Our Story

Where History Meets Celebration

Originally built circa 1882 by local residents, The Chapel at Dragonfly Farms — then known as Broomfield Church — has served as a community center, place of worship, and schoolhouse. The Cottage was built circa 1923 and hosted interim pastors.

Re-established as a wedding and special events venue, The Chapel preserves the soul of its origins — original floors, walls, two standing columns, and hand-hewn wood trim throughout — now crowned with a gleaming copper roof that catches the Ozark light.

Anchoring the rich and luscious Ozark National Forest, this picturesque venue is surrounded by dreamy views of the nearby mountains, foliage, and wildlife. It's not uncommon for wild deer to wander through the fields as vows are exchanged.

Our ownership and restoration began in 2017, and it has been a true labour of love. We believe every couple deserves an extraordinary experience, and we offer packages to fit every vision and every budget.

When we first started looking for a wedding venue, I fell in love with just pictures of this place! Ben was a dream to work with and covered every detail of wedding planning from beginning to end. It was the PERFECT day, everything was immaculate, and every aspect was so tasteful and beautiful. Everything went so smoothly, they think of literally everything!

— Rebecca Davis, Bride
★★★★★

The first time I saw the red door I was in love. Ben helped us coordinate our all-inclusive wedding from 1,300 miles away and his passion for what he does was evident in every little detail. The venue is gorgeous and was the perfect place for our family and friends to gather. I can’t sing enough praises.

— Emily Sparks, Bride
★★★★★

They truly exceeded all of our expectations and made our wedding day better than we could have ever dreamed! Benjamin was amazing to work with and made planning everything a breeze. We never had to worry or stress about anything. Our guests couldn’t stop telling us how it was one of the most beautiful venues they had ever been to.

— Mardi Rodgers, Bride
★★★★★

They made our wedding magical. The staff and venue are outstanding in every way. My wife and I were able to focus on enjoying our wedding because Ben, his mom, and the other staff were so detail oriented. Worth every penny. I would give 100 stars if it had the option, 5 is not enough.

— Jordan Hardgrave, Groom
★★★★★

The venue is exquisitely beautiful, down to the last detail. You all have a grace and kindness, a sense for what is needed both professionally and emotionally. We could not have chosen a venue and a group of people more prepared, more involved from the start. Words will never describe my gratitude.

— Liz Schrock, Mother of the Bride
★★★★★

My daughter’s wedding was beyond all my expectations. It was the most beautiful wedding I’ve been to. Everything was exquisite! I cannot thank you enough. We had an amazing time. Absolutely perfect!
