The chapel is closed, but I'm busier than ever! I look forward to introducing new services. I'm making changes to the website. Please be patient as I update and add the new services over the next two or three weeks.

I closed the chapel Sunday, and this week has been hopping! I'm making changes to the website, I'm adding photo packages for couples/engagement photography, and I'm booking dates well into next year. It's wedding season, so a few people tied the knot this week, as well.

These dates fill quickly: 9/9, 10/10, and 11/11. If those are your preferred dates this year or next, reach out to me soon. October 29 is also popular. In fact, I've already booked two weddings that day. I have early afternoon and morning available.

I'm adding local destination options, BUT your choices are not limited to those options. Many people ask where the nice places are to get married, and I'm adding a options.

Thank you for your continued support. I look forward to this next step in my journey. I'll make new announcements soon.

This is not goodbye....

I paid the last month's rent for my chapel today. I have mixed feelings. I'm going to miss meeting and marrying couples at my small chapel. On the other hand, my business is not shrinking. I'll be offering other options and also have an exciting idea I hope to implement by next year. (It's a SECRET!)

When I first began this venture four years ago, I called my space "the little chapel that could." I fell in love with the business of marrying couples. I didn't realize the abundance of love and joy I would feel in my heart when I began this journey. Thank you for making me part of your love story.

I'm not taking walk-ins at this time; however, if you or someone you know would like to get married at the chapel, reach out to me to schedule your ceremony. July 28 is the "official" last date I'll be marrying couples in the chapel. I'll be taking down the rest of the décor that day.

I will be able to do "no frills" sign-and-go ceremonies or quick elopements in the lobby up through July 30. I'll be out of town much of July 29 and part of July 30.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my business. I look forward to the next leg of this beautiful journey.

If I have officiated your ceremony at my chapel or somewhere else in WV or OH, I'd love to see a picture of you in the comments below. Also, tell us when you got married. I love hearing updates from my couples. Many of you have expanded your families! Feel free to brag below.

Love is beautiful.

After much reflection, I've decided to close the chapel July 28. This has not -- and still is not -- an easy decision, but it is the best decision for me at this time. I'm not closing my business, just the chapel... for now. Although I have a few Married-in-a-Minute ceremonies scheduled in August, I...

Hello, beautiful brides and grooms! February 22, 2022 is a popular day for booking weddings, and my calendar is nearly full that day. I have an option available for the morning if you want that date and time. I'm traveling out of state at noon, so I will not be available the rest of that day or the next.

February 2, 2022, however, is free. If you want to book that date, please reach out to me soon to secure your spot. It will be a busy wedding day, as well.

Stay warm!
