Daytona Beach Wedding Chapel

The Tavern and Chapel has a historic Daytona Beach wedding chapel that was built in 1897 and has been restored to it's original state with real stained glass windows and a working bell tower. Originally constructed as a community center in Port Orange, this historic wedding chapel was built in 1897 at the northeast corner of US-1 and Church Street. In 1913, the building was moved and for the next 84 years served as the Parish Hall for Grace Episcopal Church. When the church expanded in 1997, the building was once again moved, when it was given to Douglas J. Clark.

It took 18 months to completely renovate the Daytona Beach Wedding Chapel. The century-old heart pine boards were removed, planed down, varnished and reapplied to the walls. The stained glass windows were also replaced. The barrel ceiling above the pulpit was designed and built by Chuck Gittner. Chuck and his brother, Craig designed and built the bell tower which houses the impressive bronze bell that was cast in Baltimore, Maryland in 1893 and weighs 1,050 pounds. The toll of the bell can be heard throughout the neighborhood and signifies a rebirth for a significant building with a proud local heritage.

In 1999, the Chapel opened to the public to host weddings and has become a preimer Daytona Beach wedding chapel for Florida Destination Weddings and special events. The Chapel can seat 120 people and provides a beautiful setting for indoor wedding ceremonies. Take a tour of our property and see our historic Daytona Beach wedding chapel at the Tavern and Chapel.
