The Chamber Notebook:
Sepia Chapel
|
Renovation of the former St. Luke Catholic Church, located at 1820 Jefferson Street in Two Rivers, started taking shape in January 2017; and after more than a year of rigorous labor, has officially opened its doors as Sepia Chapel Two Rivers. Sepia Chapel is a space to rent for weddings and other special functions and social events. The Jefferson Street location is owner's Barry & Gina Krahn's, second venture in breathing life back into an old Catholic Church. They renovated Holy Martyrs Church on Finger Road in Green Bay back in 2010, and have held hundreds of wedding and other memorable events since, Gina claims, "We started looking for a second venue after turning away business because our calendar was booked. We found the old St. Luke building for sale in Two Rivers, and the rest is history. Starting a business in Two Rivers has been great in more ways than we can count. We truly love it here, and even relocated our family here back in February."
Inside the venue you will find the space to be very versatile, allowing events to be set up in many different ways. In addition to weddings, which are their core business, other events held in the space include: fundraisers, galas, corporate parties, Christmas parties, vow renewals, memorial services, seminars, and more. Other fun and entertaining events are held periodically throughout the year, 80s Edition is coming September 14, and an 'Acoustic Christmas' is planned for the holiday season. Tickets for all events are conveniently for sale directly on their website.
"The Chamber of Manitowoc County, with its publishing of The Chamber NOTEBOOK, provides space for Chamber members to present information about their business. The publishing of this information is in no way intended as showing preference for that business by The Chamber."
Every Sunday in the Herald Times Reporter, The Chamber of Manitowoc County features members in "The Chamber Notebook" located on the front page of the Business section. This exposure is just another value-added opportunity in your Chamber membership.
For available dates, call our office at 920.684.5575 or email info@chambermanitowoccounty.org to schedule your Chamber Notebook article.
