It is a great thing that Central Texas is home to these hidden gems, because every young lady should get the chance to marry in the chapel of her dreams.

History
It is true; the historical significance of these venues appeal to many modern brides. Some churches provide decades of history within its walls. Couples might opt for these places for a number of reasons; perhaps it is similar to a chapel that their own parents or grandparents exchanged vows many years ago or similar to one they have seen in an old movie. When history meets these old-fashioned venues, it puts an entirely authentic spin on the vintage appeal.

Often times, couples want to get married in a church.  Churches provide a more reverent and precious tone for the ceremony, which still exists as a popular appeal to many Central Texas couples.

Charity

Ask and see what sort of charitable efforts the ceremony site partakes. Couples can also further their good deeds by requesting donations in lieu of gifts or by simply offering leftover food to a local food bank.


Traditional

Whether your inspiration falls under the vintage trends or you aspire to make your classic dream wedding come true, these little Central Texas chapels just might be the perfect place to say “I do.”
