A short walk up from Riverfront Park sits The Eternal Father of the Sea Chapel. The Chapel was originally located on the southern section of the Navy Base and built in 1942. It was completed in 1944, which served as a non-denominational chapel for all sailors and their families. In 2006, the City of North Charleston, along with the Charleston Naval Redevelopment Authority initiated plans to restore and relocate the chapel about a mile from the original location to it’s new location amid the historic officer’s housing. The chapel still features some of the original doors, windows, light fixtures and pews.
This has become the perfect venue for weddings, cultural concerts and productions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I plan an outdoor wedding and it rains?
In the event that a tent is not placed on hold and inclement weather does become an issue, the Chapel is a great option. This will be based on availability and the full fee will be applied. This addition would need to be made one week out from the wedding date.
Can we create our own ceremony and reception decorations?
Yes! We invite you to personalize your wedding with your own decorations to make your day extra special. We do not provide any additional décor other than what is already in the homes.
Can we bring in some of our own food for the reception?
Absolutely! We do not have in house catering or bar services so you will need to bring in outside catering. They will need to provide proof of insurance and North Charleston Business License.
Can we add on additional hours to our rental?
We understand that it is hard to stop celebrating and they can go a little longer than planned. We are very strict on our lock up times, to adhere to the city noise ordinance and to be sure our staff makes it home safely. If you choose to not have the house “Lock up ready”, you will not receive your damage deposit. However, if you are spending the night in one of our homes, you can party until morning!
Will someone be on site for my wedding/event?
Yes, event staff will be on site throughout your day. Please keep in mind that they are not coordinators and will not be responsible for accepting rentals or the set up and break down of your event.
Do you require a wedding coordinator?
Yes. To ensure your event run smoothly, we do require at least a day-of coordinator. We have a great list for you if you are having a hard time finding the right fit!
Can we have a rehearsal there? What is the cost?
We do offer a complimentary 2 hour rehearsal the day before your event, IF the venue is available.
Do you provide tables and chairs?
We do not provide any rentals. You will have to go through a 3rd party company.
Are pets allowed?
We love our furry friends! Pets are allowed to join any outdoor ceremonies. We do however, ask that they find another place to celebrate after. No pets are allowed inside the venues at anytime.
I am interested in seeing the venue spaces. Can I schedule a tour?
We welcome you to visit the venues in person. We are available by appointment only during the hours of 9AM-3PM, Monday – Friday if not events are taking place. Weekend site visits are not an option as we are hosting events.
