Our Family Is Here for You
Howard and Donna fell in love in high school and married young. They did not have the opportunity to have the wedding of their dreams. After the chapel was built as a 30th wedding anniversary present from Howard to his wife, couples came knocking on their door, asking to get married in their backyard chapel. When the opportunity to host couple’s dream weddings presented itself, Chapel in the Pines was created. Thirty years and 3,000 weddings later, our services have expended. We take pride in providing simple, beautiful, affordable weddings with a supportive staff.
