its alumni website, so start there and ask who may book the chapel, what music and staff are included and how much time you'll have. Your reception will be somewhere else in or around Grove City, so build the drive into your wedding day timeline and leave time for pictures on the way out of the chapel.

• Send your wedding date inquiry early, since Saturdays are what everyone wants.
• Ask about the organ and an organist for your ceremony music.
• Ask the college about photo and video guidelines in the chapel, and walk the room with your photographer.

A little about Harbison Chapel

Harbison Chapel was completed in 1931 and dedicated the same day as the college's Hall of Science. It was given in memory of a longtime college trustee, and its completion marked the start of the campus's growth onto Upper Campus. Today the college calls it the heart of spiritual life on campus.
