It's the most memorable day of your life - why trust it to just anyone? Since opening in August, 2001, we have worked with hundreds of couples to create their dream wedding day and a lifetime of memories........Chapel In the Pines is a log structure located among tall pine trees on a country road just five minutes from I-55. We are 30 minutes south of Memphis and east of the Tunica casinos. In addition to the Chapel, which will comfortably seat 80, we offer a beautiful outdoor Cathedral where we can accomodate up to 120 guests. Either location is also ideal for small intimate ceremonies. For price information, scroll down this page.

Chapel In the Pines offers: full service and affordable wedding/reception packages, on-site Officiant, Photographer and experienced Wedding Coordinator to walk you through every step of planning, rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, and many more services to make planning your wedding as simple and enjoyable for you as possible. Although we have advertised on TV-5, at local bridal shows and in all area newspapers and telephone directories, the majority of our business continues to come from word of mouth. That tells us that we are doing a good job of providing exceptional services at affordable prices.
I look forward to meeting you.

***************************************************************
When we built the Chapel in 2001, I was an active Nu Skin distributor. I put that business aside to concentrate on the chapel business but continued using the products and purchasing for a few friends. Early this spring, I decided to get busy with Nu Skin again. Nu Skin is the leading skin care company in the world focusing on anti-aging products, both skin care and nutritional products. Because their focus is on treating and eliminating the signs of aging, Nu Skin is on the verge of a business boom! Global sales in the anti-aging market are expected to rise from $115 billion in 2010 to $291.5 billion by 2015. As baby boomers reach retirement and their children reach their 40's, the anti-aging product market will explode. The southeastern market for this product line is wide open. If you are interested in a part-time job that is both fun and provides an unlimited source of income, with an unbelieveably low-priced buy in, please contact me.
Please take a look at my website, http://lorettalucius.nsedreams.com to learn more about the products and the company. The Galvanic Spa and AgeLOC technology have recently been featured on both NBC and CBS tv as well as in many fashion/beauty magazines. If you are interested in experiencing the products first hand, let me know.
