The Chapel at The Morris Estate (formerly Morris Farms) has been providing a breathtaking backdrop for weddings since 1938. E.M.

Although there have been renovations to add modern conveniences, the property's quaint atmosphere and rich heritage will continue to be maintained. The area surrounding The Chapel provides a lovely and convenient location for a reception after the ceremony. Enjoy the peace and beauty of the woodland setting along the riverfront while celebrating with friends and family. Lodging is also available on this historic property at the River House.

The team at the Morris Estate goes above and beyond! They serve each of their couples with excellence. I love being able to photograph at their stunning venue, not only because it's truly a beautiful retreat, but also because working with them is so wonderful. They are kind, considerate, and care about each couple who gets married on the property. I can't wait to continue working with them!
