  • The Hidden Chapel has been part of Libby for generations. As we start restoring the building, we’re opening it up for small gatherings and events, with a simple, flexible layout and a commercial kitchen that supports meals, classes, and shared tables.

  • The Hidden Chapel is best suited for small to mid-sized gatherings. The indoor space can comfortably host up to 73 guests, depending on layout and event type.

    Outdoor space is currently in development, and additional gathering areas will be shared as they become available.

  • The space is a good fit for:

    • Weddings and elopements

    • Private dinners and celebrations

  • To care for the space and the surrounding neighborhood, the Hidden Chapel hosts a limited number of events each year.

    We ask that all gatherings be planned with respect—for the building, the area around it, and the people who use the space before and after you. Setup and breakdown are part of each event, and details will be discussed during the planning process.

  • The Hidden Chapel is wheelchair accessible. Limited parking is available behind the chapel and can be accessed from the alley, with ample street parking nearby. We ask that guests park with care and be respectful of neighbors by keeping driveways clear.

  • Outside vendors and service providers are welcome, and many events bring in their own caterers, florists, musicians, or instructors.

    We ask that all vendors treat the space with care and follow any basic guidelines shared during planning. If you’re looking for local recommendations, we’re glad to share suggestions when available.
