The Yosemite Chapel in Yosemite National Park is a beautiful place for contemplation-and it's also great for getting hitched. The 132-year old chapel is available for wedding rentals and is one of the most sought out, affordable wedding options in the Sierra Nevadas. Set to the backdrop of dramatic, sheer granite mountains, the brick red, steepled chapel seats no more than 125 people and is known for its simple grace.

Brides & grooms don't pick this place if they are high demand in their needs for the perfect wedding. The Yosemite Chapel is for those who love nature and perhaps, even history. Built in 1879, the chapel has hosted thousands of weddings during its time. If you want to check it out, you can read about this California landmark in the Yosemite Valley at yosemitevalleychapel.org.
