We arrived on campus on a Friday morning and parked in the recommended parking lot (from the chapel’s website). We were pleased to find plenty of available parking spots. It was then a pleasant walk across the campus to reach the chapel. The chapel’s stained glass was the highlight and contained lots of blue shades with occasional vibrant reds. The style of the stained glass was fairly modern and would be much easier to see on a sunny day (it was cloudy during our visit). There isn’t all that much to see here, and most visitors will only need less than 10 minutes to see everything.

My parents got married here 46 years ago. Such a beautiful little unknown gem. It is super tiny but has great views and serves as a wonderful place to say your vows.

The wait was very long and the food was bad. It was a wedding party so of course it was slower than it probably ever was.

While the chapel is beautiful for events and nestled in a great part of campus with gorgeous landscaping, I would not call this an attraction. Great venue for small weddings, but not a site worth visiting for no reason.

Are you planning a small intimate wedding in Denton, Texas. If so, The Little Chapel in the Woods should be your choice for location. Located on the campus of Texas Women's University it is small buy extremely cozy. The surrounding grounds also offer multiple ideal locations for saving your day in pictures.

This beautiful chapel is open generous hours. For an historic location, it's nice not to have shortened hours. It feels, instead, like it's open for all who need a moment's solace. My daughter's wedding was held in this chapel 2 years ago. The University (Texas Woman's University) was very helpful and professional in planning our event. But, more importantly, once inside you can feel the spirit of the students and other souls who've come in here with love. Gorgeous and meaningful stained glass windows. Soaring ceiling. It feels much larger inside than it looks from the outside. Beautiful setting under majestic trees = wonderful and quiet picnic spot.

Perhaps I didn't know where I was going (but it's small) and I didn't see much to it. In my opinion it was boring.

My bride of 25 years and I were married in this little chapel and was one of the most wonderful places for a wedding as I can imagine. From the handcrafted wood interior to the incredible stain glassed windows this little church has a palatable warmth and quiet beauty that no larger church can compete with. After 25 years of happy marriage we visited the Little Chapel, just the two of us, and took our places from those many years ago and privately renewed our vows.
My bride and I highly recommend The Little Chapel in the Woods for those that wish for a small, elegant, and intimate wedding.

In this new age of Large wedding venues it's still nice to go to a wedding in this beautiful old chapel. I've only been to two weddings here but they have been my favorites for ambiance.
