About

I have come to realize that there are so many couples who dream of a simpler ceremony than most of the
local venues are willing to accommodate. Perhaps, they would just like a few guests to be in attendance, or maybe they would rather have a private ceremony with just the two of them.
Until now, there has not been a small intimate place for them to go, since most sites will charge a rental or site fee, as well as making them guarantee an exorbitant number of guests, when all they ever wanted was a small ceremony with close family and friends.
So I set out to create a unique setting for small ceremonies and opened the Annapolis Wedding Chapel in September of 2010
- with no rental or site fees - Pets are welcome to participate or just attend - this is your day, have fun.

If you have a site or venue that has special meaning to you, I am also available.

Like Family! Book them now!

Selecting Annapolis Wedding Chapel as the officiant for our wedding at Quiet Waters Park was the *best vendor decision* we made of our entire wedding. Loveta, who runs the place, and Laura, who was our officiant, are kind people who know their stuff. They have a wealth of knowledge that they are not shy about sharing with you, and this really helped us to plan things out perfectly. The most amazing thing to us was that, while we had only just met them and had maybe 90 minutes at most talking to them and answering questions, they developed the most beautiful, personal ceremony for us. This was driven home when, a few weeks after our wedding, we attended another couple's wedding. Their ceremony could've been used on any other couple and you wouldn't have known the difference. We also attended two more weddings this summer and both had a friend or family member do the ceremony. Loveta and Laura's ceremony was *just as personal* as these friends and family members. Our guests even commented on how surprised they were at the beautiful ceremony and asked if we knew Laura!! I can't recommend Loveta and Laura enough!

Wonderful Ceremony!

My husband and I had a great experience with Loveta. She met with us ahead of time to get to know us and was able to create a great ceremony that spoke to us as a couple. We were able to get married outside in the garden and loved the space as well!

Friendly and Easy Going

Loveta was wonderful to work with. After having to move our large ceremony to next year, we were looking for a place to have a small, intimate ceremony with just our family. This is a great place! Everything was super easy to set up and we had a great ceremony.

Love is in her name and in her ceremonies

We chose Annapolis Wedding Chapel as an alternative to the courthouse and could not have been happier! Loveta and Siobhan made our day snag-free and full of joy. The planning was super easy and straightforward. Loveta has done this a million times and it shows through her professionalism, humor, and laid back demeanor. We were able to relax and completely enjoy our custom intimate ceremony.

Loveta wrote the most beautiful ceremony for us to use at Quiet Waters Park. She made us (and the guests) laugh and cry with her sweet, personalized words. And she gave us beautiful copies of our vows, ceremony, and all the legal paperwork we need to make my name change. Can't say enough good things about her!

I LOVEEEEEEDDDDDD Everything about my wedding. Loveta was AWESOME in every aspect from start to finish. I made 2 changes to my ceremony 2-3 before the ceremony and she had no problem accommodating us. If you're looking for a small romantic place, Annapolis wedding chapel is it! Everyone that we invited said the place was beautiful and they are still talking 2 weeks later :-). I've read reviews about Loveta being "rude" and I can't believe it. From the very beginning she was straight forward and to the point. When my now wife and I left, all I could say was 'wow, she's been doing this a while and she knows what she's doing' I was thoroughly impressed. 5 stars alllll the way across!!

We LOVED Loveta! She made our ceremony so special. Everything that was important to us was included and it was perfect for us. Loveta suggested a nearby park which turned out to be where our beautiful intimate ceremony took place. She thinks of everything, from the beautiful words to stepping out of the way for certain pictures. She has a great speaking voice and is very professional. Her communication is prompt and she was very flexible when family members were running late to rehearsal and wedding.
