Photographers will undoubtedly spend a significant amount of time in this area. Outdoor weddings can be really special, but you don't have to be concerned about the weather. Simply move the ceremony to our indoor Chapel if necessary. Wedding Chapel - Indoor Ceremonies It may be tough to decide whether to hold your ceremony in the Chapel or the Pavilion. The vistas from each will not disappoint you in any case. The Chapel is equipped with a wireless microphone and surround speakers, although the acoustics are so amazing that you might not need them. Bridal Cottage It's all about the bride and her entourage. A lovely spot to get ready for your big day and unwind. After everything is done, you might wish to have a bridal breakfast, lunch, or even stay the night. We also work with Events by Dezine who offers full service packages to our venue. This option is for couples who wish to use our venue, but have someone else provide all the planning and vendor services. If you already have your vendors selected and are just looking for a venue for your event, please contact us. More than likely we can accommodate you and host a very special event.
