The history of this building and its beautiful architecture make it a very unique venue for the Texoma area, and a perfect place for your next event! Built-in 1923, this 25,000 square foot historic church has three venues to choose from: The Parlor, The Chapel, and The Loft. Select the venue that will make your event special and create lifelong memories.

As you walk into the Little Chapel in-the-Woods you are entering into a tradition. Located on the edge of Texas Woman’s University, the chapel is a secluded sanctuary that has held weddings since September 1939, a few months before its dedication by Eleanor Roosevelt. We have two beautiful ballrooms to host the wedding reception of your dreams! The Chapel attendant is present to set up the chapel for the wedding, set up the sound system and instruct your vendors on usage, and to oversee the facility. They will be happy to provide limited guidance and answer any questions you may have about the rehearsal or processional. If you desire full-scale coordination you are welcome to provide a planner or even a friend with experience to manage the flow of your wedding ceremony.

Think back in time, to simpler days. Imagine a picturesque little white wedding chapel in the countryside, the kind of place you'd choose for your romantic vintage wedding. Arbuckle Wedding Chapel is that charming chapel in the countryside! It's the perfect setting for your special day. We are in the enchanting Arbuckle Mountain Recreation Area of southern Oklahoma--a tourist area with mountains, lakes, cabins, Turner Falls, a national park, resorts, hotels, cabins, quaint shops, and restaurants.
