This new river valley local pastor is so very professional and articulate. He works with each couple individually and with great care to create a ceremony that really speaks to their specific relationship. He is versitile and has done casual jean and tee back yard weddings and large elegant chapel occasions and seems equally in place at each.

Best Wishes Floral and Gift in Blacksburg were wonderful to work with. Everyone was so very helpful and the selection was wonderful. The floral arrangements, boquets, corsages, boutonniers, and center pieces were exactly as requested and everything was fresh and georgeous. The price was quite good. We use them now for all of our special occasions and flower sending needs.

A magestic chapel with elegant statues extending from the walls make for a magical look. Add candleabras to either side and a bride and groom center stage and you have a true fairy tale. My best friend, a Virginia Tech Alum, was walked down the long isle past a 260 guest full house. The site was unforgetable. Not only is the chapel beautiful, but for those who have a history at Virginia Tech this makes for a very meaningful choice. The chapel is only available to those who have an affiliation with Virginia Tech University such as students, alumni, and staff. It is important to schedule well ahead of time because the chapel is very popular. Services are held on Sundays so this venue is not available on on Sundays. The chapel is also unavailable on holidays and during VT football games. Rentals of candle holders, candleabras, bows, and such are available through the university. The university has been kind enough to make available online a wedding resource and referal guide which makes planning easier.
