| - First of all, I have to say that I am going to be a walking billboard for this venue. My husband and I were married here on November 19th, 2016. Cave Creek Chapel is incredible, and if you are looking for an intimate wedding experience (80 guests or below) this chapel is the place you need to be. Our guests were floored by how gorgeous the chapel was- many of them have lived in Cave Creek for years and had never seen it before; people were buzzing about what a "hidden gem" it was. This sweet chapel needs more community recognition!
THE CHAPEL ITSELF:
I stumbled across this chapel by chance, and I am so thankful that I did! My mom and I happened to drive by one morning after picking up coffee from Cave Creek Coffee Company and were struck by the charming exterior of the building. We hopped out of the car and started poking around the chapel grounds. By some happy chance, we ran into Maggie (the incredible chapel owner) who gave us a tour on the spot. The Cave Creek Chapel is beautiful, simple, and comfortable and after seeing it, I knew that I wanted to get married there! I brought my husband back to visit CCC the following week, and he too fell in love with it. To make things even more magical, we discovered that my husband's grandparents were married in the chapel back when it was a Baptist church many years ago.
For those of you who have not seen the Cave Creek Chapel in person, I encourage you to visit as soon as possible - you will be floored by how beautiful it is; The detailing on the late 1800's pews (that Maggie rescued from a church about to undergo demolition back east), simple stained-glass, and the drop-dead gorgeous view out of the cross window make the chapel stunning.
CUSTOMER SERVICE:
What really makes Cave Creek Chapel sparkle? The girls who run it! Maggie and Tatum are incredible, and work hard to make sure that your wedding dreams will come true; they are truly passionate about what they do, and that passion shines through in their work.
My husband and I are avid hikers and lovers of the outdoors and wanted our wedding ceremony to reflect that, but it was very important to us that we were married in a church...so we brought nature inside! Maggie and Tatum gave us free reign to decorate in the chapel and lent us a hand as we created our woodland wonderland; We brought in Norfolk Pines, flanked the cross window with 1902 Hungarian doors, lined the isle with Persian rugs and Thomas Moran prints, and laid juniper sprigs, vintage insulators, and pinecones at the base of the pews. (NOTE: In order to accomplish our decorating, we chose to tack on three additional hours to our wedding package. I highly recommend reserving additional time if you are going to decorate more extravagantly. If you aren't one for decorating, Maggie and Tatum offer some beautiful and romantic options for decor that you can view on your chapel visit and on their website's gallery).
IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS:
1. Something that really stood out to me was Maggie and Tatum's willingness to be flexible. I happened to mess up on the time I had reserved for my rehearsal and texted Tatum in a panic a couple of days before my rehearsal date. Maggie and Tatum were extremely accommodating and simply moved my time block free of charge!
2. Maggie and Tatum are very responsive, and typically answered any questions that I had within a couple of hours.
3. Maggie and Tatum are calm and collected, and always do their job with a smile!
Thank you, Maggie and Tatum for making our experience so wonderful. Mathew and I are so thankful for your kindness and your passion for your business.
