our story
Founded by Harborside Christian Church in 2017, Harborside Chapel was designed to not only be a beautiful space for a wedding, but be a place to prepare people for marriage. It is our honor to build up and inspire the union of a husband and a wife, despite a culture that wants them to believe the odds are stacked against them. We want the beautiful view of a committed family unity to remain distinct and treasured. We understand that the gift of marriage extends beyond just the bride and the groom. It opens a lasting legacy of love and commitment that is handed down to future generations. Your marriage is an opportunity to share your beautiful love story with others, and we are here to play a supporting role.
Meet Harborside Chapel
We do more than weddings, we prepare people for marriage!
Harborside Chapel is a ministry of Harborside Christian Church. Both are located on the same grounds in a quiet nook of Safety Harbor. When Harborside purchased 40 acres of land in the heart of Safety Harbors residential area, God started a dream to have a worship experience each week in an awesome 58,000 square-foot facility. God fulfilled that dream, and today they welcome a multitude of people through their doors. Harborside is truly a place where people can come and feel like they belong. Years later, God gave them a new dream, to prepare people for marriage, by planting a beautiful wedding chapel on their property. Now they host 2-3 weddings every weekend in the Harborside Chapel.
