Small Wedding Venue with a Traditional Aesthetic
What’s Included
As we always tell our guests, we provide yesterday’s grace and today’s amenities. The chapel was constructed way back in 1884, and we completed renovations on the property several years ago. It was important for us to preserve the rich history, culture, and heritage of the facility. The chapel still has the original pews from the 1800s along with high ceilings. We’re known in the community for our classic decor, intimate environment, and historic beginnings.
During the renovations, we built a new ballroom which is perfect for wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners. In addition to the reception hall, there is also a groomsmen suite and bridal suite, along with a catering headquarters. During those periods before the wedding ceremony and before the wedding reception begins, there is also a cocktail reception area located next to the main chapel. We are furnished with 48” tables, 30” short cocktail tables, and 30” tall cocktail tables.
We have furnished our chapel with the idea you can keep everything simple with the ability to hold all your events at one location.

Make History in a Historic County Chapel
A wedding is full of history. Marriage is as old as time itself. The history is celebrated in timeless traditions such as using a mother’s or grandmother’s wedding gown or a wedding band with a family heirloom diamond.
Our historic chapel setting provides the backdrop for a timeless wedding.
In the last few decades, explosive growth at Liberty University and the University of Lynchburg has led to many young couples walking down a similar path you are walking today. Our couples find us while looking for a simple, traditional, romantic chapel to make their commitment to marriage.
We’re honored to be the type of small wedding venue that celebrates its history and helps couples come together to write a history of their own.
