Owen Chapel is beautiful
Owen Chapel is a beautiful church to marry in. Ms. Margaret is so sweet and truly wants you to have the most perfect wedding day. She is always willing to show you the church and answer any questions. It was perfect for our wedding.
To note: you do need to pick up Ms. Margaret and transfer her to and from the church day of and for the rehearsal (lives down the road from the church). You also need to vacuum the sanctuary and take any trash from the building with you.

Carrie Sent on 08/26/2008Owen Chapel is an old, historic church building, built in 1860. It's just beautiful. There are two red doors on the front of the building, which were originally for women/children and men to enter the building separately. The pews inside are original the structure, including a partial partition down the center of the middle set of pews. The partition originally scaled from floor to ceiling, separating men from women and children. Not only is this place a real gem visually, but it's also a steal economically!! I believe we paid $200 to reserve the building for a Friday and Saturday, but they let you have the key at the beginning of the week to do any decorating necessary over the span of the week. The building probably holds about 200 people (we think that's about how many we had, and it was pretty much packed out), but be sure the AC works! It froze at one temp and wouldn't come back on for us, so everyone was burning up in June. All in all, for the price and the visual aesthetic, this place is absolutely worth it all. It's quaint, simple, and stunningly unique. I should be clear...we used this building only for the wedding ceremony. We had friends who married there and used the grounds outside for the reception - they set up a few white tents, and it was very beautiful. We, however, needed some place w/air conditioning, so we used another church a couple miles away. -

If you are an out of town bride looking for a church wedding - this is your place!
Renting the church requires two checks (deposit that will be returned to you and the actual payment.) payment is minuscule for the gorgeous venue you are receiving. You do not have to be a member.
Call Mrs. Margaret to schedule a viewing to see the church. Be prepared to chat a while - she is an immigrant that married a soldier after WWII and followed him here. Her stories are fascinating and sweet.
Assign an aunt, mom, or responsible family friend to pick up Mrs Margaret for rehearsal and ceremony. She was a delight to work with and gave us plenty of rehearsal time and time before ceremony for pictures. Room for x8 bridesmaids and bride to hide before ceremony.
Church is bright white with minimalistic features. You are allowed to decorate but won't need much because the altar speaks for its self - no candles. The windows have fake candles in them.
Small town feel with big city accommodations. -
