Dooley's Chapel on the Lake Reviews

Pat and Wendie Dooley have created an exquisite experience! The staff did a fantastic job throughout the entire process of bringing out dream wedding to life. 💒 We couldn’t have asked for more!

This venue is absolutely gorgeous 💜
Absolutely perfect in every way and don’t get me started and Mr. & Mrs. Dooley and their staff! Absolutely 10000% recommend this venue! Not just a venue to me anymore they a more like family because they have helped sooo much and have been sooo sweet since day one ☝️ 💜 BOOK WITH THEM !

When we first found this venue, we thought the photos were just gorgeous. The grounds were beautiful, the chapel was beautiful, and the view from the ceremony was breath taking. We met with the owners and just loved everything about the place. It was just perfect and was definitely in our price range. What made this venue the best for us in the end was the service. These people really know how to assist and make sure you have every single thing you need. They are so caring and so helpful. They really made the entire experience seamless. Anything we needed, they were able to help guide us to where we needed to go. I would recommend them 1000% over. You couldn't ask for a better location or better service. They really are the best venue! We are so grateful to have met them and will return in the future!

Our experience with Dooley's was exactly what we were looking for! Quiet, intimate, with a STUNNING view and venue. The staff at Dooley's becomes like family! They are helpful, quick with responding back, have GREAT vendors that understand and appreciate the Dooley Chapel. This part was very important to me as we were planning this wedding a state away, to pick the vendors that Dooley's suggested added a sense of security, one less thing I had to worry about. The Dooley staff is just full of encouraging, Godly spirit and a happiness and wonderful joy. It's like they are just invested in this as you are! We even rented the cabins that were perfect, we had a place to enjoy the family, stay in one spot.. get to enjoy the beautiful surrounding.
If you are looking for this on your special day, then Dooley's is the place for you! I would highly recommend this to my friends and family!

The venue is beautiful and Mr and Mrs Dooley and their staff do an amazing job helping you organize everything, and they are all very nice to be around! Communication was great! Everything went very smoothly and was as promised!

Dooley's went over and above with our wedding. Between being SO on top of the details from the very beginning, and communicating every step along the way, to the vast amount of wedding accessories they allowed us to use at no additional charge, to the flawless execution of every detail on our wedding day... I would wholeheartedly recommend them to every bride and groom. They are passionate about what they do, and provide you with helpful resources for finding the right vendors and I love the level of excellence they applied to every moment of our special day. Their grounds are GORGEOUS and all of our guests were blown away by the beauty and professionalism (and PEACE) with which our wedding was coordinated. Forever thankful to Dooley's for making our wedding day unforgettable!!

Dooley’s Chapel is such a beautiful venue! As soon as we walked in for the first time, we knew we’d get married there! Not only is the venue breathtaking, but the staff there is absolutely wonderful! They made the entire process very easy and manageable, and on the wedding day they made sure every single step went to plan. I had such a great wedding day, all thanks to the venue and the staff there! Thank you all for the wedding I always dreamed of!

Better late than never but very much worth the review. We got married back in June of 2021 and all I can say is thank you thank you thank you for making our day so special and rememberable! The staff and owners of Dooley’s Chapel are exceptionally kind and considerate! They truly go above and beyond to fulfill each couples dream and are passionate about their business. The grounds and chapel are well maintained. The views are spectacular and all the amenities you have available to you are just what you need on your big day! We had a “small” wedding (small to me) of about 90 people and used all three spaces. We got married in the “enchanted woods” which is their new outdoor ceremony space. Wendy and the staff brought in these beautiful crystal chandeliers to hang from the trees. Our photographer was able to capture these in the photos and it did make the space very magical! 100% would recommend that space to anyone interested as it provided an opportunity for the down stairs (we utilized this space for cocktail hour and games) AND the upstairs to be ready whenever you or your guests need it. It was so hassle free since they provide the tables/chairs and do set up and tear down for you. We had plenty of space to move around, dance, and eat. Everyone complemented us on the beautiful venue! Another big “wow” for me was how Wendy and the staff jumped right in to help me, my family, and friends decorate the chapel the day before (this was an additional charge and depends if the space is available the day before). I was a DIY bride and had tons and tons of decorations to put out, more than what I could of handled. But I dropped off some boxes beforehand and we took some time arranging them on the tables to get it “just right”. The day we came to decorate, Wendy and the staff already had all the table decorations out for us and set up, which was so helpful, we were able to focus on other details. Wendy and the staff have everything down to a science, and honestly think of everything, that from start to finish, everything went very smoothly. They were always willing to try an idea, and if it couldn’t be done, find a good compromise. Finally, I highly recommend the boat and sparkler send off! Pat did an amazing job coordinating both of these efforts and our pictures turned out beautiful because of them! Our only regret is not booking the place longer (we had it for about 8 hrs for pre-ceremony pictures, ceremony, and reception) so we could take more pictures across the beautiful grounds. Thank you again to Pat, Wendy, and the entire staff at Dooley’s Chapel on the Lake! You were all amazing and we are incredibly grateful that we were able to use your space for our day!

Love Brogan & Alan Huey

Wendy and Jill were so helpful with planning my daughter's wedding. With a destination wedding, you may find many obstacles, but with there help everything was beautiful. My daughter was so happy with how beautiful and seamless her special day was. Thank you so much.

Dooley's staff was so amazing to work with. We had to change our wedding date literally four days before our wedding and they were so accommodating and helpful getting everything moved around. The venue was absolutely gorgeous. The view of the lake was breaking. People still tell me how perfect my wedding was. I am so glad I found Dooley’s!

We had a very traditional yet non-traditional service. We are a middle-aged bride and groom (first marriage for him, second marriage for her). We wanted a beautiful lakeside venue that was within driving distance for our friends and family. We wanted a fun ceremony but one that also included our children and truly celebrated our new family. Dooley's was the perfect fit.
Wendie, Pat and Layne were EXTREMELY easy to work with. Even with the pandemic and subsequent lake flooding, they were responsive and kept things calm and organized. In the end, we had to pare down our wedding guest list and utilized the dock for a perfect lake wedding. We then utilized the chapel for a fun reception with dinner two months later (when restrictions were eased up).
Even though wedding planning can be stressful, we are so happy that we chose Dooley's. From the first tour with Layne, to the wedding ceremony adapted for high lake levels, to the "familymoon" weekend following the ceremony with our new extended family, to the beautiful reception, everything was top-notch and just... easy. They took our ideas (dock wedding, pictures on the groom's motorcycle, BBQ catering, etc...) and made them even better.
Would definitely recommend Dooley's for any sized wedding or reception! We also plan on going back in the future just to enjoy the resort and the lake!

The place was absolutely spectacular more than we even imagined staff was very accommodating and made our day perfect we strongly recommend having your special day at Dooleys you will not be disappointed in the views are breathtaking ❤️

Dooley's Chapel is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL venue, with the kindest and most helpful staff. I felt truly cared for by them, not like I was just a customer using their services. My husband and I rented the chapel for two hours so that we could have a small, intimate ceremony then take our wedding photos on their property. They have such a lovely piece of land that is right next to Table Rock Lake, which makes for beautiful photos! They also have a bride ready room and a groom room, which are beautifully decorated. Also, if you're minimalistic like my husband and I (and trying to save money), they already have beautiful decorations that the staff sets up for you prior to your big day, but you can also bring additional decorations if you want to. I was always worried I'd be beyond stressed on my wedding day, but the staff at Dooley's Chapel helped make my day stress free and exactly what we had envisioned. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone & everyone!

The staff at Dooley’s Chapel made my day as relaxing and simple as possible. Our day was so amazing and It was all because of how easy they made it for us!
