For more than fifty years, the Longboat Island Chapel, an interfaith church, has offered its services to persons throughout the world for marriage, commitment services, and renewal of vows as well as ceremonies of blessing. The Chapel has a beautiful sanctuary and an intimate small chapel for indoor weddings. Outdoor weddings are held at the spectacular gazebo in our tropical garden. The Chapel is also able to host wedding receptions in our newly refurbished Shook Fellowship Hall.
The Chapel’s beautiful Main Sanctuary exudes a feeling of “Island Elegance”. The chancel area has recently been renovated with sweeping steps and an elegant bamboo floor that provides a wonderful setting for your vows. The Main Sanctuary provides seating for up to 250 guests.
The Chapel’s garden offers a spectacular setting for your wedding. Our garden is a tropical paradise, with a pristine gazebo nestled in the middle of the lush foliage. Brick pathways interconnect the garden and lead you to the gazebo and the shores of Sarasota Bay. When one is in the garden, you will feel the tranquility and peace that is present.
