A ‘NEW’ TREASURE IN CHATHAM CO, NORTH CAROLINA
With over 2600 square feet of beautifully lit and restored space, the chapel is home to our team's official creative headquarters and serves as a special event venue and creative meeting space. Well, we are no exception! Decommissioned in 1987, this once vacant, yet charming chapel still holds a soft spot in the hearts of the surrounding community and

possesses a specific period character we just couldn’t resist. It is here in the heart of Chatham County where we dream up grand ideas, romanticize everything and host events where every detail is beautifully, if not painstakingly thoughtful- we call this “Making the Magic Happen”. The chapel is our baby; sweet and simple; unpretentious yet tastefully elegant- heck, we’d even say she's kind of fancy. She sits apart from traditional catering halls and trendy meeting spaces just waiting for her moment to celebrate style and tradition her way. Never stuffy, the chapel exudes a fresh energy all her own and thanks to much thoughtful re-purposing, she is living her second life. The building is our one-of-a-kind space for spirited events, creative workshops, markets, and business meetings– for consultations, fittings, book signings, chef dinners, and a truly unique setting for film & photo. The chapel is home to area brides who dream of something more special, area chefs and farmers; bakers, photographers, musicians, floral designers and the best event planners – and it has the heartbeat of Chatham at its center. But please remember- she is just a vintage chapel and she is special to us. We are not the be-all and end-all of rental venues; we would even say that we are not for everyone. BUT- if you have been looking for a place to gather that tells a very special story then we are all in!

Sweetest words ever from Jane + Conor— we just had to share.
Happy wedded bliss to you both!⁠

"We had the absolute best day thanks to all the lovely people at The Parlour and their beyond-gorgeous venue! Everything about the Parlour was perfect-- it was the most beautiful backdrop to our wedding day, from the pew house for the ceremony to the garden and courtyard for the reception to the adorable white chapel. ⁠

One of the most important things we were looking for when booking a venue was somewhere naturally beautiful, and the Parlour obviously knocks it out of the park in this category. All the women who work there (shoutout to Kristen and Kit!!) were so wonderful to work with. We appreciate all of their kindness and hard work throughout this process- it really allowed us to relax and soak in the whole wedding day. ⁠

We recommend touring The Parlour for your next event. Every detail is perfectly curated, and the space is the ultimate intimate gathering spot to celebrate a milestone with those you love.⁠" ⁠Jane + Connor, Parlour Couple⁠

Thank you, Reagan and Conlan- Cheers to you both!⁠

Client Review: We chose The Parlour @ Manns Chapel as the location for our wedding; it was one of the best decisions we made!! From the moment we stepped foot into the chapel, we were enchanted by its beauty and serenity!!! The Parlour was our first visit and we knew as soon as we left that we were going to pick it for our day! Our wedding unfolded like a fairytale. We received so many compliments about our venue and their team of planners, The Gathering Co.—not only is the chapel beautiful, but the staff are amazing and so responsive. Kristen was amazing to work with and is so kind and dedicated to her work. Cannot recommend them enough!⁠
