Our rustic wedding venue is one of a kind! If you're interested in a venue offering a new experience for your wedding guests then consider taking a tour of our unique chapel. This venue offers the bride and groom the opportunity to personalize every detail of their wedding, by dressing up or dressing down according to their style. We're flexible and encourage you to put together your dream wedding at our rustic but elegant woodsy setting. Chapel in the Woods combines vintage and rustic charm for a truly enchanted wedding experience.
Services
Chapel in the Woods is located at our Christian home on our family farm near Louisburg, NC. My husband and I bought the property, 56 acres, from my great uncle's family when they were settling the estate. We planned to build a pond and a house to make it our home one day. This property was perfect for us because my parents lived on the adjacent tract of land.
Our woodsy outdoor wedding venue offers a picturesque setting for your wedding ceremony and reception. It's the ideal farm setting with several options for your custom wedding. Whether you're planning a rustic wedding in the spring, summer or fall, allow us to share your special day in the peaceful atmosphere of our farm!
Our rustic barn transforms into the perfect cocktail area for friends to relax and enjoy their time together. Your guests will admire the old farm tools on display in the large tack room. While the guests are entertained at the barn, the wedding party has time to take those very important photographs at the chapel before the wedding party's big entrance at the pavilion.

Rose and Jerry are excellent hosts. They go above and beyond to make sure you have an excellent experience. I planned to get married here on June 13th. Due to COVID-19, we have made the personal choice to go another route. Rose has been more than understanding and very accommodating. She's helped me brainstorm different ideas and is still allowing for my bridal portraits to be taken on the property. If you're considering this venue, you won't regret your choice! This is the one!

My daughter got married this past weekend, at it was absolutely beautiful. Rose and her staff went above and beyond to make this a very special day for Ashley. The rain kept her from being able to get married at the woodsy chapel, and we had to move the ceremony to the pavilion. I don't believe it could have been any more beautiful than it was thanks to Rose.
She and her staff made sure everything was just right. She is a joy to work with and a very sweet lady who loves what she does. I would recommend this venue to any bride! Thank you Rose for everything you did for us! Mother of the Bride! Brenda Wall

I've had the pleasure to do some weddings at Chapel in the Woods. It's probably been one of the most accommodating venues. Mrs. Rose is so kind and has a great staff to help as some extra hands. I really love that she also has a selection of rentals that can be used on the brides wedding day! I would highly recommend this venue to any bride wanting an outdoor wedding.

My fiance and I were looking for a wedding venue and while we liked the venue, we could not bring ourselves to work with people that are openly bigoted. Fiance and I are straight, but the appalling unprofessional and bigoted nature of the people who run this venue was brought to our attention by a gay couple we are friends with who let us read their email exchanges.
We will not support a business that is homophobic under the guise of 'religion' and sends outright aggressive email responses to inquiring LGBT couples. Weddings are a time to celebrate love. Hateful exclusion has no place in this industry.

I attended a wedding in mid-September at Chapel in The Woods. Parking was onsite and very easy. If you are wearing nice shoes, they will get dusty (if it is dry). Watch out for horse droppings on your way to the ceremony/reception. The ceremony was in front of a lake, and the chairs were comfortable. You could easily hear the officiant from the back row without any amplification (around 100+ guests).
The reception was held in a covered patio area a short walk away from the ceremony venue. The trees and covered patio were well lit with decorative string lights, and it made for a lovely reception. There were no aggravating insects. The restrooms were recently renovated and felt new and clean. Some events (cocktail hour, cake cutting) held in a outdoor area around a barn nearby.
It did not smell bad or look dirty at all. If you want a barn feel to your reception or an amazing outdoor view in your ceremony, then the Chapel in the Woods is an excellent place to consider. (Since I was only a guest, I have no knowledge about how helpful the venue personnel were.)

I went and toured the property with my soon to be sister in law who is also a bride! (we're both Ashley's marrying identical twins!) Let me just point out that my best friend is a lesbian married woman and I am on full board with the LGBT community, HOWEVER please take into consideration that this family is not only strong in their religious beliefs but their HOME is on the property.
They have never bashed the LGBT community they just prefer to not partake in those beliefs and guess what? That's fine! Please be mindful and respectful in regards to others opinions just as you wish others to be towards you. This woman was about in tears expressing her passion for these weddings! She was such a sweet woman and her husband a very seemingly humble gentleman.
Although there has been a slight setback in my wedding plans at the moment, I WILL be choosing this property as a venue for my wedding and I absolutely cannot wait! They are very accommodating and one of the biggest things that stood out, aside from the beautiful property, was when I was asking questions about if I can do this or that she said absolutely!
The sky is the limit! She has an array of decor that can be used as well. Again I cannot wait and hope anyone reading this review finds this to be helpful. Just because your opinion or belief is different from someone else's doesn't make you a bad business or person in general.

My sister chose this wedding venue and she was not disappointed! Beautiful property, resourceful owner who provided a list of recommend caterers, photographers, etc. Rose went above and beyond to ensure my sister's special day was everything she wanted it to be. She allowed us to use some of her personal items to decorate as well as provided outstanding customer service through and through! All of our family, friends and the newlyweds had a wonderful experience and were very impressed! I highly recommend this beautiful venue and remarkable owner!

As a recent bride, I wanted my wedding to occur in a place that promotes love. Unfortunately, this venue is not LGBT friendly. And while my husband and I are straight, we support the rights of all people to join into a marriage as we did. I want brides that are like-minded to be fully aware that this venue is not supportive of certain couples, and I find that to be quite distasteful and undesired when it comes to where I want the happiest day of my life to be.
