Many other artists have recorded the song.

The Dixie Cups' version was the debut release of the new Red Bird Records run by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller along with George Goldner.The Ronettes included the song on their debut album released in November 1964 with production by Phil Spector. In 1973, singer and actress Bette Midler had a moderate hit with a cover of "Chapel of Love".
The Dixie Cups version
Background
The definitive version of "Chapel of Love" was recorded by The Dixie Cups and released as a single in April 1964. Sung by Barbara Ann Hawkins, Rosa Lee Hawkins, and Joan Marie Johnson, this version was the group's first single taken from their debut studio album Chapel of Love issued on Red Bird Records. The song was arranged by Joe Jones and produced by Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller, Ellie Greenwich, and Jeff Barry. It charted at number one in early June 1964 on the Billboard Hot 100 knocking The Beatles out of the number one spot and remained at the top for three weeks. The song also peaked at number 22 on the UK Singles Chart and hit number one in Canada on the RPM Chart. The "Chapel of Love" version by The Dixie Cups sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. The song was later included on the soundtrack to films ranging from Full Metal Jacket to Father of the Bride. The hit single recorded by The Dixie Cups was ranked #279 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, being the group's only song on the list.
"Chapel of Love" is Europop duo London Boys' first single of 1990 from the album Sweet Soul Music. The single was written and produced by Ralf René Maué, and peaked at #75 in the UK. The single wasn't available on 7" vinyl in the UK but on 12" and CD instead. 7" versions were released in Germany.
Most likely to sound more commercial, the single version features the backing lyrics "crying" whereas the album version replaces "crying" with "forever and a day".

Critical reception
Smash Hits wrote a positive review stating "Back! Yes! The rubber men in the ill-advised vests return to form with a mental Euro-stunner of "London Nights" hilarity; prepostous classical bit at the beginning, thumping chorus about crying in the chapel (enough to make Duke Elvis Priestly do cartwheels in his grave), bells bonging, cymbals freaking out completely, deep-throated huskings in the background a-plenty - not one with-it house beat happening flare in sight. Quite right, too. Their resolute unfashionableness is their genius for they are, after all, the new Abba. All hail the Kings of Chronic!"
The album features the group's debut breakthrough hit, the number one smash on the Hot 100, "Chapel of Love". It also includes the hit singles, "People Say" and "Iko Iko". Both "Chapel of Love" and "People Say" were written by Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich.
Other songs on the Chapel of Love album include the fourth and final single taken from the album, "Gee The Moon Is Shining Bright", originally recorded by Ronnie Spector under the title "Why Don't They Let Us Fall In Love". The Dixie Cups version is a slight rework of the lyrics. Although the group had scored three major hits, the album only charted at number 112 on the U.S. Billboard 200 Albums chart.
The Blossoms are an American girl-group that initially originated from California. During their height of success in the 1960s, the group's lineup most famously consisted of Darlene Love, Fanita James, and Jean King.
Although the group had a recording career in their own right, they were most famous for being the group to actually record the #1 hit "He's a Rebel" (which producer Phil Spector credited to the Crystals), and for providing backing vocals for many of the biggest hits of the 1960s.
It has been said that the Blossoms were to the American West Coast what the Sweet Inspirations were to the East Coast and the Andantes were for Motown.
History
Early years: formation, name and lineup changes and inclusion of Darlene Love
Their career began in Los Angeles, California, while still in high school in 1954. Originally the group was a sextet of young girls singing for fun. Calling themselves The Dreamers the group originally sang spirituals since two of the members had parents who were against their daughters singing secular rhythm and blues music popular on the radio during the early 1950s.
