| History |
The Chapel is recognized as a California State
Historic building. It was constructed in 1910 as the
Saint Mark's Episcopal Church on the north-east
corner of Euclid Avenue at "F" Street in Upland.
When the congregation eventually left for a larger
home, the entire building was given to the Chaffey
Communities Cultural Center and was transported to
its current location in 1966 in three sections.
Now located on one of Upland's quiet tree-lined
streets. The building served exclusively as a
museum from 1966 until 1987 when it was victim to
an arson. With community support, the building was
restored and in 1990 the Cultural Center returned to
use as a location for museum, private and community
events. Because the chapel itself still exerted much
elegance and charm many requests were received for
romantic wedding ceremonies to be held here.
Our non-denominational Fleur de Lis Wedding
Chapel is an independent business that has been
providing weddings here since about 1993. This
quaint, wood-shingled building is set far back from the
road with it's distinguishing bell tower.
The USS Mattaponi ship's iron bell is on loan from the
Naval Historical Center in Washington D.C., and is
rung as our brides & grooms make their grand exit.
The USS Mattaponi, a fleet tanker, was one of the
fastest oilers which served the U.S. fighting forces at
sea from World War II to 1972.
Period furnishings were brought in, such as a
marble-topped mahogany hutch at the back of the
Chapel. The interior conveys an endearing simplicity,
but is by no means plain. Three
stained-glass windows showcase a cross and fleur de
lis afloat in a sea of turquoise. The high, vaulted
ceilings of rustic wood are graced with an antique
crystal chandelier, and the rich oak of the pews,
stage, and altar offer a timeless sense of comfort.
Against the altar wall, a faded stencil of a cross and
more fleurs de lis are softly uplifting.
Though not distracting to your wedding, the Chaffey
Communities Cultural Center maintains a presence at
this location as well, with their agricultural museum
exhibit ,area offices and research history library.
