Schram Memorial Chapel Named Top Wedding Venue in Chicagoland

Submitted by the Glenview Park District

WeddingWire, a leading online wedding marketplace, named Schram Memorial Chapel as a winner of the prestigious WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Awards 2015 for top wedding venue in Chicagoland area. The Couples’ Choice Awards recognizes your business as being among the top 5% of wedding professionals nationwide.

One of 47 Naval Air Station chapels built across the United States, Schram Memorial Chapel is the only one still operating. Originally built at the Glenview Naval Air Station during World War II and named after Captain Richard A. Schram, a renowned Navy flier, this historic nondenominational chapel served as a house of worship for thousands of servicemen and women passing through this military base. After the Naval Air Station closed, the building was moved from its original location and painstakingly restored by the Village of Glenview and Kimball Hill Builders. Now owned by the Glenview Park District, it is available for rental by groups, individuals and organizations.

The WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Awards 2015 recognizes the top five percent of wedding professionals in the WeddingWire Network who demonstrate excellence in quality, service, responsiveness and professionalism. The esteemed awards are given to the top local wedding vendors in more than 20 service categories, from wedding venues to wedding photographers, based on their professional achievements from the previous year.

While many industry award winners are selected by the host organization, the WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Awards® winners are determined solely based on reviews from real newlyweds and their experiences working with Schram Memorial Chapel. Award-winning vendors are distinguished for the quality, quantity, consistency and timeliness of the reviews they have received from their past clients.

“It’s always exciting to start the year by honoring the top-rated wedding professionals within the WeddingWire Network who represent more than two million reviews on our website,” said Timothy Chi, CEO, WeddingWire. “Each of the businesses recognized are committed to quality, professionalism and all around top-notch service. We applaud Schram Memorial Chapel for their impressive achievements within the wedding industry.”
