As you walk into the Little Chapel in-the-Woods you are entering into a tradition. Located on the edge of Texas Woman’s University, the chapel is a secluded sanctuary that has held weddings since September 1939, a few months before its dedication by Eleanor Roosevelt. We have two beautiful ballrooms to host the wedding reception of your dreams! The Chapel attendant is present to set up the chapel for the wedding, set up the sound system and instruct your vendors on usage, and to oversee the facility. They will be happy to provide limited guidance and answer any questions you may have about the rehearsal or processional. If you desire full-scale coordination you are welcome to provide a planner or even a friend with experience to manage the flow of your wedding ceremony.

A dazzling chandelier is the shining jewel right as you step in the doorway. Fall in love all over again with our gorgeous views and endless Texas sunsets. An inviting reception area depicts both an elegant and modern feel with beautiful rustic accents accommodating both large and intimate gatherings for a true "dream come true" experience. Spacious bridal & groom suites pamper guests in luxurious accommodations. State-of-the-art amenities thoughtfully fill the entire space. Sit back and unwind a bit on one of our expansive covered porches. The Hidden Jewel is nestled on a 300 acre working cattle and hay farm in Collin County, just 20 minutes north east of McKinney. We offer something for everyone from Standard Rental to All-Inclusive or services in between. Just let us know what you are looking for and we will gladly help you create a one-of-a-kind evening based around your needs.
