Beautiful place but a very small chapel. Not a place for a large wedding. Staff not very friendly. Almost felt afraid to do much, as I would be out of line.

The Country Jewell is a great nice a cozy place. Excellent landscaping for pictures including 3 waterfalls. Very well maintained and organized. It was a great venue for our son's a and daughter-in-law's wedding. We were very pleased and highly recommended this place.

Most definitely would recommend to anyone! This place has a beautiful country setting and the Chapel and Barn are side by side so not bad at all to go from wedding to reception! Had mine and my wife's wedding today and everything went so perfectly and the owner did an amazing job to help us thru every step of the way from planning to the special day! Also the prices there are unbeatable!

A beautiful place to have a wedding. Inside was cool and very comfortable. Outside was beautiful. Waterfall and a fish pond. Everything was very clean.
