Fred W. Symmes Chapel aka “Pretty Place”

The Fred W. Symmes Chapel, affectionately known as “Pretty Place” for its breathtaking views, is a timeless gift generously bestowed by Mr. Fred W. Symmes for the delight of the boys and girls attending YMCA Camp Greenville each summer. Serving as the spiritual heart of the camp, this cherished sanctuary holds a special place in the hearts of all who have had the privilege of visiting.

When you choose Pretty Place as the venue for your wedding ceremony, you and your guests will be treated to a stunning panoramic view of South Carolina’s Upstate, creating a truly unique and unforgettable outdoor wedding experience. By hosting your special day at Pretty Place, you are also contributing to the mission of YMCA Camp Greenville. The reservation fees not only ensure the preservation and maintenance of the Chapel but also support camperships, providing scholarships to children who may not have had the opportunity to attend summer camp otherwise.

We sincerely hope that you find solace and tranquility as you step into the Fred W. Symmes “Pretty Place” Chapel, embracing the peace and serenity it offers.
