Upstate Chapel is the
Perfect Wedding Venue
Your Big Day Matters to Us
The Upstate Chapel is a wonderful location for your private wedding ceremony! Religious and non-denominational ceremonies are welcome, as are traditional and nontraditional ceremonies. Your wedding ceremony will be hosted in a beautiful Civil War-era limestone church with Victorian stained glass windows and seating for 300 guests. A real pipe organ and a full concert grand piano are also present to augment your special day. A public bathroom is available for guests, and private rooms in the converted sacristy are available for changing and preparation. The church is handicap accessible via a front ramp.
Your private ceremony is fully within your control. There are no pre-qualifications or religious requirements to meet to hold the ceremony, and there no musical restrictions!
