Chapel Dulcinea

modating without ever “breathing down your neck.” The view is one that is hard to compete with as well. It was like a dream. We got married at 7 pm and the pictures we took right before and after are breathtaking. So much so that someone asked if our photos were photoshopped like that. (We toured the chapel at noon the day of our wedding and the views were just as pretty though! It was was my in-laws first time in the hill country and their reaction to the view was so wholesome. Pictures can’t really do it justice.) We rented chairs and to my surprise, they were set up for us well before the ceremony. We decided to have our “first dance” at the chapel after everyone left to drive over for our reception dinner, and the staff member took the chairs while making sure that we knew she wasn’t rushing us out! I wish we could get married there every single year. Our deepest, most sincere thanks to the staff at Chapel Dulcinea for making our day so special and stress-free!

e we got married in the summer, we chose the earliest time slot so it wouldn't be too hot and it worked out perfectly.

everyone we worked with was friendly and attentive to us and our guests.

eady is!! It's the perfect venue for anyone else wanting to get married outside while nature shines upon you.

ong at all. Also, the live video stream was the best because I had family from MX who weren’t able to attend & they were able to watch from home. I would recommend this chapel to anyone who likes smaller weddings and enjoys the outdoors.

ally happened it was everything we imagined. Our wedding day was perfect!!! Literally a few weeks before the COVID pandemic state shut down having this small intimate wedding was worth it! Can’t wait to go back and visit!

to host Our Wedding!!!

wedding photos. The Bride and Groom suites were perfect for getting ready in, and the chapel on the hill was the best spot to be married to my love. Also, the pavilion next to the chapel was perfect for cocktail hour while we took our photos. The staff were all incredibly kind, helpful and accommodating. If you're looking for an intimate, affordable, and beautiful place to get married, this is it!

he same day of our wedding. To my surprise, I didn't see my or fiancé name in our scheduled time slot and began to panic when I saw another couple's name booked for July 31, 7-8:30 PM where our names were just a few months prior. I double-checked our confirmation email to make sure I hadn't booked the wrong date and also checked my credit card to make sure that our deposit had been paid - everything cleared out. We had booked in February, made travel arrangements, and all of our vendors and guests were confirmed. My fiancé and I were flying from CA to TX in just a few days and realized that the there was now a chance that we no longer had a wedding venue. But I thought, "it must be a mistake and I have a confirmation email from the Chapel anyway."   The next morning, I was able to get a hold of The Chapel and they claimed that we had canceled our reservation on 6/20. Huh? I explained that I had a confirmation email and proof of payment and they brushed my fiancé and I off and said "they didn't know what happened and couldn't do anything because another couple was already booked." They offered to give us a time slot at 1pm, 9pm (what a joke), or move our ceremony to another day. Do they not understand how weddings work? We had signed contracts with all of our vendors and WE WERE NOW SCRAMBLING TO FIND A NEW VENUE LESS THAN 2 WEEKS BEFORE OUR WEDDING.  The next day, we called again to see if they had notified the other couple and they refused (it's better to just screw over one couple instead of 2?) and also explained that they were able to figure out what happened - another couple had called their office on 6/20 to cancel their reservation and instead of canceling their reservation, they accidentally canceled our date instead. Again, we were given another cold "sorry" with a "too bad so sad" attitude. They said that they would have a "meeting with their staff to discuss the mistake" and asked for our email and phone number - but we never heard from them again.  It was excruciating having to find a new venue (in less than 2 weeks), amend agreements with all of our vendors (some which required last minute change fees), communicate and coordinate the changes to our guests, and pay the new venue the extra fees for last minute reservations and rentals. Can you imagine if I would have never checked the website and if my fiancé, guests, vendors, and I would have just shown up on the day of only to see a whole other wedding in session? Today, we are looking to pursue legal action to recover money lost for last minute reservation fees and late change fees we had to make to vendors and having to book a new venue just a few days before our wedding. Chapel Dulcinea turned our special day into a logistical nightmare. Please learn from our experience and do not put your trust in the staff at the Chapel. They will have you worrying until the very last minute if they have their act together. The Chapel does not care about your "special day" and function solely as a vendor to keep money flowing in through rentals and hoping that couples donate their deposits.  Find and give your money to another venue that will give you peace of mind.

Dulcinea. Do it! Time slotted is plenty

e. Ringing the bell was my favorite part and almost a year later I still find myself obsessing over our wedding photos.

s a total of 25 people, and the views are stunning!!!

to be stunning! Highly recommend this venue.

xtremely important to us. Check-in for our reservation was easy and everybody was extremely friendly!

r weeding day. You can literally feel a sense of being and love in the air!

truly was stress free. My florist had 30 minutes to set up and we had an hour for the ceremony and pictures which was plenty. Our guest list became much smaller but we were all able to gather. It was raining, but since this was covered it turned out perfectly! Oh, and definitely do the gas lanterns! Couldn't recommend enough.

sional and thought of every detail to make the wedding run smoothly. Doug Anthony was our musician and played lovely music for our beautiful ceremony in May 2017.

perfect pictures!! I went through their page as well for my reception and officiant and I highly recommend doing this. Everything was so fairly priced with out having to compromise on our dream wedding.

I can’t believe this chapel is free! I still get butterflies whenever I see pics of the chapel 🥰

y recommend this venue for an intimate outdoor wedding paradise!

dding venue that’s budget friendly

to come together for our wedding. The time does go quick but any amount of time would go quick on your wedding day I imagine!

ce providers. Thanks Brianna for walking us through everything and making us feel much more comfortable rescheduling everything during the pandemic. Seeing a gentleman in mask and gloves cleaning the bathrooms made our parents feel safe. Great experience all around.

eceive you, they took our down payment which on the website states it as a “donation,” and only partially refunded us. We had to cancel due to Covid-19 which is not in our control and all Brittney had to say was “we did the best we could, hope you have a great evening.” I do not recommend any place that cheats people out of their wedding plans and has nothing to say about other than “have a great night.”

, we didn't even need decorations, just the sunset. Ringing the bell at the end of our ceremony to signify our marriage was really special. The payment/donation was all done online, which was great for us since we are in North Austin. We were able to view the chapel and the surrounding area during one of their weekends since it is open for touring (when a wedding is not currently happening).

after the ceremony. We rented a table to have refreshments while they waited for pictures to be done. The chairs we rented for the ceremony were put up when we got there. It was nice to not have to worry about setting anything up. We rented deck space from Fang & Feather to have a small reception. It worked out wonderful because the guests were able to relax and enjoy the scenery. We heard so many great things afterwards from our friends and family that attended. The majority said that it was the best wedding they had been to because the venue was so nice. The staff was very helpful and polite throughout the process and made it smooth. I didn't have to worry about anything. Everything turned out more perfect than we imagined. I would recommend this venue one hundred times over!

ing and emails were responded to within minutes. The veranda room is perfect for a small gathering. The staff was helpful setting up and respected our space during the wedding but was not far away if I had questions. Our officiant Minister Sherry Khalil was so kind and patient with us, we absolutely recommend her to anyone getting married.
