More than 100 weddings and other special events had to be canceled after Wayfarers Chapel, a scenic wedding spot that recently received National Historic Landmark status, announced its indefinite closure due to ground movement in the area. The closure comes after heavy rains in Southern California caused landslides and mudflows, saturating hillsides throughout the region. Rev. Dan Burchett, executive director of the chapel, expressed his condolences for the affected couples and promised to assist them in finding alternative venues. The chapel’s administration offices are also planning to relocate due to the structural impact of the land movement. Officials are exploring options such as offering outdoor weddings while they work on obtaining permits for a French drain system to reduce soil saturation. The closure of Wayfarers Chapel, designed by Lloyd Wright, son of the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright, raises concerns about public safety and is a reminder of the severity of the ongoing land movement issue in the area.
