On April 10th my sister and my brother in law got happily married at the court house. After the happy marriage ceremony we were planning on having the group of 8 including the newly weds to this location cause we were highly reccomended to take beautiful photos inside the church for this joyous day. Before we went there we made sure we were arriving at the proper times during visiting hours to the PUBLIC, checking their website, Facebook, everything. There was no mention of any events happening so we went during the public hours and arrived around 2:30. The venue was vacant with no one there and the doors were open. We went inside and started taking beautiful photos of all of us to remember this beautiful day until around 3pm. The director of the memorial chapel came in before 3pm and was at first, super sweet complienting the newly weds as she asked us if we were a part of the upcoming rehearsal as we said multiple times that we were not and just taking photos during the posted public hours.Her true personality appeared and started yelling at all of us to leave and demand that we donate something to the chapel, calling my sister that she is a horrible human being and is selfish to make the 'other bride' wait on her SOON TO BE special day as well as told us that we should've reserved time to do a simple photoshoot while during the posted public hours.Not only did she insult my sister but assaulted my own mother and grandmother as she was shoving us out of the chapel. My father personally apologized to the other father of the bride for the confusion and disturbing their event as we did not know it was happening and the family was ever so understanding as well as congratulated our family's newly weds for their very special day.All in all, the location was absolutely breath taking! Highly reccomend checking it out if you are ever in the area. But the woman that is in charge of the facility is the most cruel, two-faced slithering snake that should not have the privilege of this job.The woman in this photo is the woman you should be warned of.

The manager is the most venomous vile human beings I have come across in some time. We were there after our daughter and son in law had just been married. We went during the open hours. There was no sign alerting us that it was closed for any special events and we were the only ones there. We even went to the FB page to check the hours. We were in the area and wanted to get some pictures. They were closing at 3. We got there at 2:35. We were walking out by 3pm. The manager came up to us and proceeded to yell and tell my daughter that she was an awful person for making a bride wait, she verbally accosted her. As we were walking to the front door, she grabbed my arm and yelled at us to leave that we were trespassing! We literally have time stamps proving it. She was yelling at us as we were gathering our stuff and she even had grabbed my elderly mother and shoved her!! To not make matters worse for my daughter who was crying at this point, we left as quickly as we could. Never thought I would see the day that a beautiful quick moment for some pictures would result in us getting tossed out of a church!! If that is what a church is all about, I can see why Christianity is taking such a hit.

My daughter, dressed in white, and my new son-in-law, having just tied the knot went to this beautiful, open to the public, chapel to take some wedding photos with the family. Prior to arrival, we checked their website and Facebook to see the operating hours (900am – 300pm) on this day. We arrived to find no one there and the door unlocked. Excited to have the place to ourselves, the eight of us went in and started taking pictures. This was at 2:30pm. Eventually, the manager arrived and was very friendly. She asked if we were part of the “rehearsal”, to which we said, “no”. She smiled, said nothing, and we continued our photo shoot. Just before 3:00pm, we finished our photos and thanked her for us being there. In that moment her personality flipped a switch. She instantly began chastising us, verbally threatened us, and physically assaulted (forcibly grabbed) my wife and my elderly mother. She verbally accosted my freshly married daughter, exclaiming how she was a horrible human being and that she should be ashamed of herself for making the “other bride” wait.She demanded that we exit immediately and said that we were trespassing. Not before, exclaiming we leave a donation! We gathered our belonging and left while exchanging words, requesting her name, which she refused to provide, to find a handful of individuals dressed casually outside. We apologized to the folks outside, hoping to not have inconvenienced them, to which the father of the bride to be, expressed kindness and understanding, and stated there was no inconvenience and that they had just arrived.Regarding the chapel itself…gorgeous! Truly a beautiful location that I’m glad the public has access to. Highly recommend you take in the sites. The manager on the other hand, absolutely vile! A hateful human being that needs counseling and jail time.

Located a bit north of Van Buren, Arkansas. Such a peaceful setting. When you enter, you feel at peace, and there is no admission charge.

What a gorgeous worship building!! We visited with our family on Easter morning and it was an amazing experience! The windows are so clean that you can’t even tell there is glass. The setting is also gorgeous and very peaceful.
