A new Intimate Wedding Chapel is carving a niche in Clarkston.
Intimate Chapel owner Polly Clements, 45, said she opened the business to provide a more relaxed atmosphere on a very special day. She will cater to couples who do not wish to be hurried through the wedding ceremony.
‘Other chapels do not allow enough time for a relaxed ceremony,? said Clements.
Clements has 30 years of experience in the wedding industry. She started by making wedding cakes, but has driven limousines, provided entertainment, taken photographs, officiated and worked both as an event planner and a wedding planner.
‘She has done everything except run for congress,? said daughter Elizabeth Horn, 19.
The bride and groom may choose from an inside wedding in the cozy chapel that holds up to 50 guests or an outside wedding in a gazebo. There is a unique entry way into the chapel with lion sentinels and a half moon canopy where the couple may also choose to marry.
The hallway into the chapel contains a hand painted mural that depicts the Clarkston area.
The bride and groom will have access to the chapel for three hours with weekday rehearsals available. The couple may choose from a candlelight ceremony or a rose ceremony. Officiates are from Rose Ministries.
Clements opened her new business with a grand opening on July 17 and provided guests with gifts, punch and cookies.
Intimate Wedding Chapel is located at 5710 Belle Rose Blvd., across from Pine Knob. The office is open from 7-11 Monday through Thursday and Fridays 4-11.
‘Weekends are reserved for weddings,? said Clements.
