Chapel's Policies

• Full payment and $100 property damage deposit are due at time of reservation.  Must agree to terms and conditions.  If you notify us of your cancellation earlier than 30 days before your scheduled wedding date, you will receive a 50% refund of your reservation fee and 100% of your property damage deposit. If you notify us of your cancellation within 30 days of your date, there is no refund; however, you will receive a refund of your property damage deposit.
