The elegant alternative to the Courthouse. Exclusively for small intimate wedding ceremonies
I have come to realize that there
are so many Brides & Grooms who dream of a simpler wedding than most of the local venues are willing to accommodate. Perhaps, they would just like a few guests to be in attendance, or maybe they would rather have a private ceremony with just the two of them. Until now, there has not been an acceptable place for them to go, since most sites will charge a rental or site fee, as well as making them guarantee an exorbitant number of guests,
when all they ever wanted was a small wedding.
Ceremonies are available 7 days a week including Holidays.

Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
September, 2010
What is your primary product or service?
Wedding Ceremonies
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I was the General Manager of Paul's on the South River for 25 years. The restaurant was sold in December of 2009. Having orchestrated thousands of weddings over the years, I knew there was a need for a small intimate facility for Brides and Grooms to be married, other than the Courthouse.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
I believe the Annapolis Wedding Chapel is the first of it's kind in the Annapolis Area. Ceremonies are available in the Chapel or in the Gardens under the Pergola.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
Since this is a first for Annapolis, I have to wait and see how the Chapel is received by the Brides & Grooms.
