About this business

The Rockefeller Chapel was, indeed, named after the famous tycoon, and is the tallest building on the University of Chicago campus. With a Guastavino-tile ceiling, massive organ pipe and carved oak seating, the atmosphere is perfect for the pomp and circumstance of a graduation ceremony or a production of Handel's Messiah, which the University of Chicago Motet Choir has performed annually for more than 50 years. Weddings are also performed here.

The venue was black with bright spotlights shining on T&S and they commented it was strange and they couldn't see anyone.
