There is an acre of parking behind the church. Invited guests should not park on the road or on the chapel lawn. Space is reserved in the front of the chapel for the bride's vehicle.
Once you have seen the chapel, if you want to go home and think about it, that's fine but there is no way to prevent someone else from booking the chapel while you are deciding. If you love the chapel and want a specific date the best thing to do is make your deposit the day of the showing. Couples who wait often lose their desired date.
Your deposit check for the use of the chapel should be made out to A Wedding in the Country
There have been times when couples ask to be "penciled in" and then did not follow up or changed their minds and never contacted me. All of the weddings at the chapel are booked on a first come first served basis based on a signed agreement and deposit. Unfortunately, we will not be able to "pencil you in".
The answer to this question is yes, depending on the timing. The first person who books their wedding gets their choice of ceremony time and rehearsal time. If the second wedding will not impact on the first, then I will book another wedding. However, I do not book weddings too close together.
The rehearsal usually takes 45 minutes if everyone is on time. It is important that your rehearsal start on time. There may be another rehearsal scheduled before or after yours. It is a good idea to give out-of-town attendees a map and specific directions to the chapel so that they don't get lost and are not late.
Yes, it is already decorated but you can change the decorations at your expense if you want to spend extra money. It really isn't necessary unless you really want to have an elaborate, customized wedding.
Decorations can be brought to the rehearsal the night before the wedding. Arrangements can be made to have flowers delivered the day of the wedding by having the florist call us. Decorations brought in for a wedding must be removed from the chapel right after the wedding.
There are actually 15 pews. Two rows of 7 on a side and one at the very back of the church. If you decide to make your own pew bows, you will need 14. You should plan on using ties to fasten the bows to the pews. The plastic clip-ons won't work because of the carving on the top of the pews.
The aisle is about 30 foot long. You should buy the smallest size aisle runner you can find. The paper runners look much nicer and work much than the plastic ones. If you are buying a runner, make sure it has tape on the end to hold it in place....the less expensive runners may not have tape on them. Always check before you buy one.
The table is 29.5 inches tall, 20.25 inches wide and 59.25 inches long. If you want to cover the table with a cloth that you make yourself and you want it to reach the floor on all sides, make the table cloth 79 inches by 118 inches.
The railing is a total of 18 foot. 11 foot across the front and 3 1/2 foot on each side. You will need to allow for extra material if you want it to swag.
Yes. There is a CD player available but someone will need to be assigned the duty of starting and stopping the music.
Unfortunately we do not provide witnesses for couples who choose to elope. Plan on bringing 2 friends with you.
Yes, of course! If your minister or the Judge has any questions they can feel comfortable in calling us.
Ample time is allotted. The chapel will be available for your wedding 1/2 hour before the designated ceremony time and 1 hour and a half afterward for pictures unless you have contracted to use the dining room in addition to the ceremony.
The chapel has a small dining room and kitchen in the back. The room can be used for a cake and champagne reception for less than 30 people for an additional fee of $250. The use of the dining room for a rehearsal dinner is at no extra cost but you shold tell me you want to use the dining room for your rehearsal dinner at the time you book the chapel.
Yes! The dining room is available for rent on Sundays during the wedding season. The fee for the use is $250
