If you're looking for a place to hold a truly intimate and unique wedding ceremony, look no further than the Pilgrim Chapel. There is something so special about this place. It's hard to find words to describe it. At the Pilgrim Chapel, you'll b...
e guided through the whole process by Rocio, Amelia and Vern, all of whom are truly amazing!! Rocio especially walked us through every single minute of the day with absolute expertise, patience and genuine kindness. I can tell you that the day would not have been perfect without her help ... and perfect it was! Vern was a delight. His delivery of the opening remarks/exchanging of the vows/pronouncement were unique and touching. Nearly all of our guests were blown away by this place, and you will be too!
