Venue 272 hosts weddings, rehearsal dinners, showers, business meetings, holiday parties and banquets for up to 200 guests across a ceremony and reception. The building is a restored community chapel at 112 Muddy Creek Church Road, near Denver and Adamstown in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It previously operated as Amazing Grace Chapel Venue.
Seminars and company events
Companies book the chapel for business meetings, corporate events, banquets and holiday parties. The upper-level Grace Room can be set for a meeting or a seated meal, with the Social Room alongside for breaks or a buffet, and the lower level available as a lounge or a breakout space. A portable sound system covers announcements and background music. Presentation equipment should be discussed when planning the layout, as the site does not describe a projector or screen. Tables and chairs from the venue's inventory come with the rental.
Weddings and receptions
The chapel serves for wedding ceremonies, receptions, rehearsal dinners, and bridal and baby showers, as well as birthdays and anniversaries. Ceremony and reception together can take up to 200 guests with flexible layouts, and the outdoor lawn is used for ceremonies and gatherings outside. A ceremony rental usually includes one hour of rehearsal time, and more can be arranged. Most couples bring their own DJ or sound system for dancing.
Rooms and capacities
The Grace Room, the former chapel on the upper level, seats up to 130 guests; one page gives 125, and the final figure depends on the dance floor, buffet and band setup. It connects to the Social Room, which seats 30 more or holds a buffet, and to an outdoor patio used for cocktails and photographs. The lower level, called the Hearth Room or Historic Hideaway, has a fireplace and a full bar and suits about 30 seated guests or a lounge alongside an event upstairs. The venue supplies 182 white chairs, 22 round tables, 12 high-top tables and 16 banquet tables. Linens are not included.
Catering
There is no in-house catering. The venue gives a list of local caterers who know the building, and clients may also bring their own caterer or prepare food themselves. A larger kitchen downstairs serves caterers, and an upstairs kitchenette handles preparation for the main floor. Clients may supply alcohol for their event, served by a licensed and insured bartending service they hire; guests may not bring their own.
History and setting
The chapel dates from 1901, according to the venue, and has been restored for events. It is a brick and wood building with a sloped roof and an access ramp, set in the farmland of northern Lancaster County. Two cornhole sets are on hand for the lawn.
Getting there
The venue lies on Muddy Creek Church Road in the Denver and Adamstown area, close to the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Lancaster and Reading are both within a short drive, and guests generally arrive by car.
