WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS PLACE
A Here Comes The Guide Venue Review
Set on 56.5 acres of lakeside meadows, this family-run sanctuary, specializing in elopements and intimate celebrations, has a timeless, fairytale feel—though it’s right within Winston-Salem, so your traveling guests will have no trouble finding local accommodations.
The charming chapel was purpose-built by local artisans using 500 year-old English brick, and features stunning details like exposed oak ceiling trusses, breathtaking custom stained glass windows, and two sweet covered porches hung with rustic chandeliers.
There are lovely outdoor spaces, too, if you’ve been dreaming of an al fresco wedding, and beautiful photo opportunities around the lush grounds. The darling “Tiny Cottage” is a perfect, cozy place to settle in for a morning of preparations with your favorite people.

THE CHAPEL
The Little Chapel started as the Bradford family's private sanctuary and has since opened its doors to welcome intimate gatherings. It seamlessly marries modern craftsmanship with a rich tapestry of historical treasures, including centuries-old stained glass, roof tiles, and Medieval bricks, originating from England. More than a sanctuary, it's a place of inclusivity, where every guest finds a welcoming space to commemorate and connect.
THE MEADOWS
A serene natural oasis of lush grasslands, grace the 56+ acre creekside property. Within this expansive landscape, the designated venue area spans nearly 10 acres, harmoniously set against the backdrop of over 40 acres, lovingly preserved as a scenic and vibrant urban nature sanctuary- making for a tranquil escape.
THE SOLARIUM
Entertain your guests in our climate-controlled Victorian-inspired greenhouse, soaring 28.5ft tall and spanning an expansive 1,500ft². More than just an event space, it promises an unforgettable experience close to nature. Let your celebrations flourish and your vision find its timelessly romantic setting.
"We loved the fact that The Little Chapel is a family owned, full-service venue. Having both the ceremony and reception at the same location simplified our planning and made things easy on our guests while the gorgeous chapel and solarium provided the perfect backdrops for our ceremony and reception.
The offerings at The Little Chapel perfectly fit our ideal wedding day, allowing for a European-style environment fitting our personal style with the added convenience of a short commute from downtown Winston-Salem. The close proximity to hotels and restaurants combined with the secluded feeling of the grounds made for the perfect wedding weekend! We would tell other couples to look for a venue run by people who are passionate about what they do so that your wedding day feels special to everyone involved rather than just like a business. That is why I would highly recommend any couple to consider having their wedding at The Little Chapel, given that the Bradford family are kind, involved in the process, and clearly view The Little Chapel as a calling, rather than a wedding mill style venue."
