For over a century, couples of every faith — and none — have walked the red-carpeted aisle beneath hand-carved timber and jewel-toned glass. The sanctuary seats up to 300 guests and is available for ceremonies April through October.
Your reservation includes the church, the adjoining Sunday School building for your rehearsal and wedding party, and an on-site coordinator to guide the day.
A Living Landmark
Stanford White. Tiffany glass. A Roosevelt organ.
Erected in 1885 and dedicated on June 14, 1886, in loving memory of financier Moses Taylor by his wife Catherine, the church is attributed to the eminent New York architect Stanford White. Its windows have been called the finest 14th-century-style stained glass in the country, and its Hilborne Roosevelt organ — 16 stops, 988 pipes — still fills the sanctuary every summer.
