PLAN YOUR SESSION

Our biggest question asked is "Where are you located?" We enjoy being a tucked away hidden gem to remain a tranquil and private space for our guests. Our family resides on the property as well, so any visit require an appointment via gated entry. Thank you for understanding. Our venue sits on a private rural property inside the Winston-Salem city limits, offering a peaceful country setting that’s still convenient to major cities such as…

• 10 minutes from Downtown Winston-Salem, NC

• 35 minutes from Greensboro, NC

• 75 minutes from Charlotte, NC

• 1 hr 45 minutes from Raleigh, NC

Due to the property being a gated and privately owned residence, site visits/tours by any parties must be scheduled via phone or email to thelittlechapelnc@gmail.com to coordinate any visits at a convenient time for both our family and visitors. As we welcome you in our home, we hope you will make joyous lasting memories and ask you to treat it like your own backyard.

The venue is nearly 10 acre designated area within 56.5 acres of land including, 1.2 acre lake as well as both plenty of wooded and open field area. The chapel itself is 600 sq. ft. and the Solarium is 1500 sq. ft.

With plenty of key spots for photo opportunities and to assure you make the most of your time during your visit, you will need to arrive on time and prepared to explore (with walking shoes) or you may choose to stay in one central area which is easily accessible for all ages and levels of mobility.

We are also here to make location recommendations based on your vision for the day. Just ask! For access to other areas such as the lake and waterfall, please schedule a time with us for a private photo session with your photographer of choice.

Yes! Both our Chapel and Solarium are climate controlled for comfortable year round event hosting. Our solarium glass is tinted as well as has four 5 ton units (that's 20 tons) of HVAC so we are well equipped for all 4 seasons. To put that in perspective, your average American household has 2-3 tons of HVAC.

Please note during the summer months, photo sessions are limited to the exterior of the Solarium to maintain a sustainable and cost-effective space. Indoors access of the chapel upon request/availability.

Yes, ample designated parking is available on site which is privately owned solely for the venue. We have ample parking in two gravel lots and handicap spaces and ramp/parking by the chapel. We also offer golf cart shuttle for weddings (see offerings per packages). Elopements and Microweddings can typically fit all vehicles in the small lot by the chapel and vendor parking in the large lot, therefore do not require golf cart shuttle, however, you may inquire for this service for an additional fee.

Chapel parking: up to 15-18 cars

Lakeside parking: up to 45-55 cars

We encourage carpooling or shuttles to and from the chapel to optimize traffic flow and capacity. A 8-seater golf cart is available to be driven by the venue to/from large lot to Chapel if required. You are also welcome to uber/lyft/ride share, or hire shuttle/trolley/limo service via a 3rd party.

The grounds are home to a flourishing wildlife scene. From the white-tailed deer to Great Egrets and Blue Herons and wild Turkey sighting. Our lake is brimming with Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, Crappie and a few Catfish. You never know what visitors may stop by to say hello!
