up or they use an angle that makes
the thing look really good, and then
when you get to that place you’re
like: ‘Oh, wow, it looked a lot differ-
ent or better in the pictures!’ We
hear, ‘The pictures got me here, but
they don’t do it justice.’ It’s a great
compliment.”
The event venue will accom-
modate 300 guests and is another
splendid example of thoughtful
architectural design. It blends many
elements, from reclaimed barn wood
to old world stucco and corrugated

rock walk-around fireplace. Like the
chapel, the event venue offers open-

guesthouse on the property.
The Heflins also found some local
roots they’d not known about. Heflin
said her late mother-in-law told them
that her father pastored Northside
Baptist Church in Weatherford for a
time.
The Weatherford area appealed
to the Heflins because it is a growth
market.
“We’ve only been here a little bit
more than four years — it will be five
in January — but we have really seen
lots of growth since we’ve gotten
