Wedding Photo

Our wedding at Hendricks Chapel went off flawlessly. The attendants and coordinators at the Chapel were there to answer any question we had and to help in whatever way they could. It is because of their hard work and diligence that our wedding ceremony will be something that we look back on fondly for many years to come. It is not just because I am an SU alum that I would recommend Hendricks Chapel for a wedding; I would recommend Hendricks to anyone who wants to have a beautiful wedding at a fantastic venue and work with amazing people.
