Dear Sara and Allen,
I have had the unique pleasure of officiating weddings at the Chapel for over 10 years. The simple yet elegant beauty of the Chapel and grounds adds so much to a wedding ceremony no matter how many or few are present. Any time of year the Chapel has its own unique ambience that blesses everyone who enters, leaving cherished memories to savor for years to come. Thank you for making this very special place available for so many to enjoy.
Nancy Southern, Minister

"The chapel will always remain as one of the most peaceful and wonderful places that I have been in my life. My wedding was perfect there and it is such a joyous place. I am sure we will visit often. Thank you for watching over and keeping such a sacred place for others to share."
Julie and Thomas Wood

"The Victorian Valley Chapel is a jewel...a haven for silence and reflection, celebration and ceremony. We are so blessed to have this beautiful sanctuary available here on Orcas Island."
Susan Osborne
"In over twenty years of performing wedding ceremonies, Victorian Valley Chapel has become my favorite venue. I particularly appreciate the acoustics, which are excellent, both for music and as a sounding box for the human voice. It's an easy room to fill. I love the spare elegant beauty of the design, a classic new england church, carefully reconstructed. The valley itself is precious."
Francis Racey
 

"Orcas a Cappella has just finished its final recording session at the Chapel. It was a perfect place to record. The acoustics are wonderful for an intimate group, and we couldn't have asked for a quieter venue - perfect for recording as there was little or no extraneous noise...it's as quiet as a church mouse! We were so glad we thought of the Victorian Chapel, and can't thank you enough for your hospitality!"
Dennis Bonner, Director

"Upon just the first clap of the hands inside the front door, it becomes instantly apparent that Victorian Valley Chapel, with its vibrant acoustics and richly sonorous natural reverberation, is a utopian space for the performance and recording of music. The high ceiling, hardwood floors and large stained-glass windows of the main room allow any instrument or voice to be captured at its fullest resonant potential. For expanded sonic options, two closets of differing size and the slightly larger foyer can also be utilized, as they present the ability to isolate sounds according to the desired application. The quiet heating system and an abundance of electrical outlets make for conveniently modern ease of use, in an otherwise timeless intersection of serenity and creative potential."
