Our Wedding Chapel

Our newly remodeled chapel has a vintage flair with rustic tones, high ceilings, and a big altar perfectly sized for your customization. With little to no decoration, our chapel has its own character that will accommodate any wedding. It is right across the street from the venue, so all your guests can walk right over to the reception after the wedding ceremony.

When you book your wedding reception, ceremony, and events at the Historic you will have a day of venue manager onsite during your event to make sure things go well and you have the wedding of your dreams.

We can offer ambient lighting to make your evening dazzling.
