| What type of ceremony locations do you have? |
| We offer traditional candlelight ceremonies in our chapel or fireside ceremonies in our great room. We also perform simple ceremonies on our deck overlooking the creek as well as at various offsite locations. |
|
| What type of ceremonies do you perform? |
| All of our wedding ceremonies are strictly religious. We do not do civil ceremonies. While all our wedding ceremonies are distinctly Christian, they are non-denominational. Members of other religions that do not consider themselves Christian are welcome, but please do not ask our ministers to change the Christian nature of the ceremony or remove our religious symbols. Also, please do not ask our ministers to omit references to Christian beliefs. |
|
| Are your ministers church ordained? |
| Yes. All of our ministers are church ordained with many years of actual church ministry experience. |
|
| May we bring our own minister? |
| We will allow a guest minister to have a part of the ceremony. However, our own minister will be involved in the ceremony simply due to photo and time constraints. |
|
| May we write our own ceremony or vows? |
| You may contact our chapel minister who will advise you on personalizing your ceremony. Our ministers will be very personal with you. Please consider that when you want the minister to read something you have written, it can be awkward if he has not had time to see it prior to the wedding. Our ministers have been asked on many occasions if they knew the bride and groom prior to the wedding. You will find our ministers will call you by name and make you feel comfortable and relaxed on your special day. |
|

|
| How much time is allowed with each ceremony? |

The actual time allotted for your wedding is based on the number of guests attending and the services being provided. Most often we schedule one hour for each wedding. More time can be scheduled,or it can be less if it is just the two of you. |

| Do you offer photo and video packages? |

| Is there a dressing area for the bride and groom in the same building as the chapel? |
| Yes, we have dressing rooms? one for the bride and one for the groom. The bride's dressing room has three full length mirrors, a sitting area, and vanity table, providing excellent photo opportunities. The dressing area is in the same building as the chapel so the bride and groom are never exposed to inclement weather. |
|
| How far in advance of the wedding may the bride enter the dressing room? |
| The dressing room will be available for the bride 30 minutes before the wedding. We ask the bride to arrive with hair and make-up done so that she will only need to slip into her wedding attire. |
