About this venue
As you walk into the Little Chapel in-the-Woods you are entering into a tradition. Located on the edge of Texas Woman’s University, the chapel is a secluded sanctuary that has held weddings since September 1939, a few months before its dedication by Eleanor Roosevelt. We have two beautiful ballrooms to host the wedding reception of your dreams! The Chapel attendant is present to set up the chapel for the wedding, set up the sound system and instruct your vendors on usage, and to oversee the facility. They will be happy to provide limited guidance and answer any questions you may have about the rehearsal or processional. If you desire full-scale coordination you are welcome to provide a planner or even a friend with experience to manage the flow of your wedding ceremony.

Dream wedding
Ever since I attended TWU over ten years ago, I dreamed of having my wedding in the chapel. The reality was even better than the dream! All the staff were so accommodating with all my questions and were absolute angels from booking to the day-of. Thank you so much for making sure our day was absolutely perfect!
