Our wedding at the 1876 Chapel was beautiful. We chose to have our ceremony outside under the walnut trees and then moved inside to the chapel for our beautiful reception. Our wedding pictures turned out beautiful and captured the most special moments of our special day at the 1876 Chapel.

I booked my wedding photography for an on-location shoot at the 1876 Chapel at Walnut Grove. The grounds are beautiful and offer so many opportunities for outdoor photography both inside and outside. The chapel is beautiful. If I hadn’t already booked a wedding venue, I wouldn’t hesitate to book my wedding and reception at the 1876 Chapel. It is small and quaint but with top notch amenities. A+
