At Wildwood Chapel & Event Venue, we understand that couples are looking for more than just a place to host their reception. You’re searching for a venue that not only fits your needs but also complements your vision for a memorable celebration. That's why our outdoor reception spaces are designed to create an elegant and relaxed atmosphere, all set against the natural beauty of the Mount Magazine region.
Why Our Outdoor Reception Spaces Are Ideal for Your Celebration
When you choose Wildwood Chapel for your reception, you’re selecting a space that blends the charm of our beautiful estate with the elegance of the natural surroundings. Our venue offers the flexibility of two unique outdoor areas: the pondside arbor and two flagstone patios. Each one provides a lovely backdrop for your event, hosting a formal reception or a relaxed celebration with friends and family.
Both the pondside arbor and patios can accommodate up to 140 guests, giving you plenty of space to invite your closest loved ones to enjoy the day with you. The 20+ acres of property allow your guests to move comfortably, and the panoramic valley views from Mount Magazine State Park create a peaceful setting that will be remembered by everyone.

What’s Included with Your Outdoor Reception
At Wildwood Chapel, we make sure you have everything you need to feel at ease as you plan your reception. We provide a range of amenities to make your celebration flow smoothly. Our venue includes a bar for both indoor and outdoor spaces, giving you flexibility depending on the weather. Plus, our Bluetooth sound system makes it easy to play music that will set the tone for the evening.
Another great feature is the option to bring your own food. Want to serve finger foods, cultural cuisine, or even pizza? We encourage you to personalize your menu to fit your taste. Our on-site kitchen is equipped with everything you need, including a refrigerator, stove, and coffee and tea makers, so you can ensure your guests feel taken care of throughout the event.
Flexible Reception Locations to Suit Your Style
While we offer a beautiful pondside arbor and flagstone patios for your reception, we also understand that you may want to host your celebration in a different part of our property. With unlimited outdoor guest capacity at Wildwood Estate, you have the freedom to create the perfect setup for your reception. Prefer an intimate gathering or a larger outdoor event? The possibilities are endless.
As a bonus, our proximity to Mount Magazine State Park gives you fantastic photo opportunities. The scenic overlooks are just minutes away, making it easy for your photographer to capture incredible moments as you celebrate with loved ones.
