We invite our guests to help us celebrate with joy in colorful cocktail attire. The chapel is an air conditioned building suitable for summer heat or rain.
Marjorie Powell Allen Chapel sits within the heart of Powell Gardens. Follow the signs form the entrance for "ceremony" and park near chapel. You can park in any mowed grass and along the road. A golf cart shuttle will be running from this location if you wish not to walk. If you plan to walk the gardens from the front, please plan for a little extra time (4pm is just fine). All guests have access to all areas of Powell Gardens free of charge from open to close. If you wish to enjoy the gardens before our wedding or during cocktail hour, the paths from the chapel to the gardens are paved but the grounds are expansive. You may wish to bring both walking and dancing shoes.
