In 2015, Sarah began searching for the perfect rustic wedding venue. At the time, there werenโt any in this part of Mississippi. Then she looked at a century-old family hay barn and saw something no one else didโa wedding venue.
She took a chance on a vision that many people couldnโt yet see. Today, that vision has become part of countless love stories.
Cowpen Creek Chapel wasnโt created simply to become a business. It began as a place where family and friends were always welcome. Whether it was a holiday, a cookout, or simply an afternoon spent together, Sarah found joy in bringing people together. Transforming the property into a wedding venue wasnโt just a business ideaโit was a natural extension of who she was.
Walking through the venue is a reminder of just how much of Sarah is still here. Not just in the building, but in the countless thoughtful details that many guests may never realize began with her.
Her handwriting still welcomes brides in the bridal suite. The chairs she found, recovered, and gave new life to are still being used. One of the venueโs most complimented light fixtures began as her great-grandparentsโ twin-size box spring. Sarah had a gift for seeing beauty and possibility in things others had forgotten. She even began saving a koozie from each wedding and hanging it in the groomโs suite because she believed every couple who celebrated here became part of the venueโs story.
Today, every ceremony overlooking the water, every first dance beneath the stars, every family gathered around the fire pit, and every celebration shared on this property is a reminder that her dream is still alive.
Although Sarahโs life was far too short, the dream she started continues to grow. She is deeply loved, greatly missed, and remembered every day through the place she imagined and the memories still being made here.

Nearly twelve years later, couples continue saying โI doโ in a place that exists because one woman looked at an old barn and believed it could become something extraordinary. ๐๐๐ซ ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ฒ๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ, ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ฎ๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฐ with every โI do,โ every family celebration, every joyful laugh that echoes through the barn, and every memory made at Cowpen Creek Chapel. ๐ค
