Why Pretty Place at Camp Greenville is the ultimate wedding venue 🕊

Hi, GVL. Kayla here, 6AM Branded Content Creator. Like a lot of people, I spent my high school summers working as a camp counselor. In my case, it was at a YMCA day camp in central New Jersey. I have warm memories of that place, but I have to admit: YMCA Camp Greenville puts it to shame. Why? The Pretty Place Chapel, for one. (If I hadn’t already gotten married, I would 100% be making a reservation here.)

A little history: The Fred W. Symmes Chapel was constructed in 1941 + got the name Pretty Place due to its spectacular views. Camp Greenville welcomes visitors to use the chapel, except for when it’s booked for events – like weddings.

Reason #1: This view, though.

The force is strong with this view.

Reason #2: Keepsake portraits like these.

It’s fine. This is casual.

I’m not crying. You’re crying.

Reason #3: It’s a showcase for the Upstate outdoors.
