Very nice place needs a few updates some of the outdoor tables were wobbly some paint needed here and there but all in all would recommend to a engaged couple. The lady who runs it is very helpful goes above and beyond to make sure bride and groom and guest have all they need.

Elaine helped us plan our destination beach wedding. She made sure we enjoyed our week and didn't stress about a thing. The day of.we found out she knows our friend/photographer which somehow made things even more special. She guided every step of our ceremony, gave great advice and was very patient with us as we flip flopped between the beach and the chapel because of rain. I did get my dream wedding in the sand. Thank you Elaine!

We chose to get married at the Gulf Shores Wedding Chapel, and I am so glad we did. Elaine was very helpful in preparing us for the big day; her experience in organizing weddings was very apparent. The chapel is on a beautifully maintained property along side a pond. The photographer was able to take many beautiful pictures there. I would highly recommend considering having your wedding at the Gulf Shores Wedding Chapel.
