The chapel was built in 1859. Since its restoration, this historic wedding chapel has provided a serene and charming setting for the marriage ceremonies of many couples of all ages and backgrounds.

The chapel has withstood the test of time and has seen nearby Saratoga Springs, New York grow into a popular summer getaway spot. Through it all, the church has retained its unique historical character and charm. The chapel has been meticulously restored to its original glory. Everything has been lovingly preserved including the original stained glass window and the bronze wedding bell. One of the church's unique amenities is a turn of the century princess baby grand piano which is impeccably maintained for your musician's use.

The chapel contains the original hand carved pews and is already decorated with lace, ribbon and silk flowers. The pews already have pew-bows. You are free to add flowers and the accessories of your choice.

Having your wedding at this historic Saratoga County chapel will let you begin your marriage in a setting with an atmosphere of tradition and elegance without the rigid rules of other churches.
