I came across this venue because originally I wanted to do a ceremony only wedding and this place came up. I fell in love with this venue quickly because of the surrounding nature. There is also a beautiful waterfall on the waterfall terrace. I met with Susie and learned more about the packages they offered I ended up going with a 8 hr package to get the full wedding experience. The all inclusive nature of the packages was perfect for me as I am not a planner and the price was well worth it. I booked in September 2024 and had my wedding in November 2024. I was worried about it being pretty stressful because it was such a quick planning period, but Sherill and Susie sent over documents of things I needed to pick out such as flowers, colors, cake design, seating arrangements, music, and all the little details that make up your wedding day over email. So many things I would have not have thought of. We met once for 3 or 4 hrs to go over and plan the whole wedding based on the emails and had a quick 15 min phone conversation to finalize any last minute details a few weeks before the wedding. The day went so perfect especially for the amount of time we had to plan. I am extremely happy on how it all turned out. Sherill and her team did absolutely incredible on our wedding day. From the flowers to the cake, the team made all my pinterest pins a reality. I definitely recommend this place for a stress free experience wedding planning. I received so many compliments on the environment as it was so beautiful. read more

We had a wonderful experience with Chapel on the Mountain, and I cannot say enough great things about the venue, Sarah, and PJ. Whether it is your first wedding or you are remarrying (as I did) this is a perfect option. You can be as involved with the planning process as you want, or you can alleviate a lot of stress and let them plan most everything. Due to us working full time and having a toddler we personally needed to have someone else do most of the planning, so I took a huge leap of faith and let them handle everything. However, as the time grew nearer I wanted to get more involved and Sarah didn't flinch at all. I could text/call her with a ton of questions and she'd either call or text me back right away and she ALWAYS took care of anything that I would suddenly throw out last minute, while also making me feel better about all the choices we made even if it meant putting more pressure on her. PJ was also amazing to work with. She handled the rehearsal and the day of the wedding, making things happen while also taking care of me and my family and friends. We decided that we wanted to leave earlier than expected and she somehow got the limo to us magically, but she immediately had a back up plan if for some reason she could not get them to us at the new (and very last minute) time. As far as vendors that the Chapel used....Bubba's Catering managed the food and it was so great. We deviated from our package and Sarah worked with the caterer to get us a buffet that came with 2 meats, a couple of veggies, salad and bread all for a very reasonable price. I cannot remember the names of the companies that the cake and flowers came from but the cakes were delicious and the flowers (especially on the arch outside) were gorgeous. Gari-Ann Photography did the pictures and she was wonderful with everyone and didn't waste time so we could get to our rehearsal. One last thing, our wedding was outside on May 25th and it was a record high of 96. Due to the way the trees canopy over the area where people sat and where we stood, it did not seem like 96...it was perfect! Truly I could go on and on about Chapel on the Mountain. It was the best decision we made for our wedding, and I/we highly recommend them! read more

Long story short, our wedding day was ruined because of this place. We were unhappy with this company from the get-go. The management was very unprofessional and non-responsive to emails/phone calls. Once I picked the flowers I wanted (which actually came from the company's website), I got 2 or 3 different stories about why I shouldn't choose the flowers I chose (ranging from "I don't recommend those", "Those were spray painted", and finally "That picture was color enhanced". Two months before the wedding, I found out that the invitations that were "included" in the package were nothing but a plain bit of card stock that I had to print my invitation on and mail out myself. Also two months before the wedding we were told that we could have alcohol at the wedding but we would have to fork out another $1500 give or take in order to do so. Had we have known that we could have had alcohol, we could have budgeted for it. I'm not even going to mention how bad I thought the food was, all I will say is I do wish we could have just kept the Publix cheese and veggie trays. They also got the order for our cake wrong! We asked for Chocolate cake with cream cheese icing. We got some sort of white cake with cream cheese filling. The ceremony was rushed and the DJ was horrible (he pronounced my husbands name wrong even though he has one of the easiest, most recognizable names on the face of the earth) and kept making awkward/weird remarks. The list goes on and on. One of the biggest things that messed up our night is that one of the staff members hit my new sister in law's car. She wasn't going to tell her except that many people witnessed her hit it and told us. My sister-in-law is now in the process of working with the staff members insurance to fix her vehicle. The same staff member had the audacity to ask my new sister-in-law via text message if I was going to leave them a bad review....Well your answer is YES MA'AM. I do not recommend The Wedding Chapel on the Mountain to anyone. 10/10 would NOT DO IT AGAIN. The best part of our wedding was leaving that place. read more

I do not recommend this venue to anyone. I was in a wedding this weekend at the Wedding Chapel, and it was extremely chaotic. Sarah, the wedding coordinator, completely dropped the ball for the wedding. She was nowhere to be found the day of the wedding up until the ceremony. She insisted that there was no need for a rehearsal, but when it was time to walk down the aisle, no one knew what to do. The groomsmen did not even know they were supposed to escort parents and grandparents to their seat. Upon escorting the grandparents to their seats, they were asked to move because the groomsmen were not informed where they were supposed to seat the grandparents. Then, the GROOM and PREACHER did not know where to enter the chapel (kind of an important part). Again, CHAOS. When we arrived at the location, the chapel was dirty, and it smelled extremely musty. The bride's dad spent the majority of his time cleaning the chapel and setting up the arch. The reception area was still set up from the wedding the day before, and the mother of the bride had to ask the staff to steam the table cloths because they were extremely wrinkled. The reception area was not set up the way the bride had requested. The bride paid $200 for up lighting in the room, only for it not to be there at the time of the reception. Upon asking the "coordinator" where it was after the reception was over, she lied and said that the bride had called and cancelled it the week leading up to the wedding. I knew this was a lie because it was one of the things she was most excited about. After the wedding, the bride contacted Sarah to discuss the long list of things that went wrong on her SPECIAL DAY only to have Sarah raise her voice and degrade her on the phone. Sarah was INCREDIBLY disrespectful. All in all, if you decide to book this venue, I hope you have a group of bridesmaids and a photographer who will go out of their way to make sure your day is how it is supposed to be. Also, don't forget your cleaning crew to make sure the venue is clean before your wedding. Don't forget to leave your expectations of being respected at home too because disrespect should be expected at this venue. If you value your sanity, do not, I REPEAT DO NOT, book this venue. read more

Father of the Bride here. If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. Everything was perfect. From the initial meetings with my daughter and Sara and PJ where every detail was worked out including things we weren't even thinking about all the way through the ceremony, I couldn't have been more pleased. Sara and PJ are the consummate professionals, attending to every detail and ensuring that everything stayed on track. The venue is gorgeous, the flowers and decorations were beautiful, the cakes (bride's and groom's) were beautifully made and delicious, the food was fantastic, the DJ was great, and the limo taking my daughter and her new husband away was a great final touch. It was a perfect event at the perfect place. Highly recommend this venue and staff. read more

The Wedding Chapel On The Mountian is a beautiful venue with great staff. They offer great services for weddings while taking the stress out the planning and handling all of all the details. I have worked with the entire staff and they are so positive, hard-working, and always willing to go above and beyond to make your day feel extra special. Everything is newly decorated, the space is timeless and classy. They offer an indoor or outdoor option for your ceremony as well as a beautiful reception hall. Whether you are wanting to have a wedding with your friends and family or a simple vow renewal this is the place to go. read more

AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE. Run and run for the hills, fast. Sarah the self-proclaimed "coordinator" should reconsider her occupation because I know doorknobs that could do better work than her. She was impossible to contact prior to the wedding (multiple attempts had to be made), she was absent until 15 minutes before the ceremony started (only visible through the blinds that went into her office), and then extremely rude to all family and guests (multiple encounters with many different people). Friends and family made this wedding what it was, NOT Sarah and her colleagues. If you are planning to get married at this venue, please please PLEASE read this next part. If any of this is appealing to you and you'd like to be treated this way on what should be the best day of your life, then by all means proceed: 1) No direction or instruction was given to bridal party until 5 minutes prior to walking down the aisle. Sarah mentioned to the bride that a rehearsal dinner would not be necessary because she would provide clear instruction prior to the day--which she did not. This resulted in so much confusion. 2) The wedding lacked MANY items that the bride selected and paid for in her package. $200 Uplighting in the reception hall, a guest book, balloons at the entrance, and bubbles for the reception to name a few items that were forgotten by Sarah. 3) Rude. Rude. RUDE. Many people witnessed the unprofessionalism portrayed by the staff at this venue. They muttered cross words about the photographers under their breath, they rushed the wedding party while taking pictures prior to the reception, they made snarky comments to many people like parents of the bride, the list could go on and on. 4) The bride and groom were promised a plate of food to go waiting for them in the limo. To no surprise, this was missing too. They got left over food from the reception PICKED BY HAND and thrown into a to go plate. (Catering rule #00001 Bride and Groom ALWAYS get fed first.) 5) Following the wedding the bride made a list of all the items that were wrong and/or forgotten by Sarah and contacted her about what happened. Sarah was quick to raise her voice, talk over the newlywed, and speak in an extremely condescending manner. When the bride mentioned to Sarah all that was wrong and asked what would do to fix it she replied with, "You will get $200 back for the uplighting and that is all you will get from me. You are just one of those people that think they can complain and get your money back for everything in life. You aren't getting anything more than $200 from me." She offered to send the bride a guest book after the wedding.. Because that's what everyone wants, a blank wedding guest book lying around their house.. So many more things happened on this day. I have a 3 page list of mistakes made by Sarah.. these are just a few that I chose to mention. I will conclude this very long review by saying this: I would not recommend The Wedding Chapel on the Mountain to ANYONE. My heart breaks for my dear sister who has Sarah's shit show to look back on as the happiest day of her life. I hope Sarah finds another job because wedding coordinating is definitely NOT her strong suit. read more

Have you ever seen a rabid dog that can't control itself? This is what comes to mind when you meet the venue manager Sarah. She is a peak unprofessional, rude, highly emotional, and confrontational. Because of the volatility of this person we found it necessary to save emails and record conversations as proof of her attempts to sabotage our contract with our client. While the venue states that it will work alongside outside vendors used by the clients, beware. There were a number of small, yet essential details this venue should share with outside vendors. For instance, using water in the kitchen impacts the flow of the toilets onsite. Our clients asked to have certain food prepackaged for them and the venue was so restrictive they wouldn't let us set this inside the fridge so their takeaway food sat out for hours as they held their reception. Because this venue does offer very limited catering options, they are particularly rude to offsite caterers even when they've been verified and checked out by the client. Overall you can find way better options and service at other venues around the Huntsville area. read more

Loved my wedding at the Chapel. Sarah and PJ handled all my details for my dream wedding. It was better than I thought I would be! Being on a budget, I was worried my wedding would never be perfect. By having my wedding at the Chapel I was able to afford more. Sarah explained to me how she gets special pricing from vendors because she books them directly and guarantees them so many weddings per year. I was not only able to afford my wedding party flowers, but could afford to add centerpieces and flowers on the arch to my package! I think I cried at the meeting when I found that out. Super customizable, affordable, and great staff! 5 stars! read more

Part one My experience with the wedding chapel was an overwhelmingly stressful, taut experience fraught with unprofessionalism, lies and nauseating fakeness. So many time I just wanted to shout STOP LYING and call out their repeated unprofessionalism. But I booked and had paid for my wedding within a month of the event and I really had no recourse, but to just try to stay calm and try to make the best of a bad situation, so that I could try to engage them to at least perform some semblance of following through on what's supposed to be the best day of my life. This maybe lengthy but I'll try to categorize into the three topics below to make it easier to read. Unprofessional * Started when we first met, there were two vendors also there which Sarah the owner juggled between not giving me the potential customer undivided attention, even asked me to wait while she dealt with her vendors. She's the one who told me to come at that time! If she had other obligations she should have told me to come at a different time. It appeared that she told me to come when the vendors were coming so she wouldn't have to make two trips to the venue * The behavior above continued at any subsequent visits, they(Sarah or PJ) always met me when they had another reason to be at the venue not just for me. One time I requested to come up and go over last minute details and another wedding was still going on!! I couldn't believe it and they had another bride there consulting with her. Moral if you want undivided customer attention, just as some of the other post say don't count on it. Also Sarah would walk away when I was talking to her or be looking at her phone not only disrespectful but completely unprofessional. * They were consistently unresponsive, Constantly had to call, text and email them two and three times just to get a response * Loved to play the excuse game for lack of communication-when I finally did reach them during the pre-planning stages Sarah would say oh I thought I responded to that or PJ(wedding coordinator) would say oh I thought Sarah was going to call you back * Table overlays that I had asked for way in advance and that they said had come in a week before the event were not ironed- I couldn't believe it when I walked in the venue and every crease from how they were folded and crumpled in the package was evident on ALL the tables-(see picture) * Didn't refill nuts and a very small display of cookies and candy for 50 guest(see pictures). Nuts were not refilled * No punch/drink fountain-venue showed me a beautiful punch fountain that was included in my cost, but the day of my wedding they simply had a bowl with a ladle in it(see pictures) * Didn't announce bridal party at reception-said they would, even wrote down names and asked me how to pronounce them-when I asked PJ aren't you going to announce them she said no they can just walk in..I was shocked * Didn't get best man for toast and no announcement of what was going on the guest just had to notice on their own hat we were getting ready to open the sparkling * No petals down aisle like they said they were going to do * PJ always had scowl on face-seemed pretty evident that she didn't want to be there early or didn't want to deal with me-PJ also had displeasure and sharp tone in her voice every time I asked her something at my wedding * PJ the wedding coordinator ate my guest wedding food (chicken), before they had even been served!! And then told me how good it was...unbelievable, that was for the guest and had been paid for per person read more

!WARNING LONG READ BELOW...! Short version: This place ruined our wedding experience and would not recommend. Long version: I do not leave any reviews or comments but I have given an exception for this once instance because I do not want anyone else go through what my wife and I went through. We got married on May 6th 2017, that day was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives but ended up in tears and disappointment. We picked this venue an year ago and from the beginning there was a very big lack of communication between us and the management. We tried to pay for the wedding every month but at times was hard to even contact the management and when she did say she would call back...she rarely did because she stated she was too busy. This lack of concern made us feel as though we were low on her priority list. As time progressed the communication barrier became larger, and we kept finding out little details that would have been good to know in the begining such as the payment to the minister is separate from the package, the invitations provided were plain as the Sahara but costed $50 dollars and that we would have to basically do the filling out and printing ourselves. In the beginning, we were informed that alcohol was not allowed nor could not be provided at the venue. The management informed us that she might be working on something to change the alcohol situation and would let us know. A few weeks before the wedding is when she suddenly remembered to tell us but after everything would be said and done the cost would have added almost $1,500 on top of the wedding and we would have to provide it. If this information would have been provided earlier we would have encompassed it in the budget and worked out the logistics. After the disaster that was the ceremony, we were both ready for a drink. During the day of the wedding a little chance of rain was expected and we understand that no one can control the weather but our ceremony was unorganized and rushed. The food was awful, the DJ plainly sucked but we had been earlier informed by management that he would be one of the top DJs in Alabama (he was not).They placed my wife and I on an unstable table, where it was too small and we kept bumping everything off of it anytime we moved. The knife and server we used to cut the cake(that was not the kind we asked for ) was made very cheaply and bent while cutting the cake. The photographer was a great guy but due to the unfortunate events of everything being rushed he was not able to take all the photos as planned. To add insult to injury a member of the staff hit my sisters car with the golf cart and did not mention it to anyone. My friend and several members of my new family witnessed her hit the car. When the staff member was asked about it, she claimed that she thought she had hit a rock. The staff member did give us her insurance information and after the vehicle was looked at the damages added up to be over $4500. The vehicle is currently being repaired. Honestly, I would not recommend this venue to anyone. After all said and done, I wish we could get our money back and do it over again somewhere else. read more

We get the privilege of designing flowers for The Chapel weddings often. The entire team is cool and collected, they know what they are doing and you can tell they love what they do. The chapel venue has indoor our outdoor options and is beautifully located on backside Montesano mountain with a view of the state park. If you are looking for a stress-free, simple and elegant wedding without having to deal with a lot of fuss you have to contact them! Highly recommend! read more

The chapel is an incredible venue. Their staff are some of the most vibrant, energetic, kind, and knowledgeable people. They love what they do and take care of their brides above and beyond. I have worked with them on many weddings and I have experienced the beautiful weddings that they help create and coordinate. You will love Sarah and her whole team. Look no further, this team and their venues are what you should pick for your wedding day! They are the best! read more

Owner was very condescending, constantly reminding us we have to take down everything but she left up the stuff from the previous wedding so we had to take down the other peoples items in the short amount of time we had and decorate with our stuff. Very poorly ran. I would not recommend this place to anyone read more
