In case of inclement weather, you can exchange your vows at the Little Chapel.

History

The Little Chapel in the Woods was dedicated by former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt shortly after holding their first wedding ceremony. It was designed by architect O’Neil Ford and built as a project for the National Youth Administration during the depression. Young women artists have put their stamp on countless features in the chapel. Its symbolism portrays “Women Ministering to Human Needs” on saw-pierced and riveted brass lighting and beech woodwork.

Please note that we are only able to process wedding bookings submitted a minimum of 60 days prior to the confirmed ceremony date. We are not able to process any bookings less than 60 days in advance.

Stunning Venue

The Chapel is stunning. We did not do any decorating inside; it's perfect on it's own. The Chapel attendant was very attentive, helpful, calm and patient! The grounds surrounding the chapel are gorgeous and provide ample photo opportunities. I had always dreamed of being married at The Little Chapel, and the experience was everything I had hoped. I highly recommend this venue for an intimate wedding setting.
