About

Pleasant Hill Chapel is a historic wedding venue in Defiance, Missouri. Constructed in 1922, it was a United Methodist Church up until 2018. In 2022, Jennifer and Jim purchased the property with the intention of transforming the space into a wedding venue. With their background in construction, they renovated the church with great care so as to retain as much of the original structure.
