Vendor arrival & guidelines

The short answer

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.

If a couple sent you this page: welcome — this is everything you need for a smooth day at The Chapel at Wimberley.

Who's welcome

These outside vendors are welcome on the premises:

  • Photographer
  • Videographer
  • Officiant
  • Coordinator
  • Florist
  • Musician (violinist, guitarist, and the like)

Any other vendor needs prior written approval from the venue — have your couple text us at (830) 402-5690 before the day.

Timing

The couple has the chapel for a private window, generally 1.5 hours or 3.5 hours (their timeline shows how it flows). Vendors arrive when the window opens and depart by the time it closes — load-in, work, and load-out all live inside it. There's no early-access slot, so plan staging accordingly.

Good to know

  • You don't count toward the guest count — vendors are working the ceremony, and you're welcome throughout it.
  • Officiants: a clear acrylic podium is available if you'd like one — no need to arrange it ahead of time. It lives in a storage closet at the chapel; just ask when you arrive and we'll grab it.
  • Musicians: bring your own amplification if you want it. The chapel's built-in system streams from a phone over AirPlay; it isn't a plug-in PA. Full details: chapeltx.com/guide/musician.
  • Florists: decor is ground-level only, nothing attached to the walls, and every install comes back out before the window ends. Full rules: decorating the chapel.
  • Photographers: the chapel is fully enclosed and air-conditioned with an arched window behind the altar; all photos — including grounds — wrap by window close.
  • We do not require a certificate of insurance from you.
