Beautiful Wedding Experience

It’s been two years ago and we still can’t get over how beautiful and wonderful our wedding experience was! The venue was picturesque and the staff were amazing. So thankful for the relax atmosphere and presence of the Lord.

Detail-oriented

Wendie and her team were so wonderful to work with! They helped coordinate all of the details and made sure we had what we wanted on our wedding day. When we had a question, they were quick to respond either by email or phone call. They are so kind and hospitable. They get truly excited to celebrate with you and will do whatever they can to make your day go more smoothly, including finding forks for the cake when we could not find the ones we brought. They did so many little things that made the day go so well, and they were less expensive than some other locations in the area. Not to mention the STUNNING lake views from inside the chapel. I would 100% recommend Dooley's Chapel on the Lake to other couples looking for their wedding venue.

The wedding of my DREAMS at Dooleys

Our wedding was on a tight timeline and it was a bit abnormal. We were out of state to plan everything, we couldn’t make it to a rehearsal, and we only invited 20 people. They made it the best day ever!

I bragged about Dooleys to every single person I spoke to during the planning process because they were phenomenal. They made sure I was on track with vendors, orders, layouts, timelines, responsibilities, etc. We called many many times to go over my questions, and sent emails back and forth regularly. Communication was on par. They know what they are doing and they are extremely caring about it. If you host a wedding at Dooleys, you will know exactly what is going to happen on that day - they care about every little detail!

I had explored other venues in the area but the value that Dooleys provided for my budget made the most sense. And it’s absolutely stunning.

Professionalism was top notch. I felt like I had a whole team of wedding planners helping me. I mainly spoke to Wendy, Pat, and James throughout this process and they were all the sweetest.

I am attaching phone pictures for now because we are still waiting on our photographers pictures! Also - the boat ride is such a fun experience! It’s such a magical way to be sent off!

Wedding Bliss

We celebrated the marriage of my son and daughter in law at Dooley’s Chapel! The venue was great and was the perfect setting for the wedding couple. Watching them share their vows while overlooking the woods and lake has made memories for a life time. The staff were very attentive and worked with us to make the whole event one to remember. If you are looking for a venue for a small and intimate celebration then Dooley’s Chapel is the place for you. The location with rental properties nearby and easy access to the Branson area is great for a destination wedding!

Paul/Hammett Wedding

The wedding was perfect. Wendie and her team are very detail and professional. Everything looked amazing. We used the outside venue for the wedding and had the reception inside. It was absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for everything. We will have beautiful memories forever.
