The view: a south-facing glass wall over the hilltop

Instead of a wall of décor, your backdrop is the treeline. The floor-to-ceiling glass wall behind the stage faces south, so daylight fills the room and your guests look straight past you to the hills. A wooden cross stands at the center of the stage. Keep it, or have it removed for a floral arch, sheer drapes or your own backdrop. Overhead, string lights, a globe chandelier and ceiling fans finish the look, and uplighting along the stage edge adds a warm glow in the evening.

Covered Chapel pricing

The Covered Chapel is $800 when added to a Stone Crest day rental.

Chair setup

Give us 48 hours notice and we’ll have the chairs set to your party size. If it’s a day-of decision, moving chairs in or out is a group effort with the people you have responsible for it.

Staying comfortable in Texas weather

The chapel has its own 10-ton AC and heat unit. We’ll be honest: with that much glass, on the hottest days (95°F and above) it stays in the 80s inside. Ceiling fans and dehumidifiers make it feel much nicer than outdoors, and you keep the view that makes the chapel special.

Ceremony or cocktail hour

Use the Covered Chapel for your ceremony or for cocktail hour.
