Designed by renowned Finnish architect Eero Saarinen (designer of the St. Louis Gateway Arch), this uplifting venue features beautifully stained glass windows and doors that illuminate every side of this stand-out space. Walk down the aisle to the impressive sound of our 19th century pipe organ. This instrument serves as the towering backdrop to your one-of-a-kind ceremony. Exchange your vows in the heart of the chapel, surrounded by your family and friends in an intimate setting. Share your ceremony with up to 290 guests, plus your wedding party, in the extraordinary Firestone Baars Chapel.
