For Our Couples
Every detail of your ceremony day — searchable, shareable, and short enough to actually read. Each answer has its own link, so send any page to the person who needs it.

One tap opens your assistant with the guide loaded, so you can ask in your own words. It's told to stick to our pages and send you back to us for anything they don't cover.
You may arrive when your window begins to enter the suites and begin setup. Your ceremony must start at least 30 minutes in (it can be later) and everything must be out when your window ends. Here are timelines to reference.
If you would like to rehearse, we've put together resources here including notes and diagrams to make that easy to do offsite at your hotel or Airbnb. Our Experiences do not include a rehearsal in the chapel. On rare occasions, we may be able to schedule a rehearsal onsite for an additional charge but we could only confirm this when it is two weeks or less from your wedding date. More details are below.
Booked couples are always welcome on our free Venue Tours: book any open time, choose the option that says you're already booked, and bring your family, friends, or vendors. For engagement, bridal, or after-the-wedding photos, book a Portrait Session.
Get a Texas marriage license from any county clerk between 90 days and 72 hours before your ceremony, bring it on the day, and your officiant signs it and returns it within 30 days. We don't provide an officiant — a pro or an ordained friend both work.
Your Couple's Portal shows the add-ons you already have and lets you add more after you book. Champagne Toast, Refreshment Cart, White Floral Backdrop, and Livestream for any experience; Sip & Celebrate, Grazing Table Setup, Sparkler Send-Off, Extend Your Celebration, and the Charcuterie Cart for Premier.
The main entrance has a few steps, so there's a separate step-free route: two accessible parking spaces connected to a ramp that reaches the suites, the bathrooms, and the chapel. One bathroom is wheelchair accessible. When you arrive, drive straight ahead to reach the accessible spaces.
Submit your Pre-Wedding Questionnaire two weeks out, and start prepping what to bring. We've got a list to get you started.
We will have chairs set up when you arrive — 48 set by default, and up to 68 (a seat for every guest) if you're doing our Premier Experience and added more guests on your Pre-Wedding Questionnaire. We also have two tables — an entry table and a cake table. They can be used however you would like.
Behind you at the altar: the arched window as it is, our free-standing cross (no charge), the White Floral Backdrop add-on, or — on the Premier Experience — a backdrop of your own. Pick yours in your Pre-Wedding Questionnaire.
We've made food and drinks simple with a few add-ons: a Refreshment Cart stocked with chilled non-alcoholic drinks, a Champagne Toast we chill and pour for you, and on Premier, your own beer and wine with Sip & Celebrate or a cold spread for your guests with Grazing Table Setup. Cake and desserts depend on your experience, and everything is detailed below.
Every couple gets the patio after the ceremony: six high-top cocktail tables, five wood benches, six limestone seats, and a 6' patio table, under shade sails with the Hill Country view. We don't provide linens, but you're welcome to bring your own.
Yes — your pet is welcome in your ceremony. Two rules: on a leash, and with a designated handler who isn't one of you two. Guests' pets stay home; service animals are always allowed.
Ring it whenever you like during your window — though nothing beats ringing it together as you walk out married.
A sendoff is completely optional. If you're heading to a restaurant or other location after, most couples do not do a sendoff at The Chapel. If you do choose to do one, you can do bubbles or wands, or add on our Sparkler Send-Off and we'll provide sparklers.
The chapel has a built-in AirPlay sound system — your phone is prepared ahead of time with your playlists. On the day of your wedding, your phone is then used to control the music and volume, and one trusted person (your music lead) runs the whole ceremony's music (even from their seat). Live musicians bring their own amplification.
You're the music lead: you'll be playing the couple's music for their wedding from an iPhone or iPad. We have a Sonos speaker system you can AirPlay to and then control songs and volume from the device.
Free-standing, ground-level decor is yours to play with — but nothing attaches to the walls or chandeliers, no tape on floors, real candles only inside glass that rises an inch above the flame, your own backdrop only on Premier, and everything you bring leaves by the end of your window.
Entry table 52" × 22", cake table 5' × 30", ceremony table 2' × 18", patio table 6' × 2'. All 30" high.
Search "The Chapel at Wimberley" in Google Maps and it routes you straight to us — 644 Ghost Dancer, about 20 minutes from Wimberley. On-site parking is included, and doors open when your window begins. Ask guests to arrive no earlier than 15 minutes before your ceremony.
Signature and Premier experiences include the suites from the minute your window opens. Arrive camera-ready and use them for final touches — they stay yours all window. The walk to the chapel is 60–80 feet, with a hidden side-door route.
Two private, unisex bathrooms in the Annex, the small building right next to the chapel. One is wheelchair accessible, one has a baby changing table, and both are on the step-free route.
Your ceremony happens inside the chapel no matter what the sky does. If it rains, we set out umbrellas for the short walks, and anything you planned for the patio moves inside.
With the Livestream & Digital Download add-on you get a private watch link to share — live on the day, replay for 90 days, and a Download the Video button to save and cherish your ceremony.
Your photographer is welcome for your whole window — chapel, grounds, and all. Build photo time backward from the close, know the light (arched window inside, late-day Premier outside), and keep drones outdoors.
Photographers, videographers, officiants, coordinators, florists, and musicians are welcome — arriving when the couple's window opens and wrapping before it closes. Vendors never count toward the guest count.
The chapel has fiber internet and WiFi throughout the venue. Everyone joins TCW Guest (no password). Only the phone running the ceremony music joins TCW Music, password chapelmusic.
No topic matches those words — but that doesn't mean no answer.
