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 or 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 different 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 several 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.
