Skinner Chapel is a lovely but small chapel. Neither bridal party nor guests are permitted to change clothes before or after the ceremony on property as Scarritt Bennett Center does not provide changing rooms for Skinner Chapel weddings. Due to the limited time of the rental and the size of the chapel, decorations and flowers should be limited and discussed in advance, subject to approval by Rich Events.
