Weather & rain backup plan

The short answer

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.

The chapel is fully enclosed, so rain never interrupts a ceremony here. Weather can change the walk in and what happens on the patio afterward — not the part that matters. Here's what we do.

Your ceremony goes on as planned

The chapel is fully enclosed with air conditioning and heat. Rain, wind, or a cold snap outside doesn't change a thing about your ceremony: same room, same start time, same aisle.

Umbrellas for the short walks

When rain is in the forecast, our team sets out a basket of umbrellas inside the chapel. Use them for the walk between the chapel and the bathrooms or the getting-ready suites.

Your patio plans move inside

Anything you were planning for the patio after the ceremony — the toast, cake, mingling with your guests — can happen inside the chapel instead. We designed the chapel with chairs instead of pews so it's easy to rearrange the space if needed to do everything inside.

Common questions

Do you have patio heaters?

No. When it's cold, we move everything inside the chapel, which is heated, rather than trying to warm the patio.

Can we set up a tent outside?

No, tents that are big enough and can handle inclement weather are expensive and very involved to set up. Being on the hilltop can sometimes bring heavier winds that make setting up a tent impractical.

Does the road ever become impassable?

No. The chapel sits at the top of a ridge, so even in a hard rain the water sheds off and access isn't affected at all. The last stretch is a Hill Country dirt road in any weather — see directions & arrival.
