A note on independence

This site is independent. I don't accept payment for chapel reviews, vendor placements, or ‘best of’ lists. Some links to cabin rentals and wedding services may be affiliate links — if you book through them, I may earn a small commission at no cost to you. Affiliate relationships never influence which chapels or vendors I recommend. Everything here is what I'd tell a friend planning their wedding.
