I cannot believe that Anne ever had a decent experience at this Chapel. Sounds more to me like the owner/consultant trying to convince people of something. The so-called consultant is an overbearing and self-consumed control freak. There is actually a line in her contract where she demands that everyone (including the wedding party, photographer, florist, etc.) ""respect her authority and do as she asks."" She is a very unprofessional and extremely rude person. I cannot believe she even attempts to run a business in the manner that she does. The ""chapel"" she has to offer is nothing more than a spruced up barn. She acts like it is a location worthy of extreme elegance and poise. Ha! No matter how hard she tries (by requiring couples to use only her caterer, bartender and DJ, and by having approval over ALL decorations and floral arrangements), the place is still on the low-end when it comes to wedding locations. Don't get me wrong, I was married there in 2005, and if it weren't for the owner and her attitude, I would have been happy. If you are working on a limited budget and aren't that concerned with the location, it is a perfectly fine place to go. However, the owner's ""image"" that needs to be upheld, is certainly not constrained by your budget. The moral of my story is that the owner’s rude and entitled attitude makes it not worth the effort, even if she was giving the place away. She has no business running a business.
