About

On WeddingWire since 2019

Graceland’s Chapel in the Woods is a museum wedding venue located in Memphis, Tennessee. Providing a secluded and serene ceremony setting, this place manages to fuse history with new beginnings as couples get married near Elvis Presley’s Graceland Estate.

Facilities and Capacity

Graceland’s Chapel in the Woods offers a picture-postcard place for couples to say ‘I do’. Surrounded by tall trees, greenery, and cloaked in a relaxed ambiance, there is so much to admire here.

From the outside, the white-painted wooden chapel, with its tall porch area, promises a world of wonder inside - and it does not disappoint. Here, there is ample room for up to 75 guests to be seated as your beautiful ceremony takes place, doubtless after weeks and months of intricate planning. Complete with beautiful church-style pews, floor-to-ceiling windows that let in generous amounts of light, and exposed wooden beams, it exudes a great deal of wonderful charm. When decorated with flowers and populated by your close friends and family members, the place truly comes alive. You and your significant other can pop on your blue suede shoes as you declare your vows at the altar. Then, a fusion of rapturous applause and Elvis songs serenade you as you exit towards the reception.

Indeed, for the reception, some of Graceland’s event spaces can be rented out for the celebrations. The Graceland Guest House is just one of the many spaces that you can utilize as the revelries begin.

The chapel's patio area is also a wonderful space to utilize as it provides somewhere picturesque and private to preserve those special group and couple portraits.

So that the wedding party can prepare, get their makeup done, and arrange their attire for the special occasion, get-ready suites are available to make use of.

Betty Johnson helped so much in planning my wedding - especially with me planning from an out of town location in Maryland. My mom met with her in person in Dec 2011 which helped decide it was the perfect place for the wedding ceremony. After that time, Betty and I exchanged countless emails. Her response time was always quick and she was sure to let me know if she would be out of the office for any amount of time. She would always get the answers to questions I asked - from ordering a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting to measuring the height from floor to ceiling of the dias. When I arrived in Memphis, I spoke with Betty on the phone and she encouraged me to come by the chapel before the day of the ceremony to tour it. During this time, my vision for setting up my ceremony decorations (which I brought in myself) really came together. Betty was very flexible in what in-house arrangements she would move and in trying out playing the ceremony music from my phone. The day of the wedding went so smooth - it was absolutely perfect. My husband and I can't wait to get our photos from the photographer, Dana. The minister was a kind, southern gentleman and went through the ceremony beautifully. I highly recommend the Chapel in the Woods for a small, close-knit family and friends type of wedding. You will be impressed with it ALL - from Betty's assistance, the beauty of the chapel inside and the grounds, the delicious cake and punch, and the friendly photographer (not to mention the opportunity to take your picture with a small wedding party in front of Graceland)!
