How many guests does your chapel seat?
60 comfortably, but we've had 75. Standing room also probably 100. Outdoor weddings will accommodate up to 150 guests. We also have FREE PARKING for your guests *Tip (Make a copy of the map to give to your guests in their invitations.) 
 

What's the weather like?
Well, your guess is as good as mine. Although we are not forecasters generally the snow stays on the mountains and all main roads are passable by car. A 4-wheel drive is recommended or at least a front wheel drive in the winter months. You can call us up to 5 days prior to your wedding date and we can give you the local 5 day forecast (but remember this is subject to change )

Is your minister ordained?
YES! Dr. Benny Wallis is a retired Southern Baptist Pastor from Mississippi. He performs beautiful Christian ceremonies personalized to fill your needs. He can also include a medallion ceremony for the children to unite families together as a whole. Brother Wallis' words are simple, but beautiful and memorable.
