Do you have indoor space for both the ceremony and reception?
Yes! Depending on your guest count, you can either set both up ahead of time or change the room over. We reset the room for most of our weddings and this only takes us about 30 minutes to do so. While the Chapel staff changes the room over, your guests enjoy refreshments on The Courtyard. We leave The Courtyard set during the reception and this gives you indoor and outdoor spaces. View the various locations on our Weddings page.
How many guests can be accommodated?
The Chapel can fit up to 250 for a ceremony. You can have an outdoor ceremony on the Courtyard for up to 150 or in Chapel Hill Park. Capacity for indoor receptions depend on many factors like meal style, and what else is in the room like dance floor, Band/DJ, cakes, etc. Or you can have your reception in a tent at Chapel Hill Park for several hundred.
How many hours do we have the venue for a wedding?
For a Saturday Wedding, 9:00am Friday through 10:30pm on Saturday. For a Sunday through Thursday, 9:00am through 10:00pm on the wedding day. The music and loud noise must stop in accordance with The Waters Homeowners Association rules and restrictions.
Do you allow outside vendors?
Yes. You can choose your own vendors, and we have recommended vendors that have been here in the past and we have had clients give great reviews. While you are not restricted to this list, we highly recommend these vendors as they know our venue well!
Do you offer wedding planning and coordination? What other services do you offer?
We make it easy by offering several Wedding Services! You are required to have a designated Wedding Coordinator on the wedding day that oversees all aspects of the entire day. We offer both Full Planning and Enhanced Coordinating Services and have years of experience in our venue. We also offer Design and Décor, Rehearsal Dinner, Draping and Notary Services. Everything is detailed on our Wedding Services page, but if you have more questions, please Reach Out!
What is your alcohol policy?
We allow beer, wine and liquor as mixed cocktails. No shots are allowed. You purchase your beverages and bring it to the venue during your rental time. The caterer or a bartender can then serve it to your guests. You are required to get liability insurance for the event, and you will be given the specific information for this. No sale of alcohol can be made on the venue property.
Are there hotels or houses to rent nearby?
There are some individually owned homes in the The Waters neighborhood and surrounding area for short-term rentals, like Airbnb. The Shoppes at EastChase is a large shopping area with many hotels and restaurants and it is a 10-minute drive. See the links below to view options.
Tell me more about Micro Weddings
A Micro Wedding is a one-day ceremony and reception rental for $2,450 and is limited to 45 total people, including the couple, wedding party, children, and all guests in attendance. Vendors count toward the total only if they are also attending as invited guests. Guest counts over 45 are considered a full-priced wedding. The ceremony and reception are set up together inside, with the room arranged to accommodate both. The Courtyard may be added for $250 for additional outdoor space. You may add Coordinating/Planning or Décor Services at half price. Micro Weddings are typically booked closer to the event date when availability allows, with most taking place Sunday–Thursday.
