The Makings of a Beautiful Occasion!

Picking a wonderful wedding venue is one of the most crucial parts of the whole planning process because it sets the tone for the rest of the celebration. At Chimes and Occasions located at 201 South Cooper, owner Madeline provides a beautiful, simple yet sophisticated backdrop for brides to realize their unique wedding vision.  The property itself is made up of two buildings.  The first, a beautifully constructed chapel exudes a sense of old world elegance.  Its antique pews and beautiful details comfortably accommodate 125 guests.  Madeline says, “When we renovated this structure I wanted to make sure each element of it would photograph beautifully.”  From the 15 foot ceilings to the magnificent antique doors salvaged from the oldest home in Collierville to the beautifully appointed bridal dressing room this goal is definitely accomplished.   Each aspect of the chapel provides a wonderful backdrop for vows.  Furthermore, it has a number of beautiful decorations already on hand for no additional cost.  However, brides are also welcome to bring their personal touch with their own décor.   

The other structure on sight serves as an equally beautiful spot to host a reception. With hard wood floors and a charming patio, this space coordinates wonderfully with the elegance of the chapel, providing an easy transition from ceremony to reception or can be rented separately, if a couple prefers to exchange vows in their own home church.  Like the chapel, the reception hall provides a number of items such as chairs and linens at no additional cost, leaving it up to the couple to decide whether or not to incorporate them.   In addition, while Chimes and Occasions does not offer its own catering, they do have a full service kitchen.  They are more than happy to recommend excellent caterers but also encourage couples to arrange whatever food they want including home cooked dishes.  All in all Madeline says “I want people to truly feel at home here and to do whatever they like to have a great wedding.  If they can think it I’ll do my best to help them achieve it!”  So for a convenient, beautiful wedding spot you can truly make your own Chimes and Occasions is certainly something to “chime” about!
