Our Story
Paul and Rhonda Walters consider themselves blessed indeed. God has blessed with them with a very special love for one another, the most incredible six sons you could imagine, with three perfect grandchildren, and more “found children” than they dreamed possible. Their love for one another and for other people caused God to also bless them with a 60 acre farm in Purvis, Mississippi that has become a safe haven for so many.
Over the past year, Paul and Rhonda have invested time, resources, and buckets of sweat equity into converting their horse barn into the most incredible rustic event venue. The “bones” of the barn will be recognizable to those who have been there or boarded their horses there in the past. However, this Chapel @ Whispering Pines (as it will now be known) has definitely taken on a much different look. Where the stalls once were is now a rustic grand room with seating for about 150 people. The old oak tree that stands outside the barn and offers shade from the south Mississippi heat now also covers a beautiful deck that will be the delight of many a party to come. The plans for The Chapel don’t stop there. The pond in the back of the old barn will be enlarged so that couples could eventually be married down by the water, if they so choose. Rhonda vividly describes the Old Country Garden that will be in front of her Chapel, so that precious many photographs of special events can be taken and remembered for a long time to come.
With more than a decade of catering experience under her belt, Mrs. Rhonda will be operating right in her wheelhouse out at the farm. She and Paul can now serve those who choose to host events at The Chapel and share more of that special southern cuisine and hospitality. There’s really nothing quite like a fish fry or crawfish boil out in the country to make your heart happy and your belly full.
The doors to The Chapel @ Whispering Pines are now open for Graduation Celebrations, Birthday Parties, Engagement Parties and Weddings & Receptions. If it can be celebrated, The Chapel @ Whispering Pines can help you make it an event to remember. Contact Rhonda Walters and set up an appointment to visit with her and see this new Chapel @ Whispering Pines. One visit with her over a glass of sweet tea and you’ll understand what all the fuss is about.
