About

Hargis Wedding Chapel is nestled in the woods of central Alabama, approximately 22 miles south of Birmingham on Old Hwy 280. It is beautifully and lovingly landscaped by it's care-taker and manager, Walter Savage, Jr. The Chapel was completed in 1967 by Florence and Estes Hargis, who had a love for nature and were dedicated to serving humanity.

The Hargis's built their home on the land in the early 1900's where traces of homes were found that were built during Andrew Jackson's presidency. It was lovingly called "Daffodil Hills" by it's owners and became known as a place where one could find the "southern hospitality" that Alabama has been so famous for. In April, Daffodil Hills comes alive with masses of prize wininning daffodils lifting their bright faces towards the sky and smiling at the sun.

On site above the Reception Hall, is a museum that protects and exhibits some of the Hargis's original furniture made of walnut, rosewood, mahogany and cherry. Also on display are old-timey kitchen utensils as well as delicate and beautiful table service. Countless antiques remind a visitor of simpler days long gone by.

If you are looking for the perfect and affordable place to have your wedding, where the beauty of nature abounds in an atmosphere of harmony and peace, you have found it at the Hargis Wedding Chapel. Call Walter today to schedule your visit and reserve a date to make your wedding dream come true. See why we are called "Shelby County's Best Wedding Destination"

We absolutely loved having our wedding and reception at Hargis! The venue is seriously gorgeous, both ceremony and reception are at the same site, and the owner is super easy to work with. We did some homework and checked several venues in and around Birmingham, and you just can't beat Hargis when it comes to cost, either!

The chapel is one of best kept secrets in Alabama. It's a beautiful span of land (800 acres!) that is beautiful year round. The chapel and reception hall come together with the venue price and the owner is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. And, when you book it, he gives you Friday and Saturday with the venue.

Hargis was perfect in every way. Walt and the staff did anything and everything to make sure that the grounds were ready for our day. They even let us in two days before the wedding to start decorating. They are personable and kind. The atmosphere there was so wonderful and we couldn't have asked for a better venue.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
