In 1964,
"Chapel of Love," written by Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich and Phil Spector and recorded by The Dixie Cups, sailed to the #1
spot and reclaimed the U.S. charts from the British Invasion. But, more than that, "Chapel" quickly established itself
as a favorite wedding song. For the past 30+ years, couples from all walks of life have included the song "Chapel of
Love" in their wedding festivities, either playing the recording during the ceremony or having the tune performed live at
the reception by a local band.
Nothing,
however, could possibly compare with having the original artists, The Dixie Cups themselves, on hand to perform "Chapel
of Love" live for the radiantly happy couple and their guests! And now, thanks to modern technology (i.e.,
the page you are now reading on the World Wide Web), it is not only possible to get this legendary New Orleans trio to sing
at your wedding, it's surprisingly easy to arrange.
Are you
planning to get married in the near future, or do you know someone who is? If so, why not consider booking The Dixie
Cups—original members Rosa and Barbara Hawkins, along with Athelgra Neville—to perform at the wedding? Think of
how beautiful and unforgettable the occasion would be, with these three ladies singing "Chapel of Love" live and
in person at the celebration—a blessed and magical day that everyone, from the bride and groom to the wedding party
to the guests, would remember for the rest of their lives.
