Blending historic charm with modern elegance, our space is perfect for hosting weddings, special events, concerts, and celebrations. We also provide regular church services, continuing our tradition of serving the community.
Magnolia Hill Chapel & Events has a deep history, with its origins back to 1780. Originally called Doub's United Methodist Chapel, this historic structure was relocated to its current site in 1909 and functioned as a place of worship for decades. Today, the chapel has been meticulously renovated, preserving its vintage charm while incorporating modern amenities. Magnolia Hill remains a house of worship with stunning architecture and an intimate ambiance. Weddings can be hosted in the chapel, outdoors, or in our elegant reception hall, offering versatile options for any occasion. Celebrate your special day in the serene Magnolia Hill Chapel, which can comfortably accommodate up to 150 guests. Enjoy the convenience of separate wedding suites located downstairs and upstairs. For a truly memorable ceremony, chairs can be arranged outside the chapel to take advantage of the peaceful surroundings.

- Natalie CalvanoExecutive Director"For more than 30 years, I applied my talents as the Owner and Artistic Director of The Ballet & Performing Arts Centre. During the last decade, I further honed my skills in interior design, combining my creativity and precision in both ballet productions and home design. In 2022, I embarked on a new journey by selling the business to follow my passion for owning a church and hosting wedding events. Drawn to a beautiful historic venue, I embraced this opportunity, where my leadership, design acumen, and attention to detail have seamlessly aligned with my new career."
- Michael CalvanoDirectorNatalie and her husband, Michael, share a deep commitment to preserving a space for the community to gather in worship, while also introducing special services for holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. Their mutual love for this picturesque property sparked the start of this exciting new chapter, and they are excited to begin hosting Sunday worship at the chapel in early fall 2024. Michael serves as a managing director.
