This picture is a photo that shows the way one of the brides wanted to decorate. She chose to have candles in the center aisle. The candle stands were rented at a local florist.

At the beginning of May, the lilacs start to bloom on the North side of the chapel.

There is a 28 acre field behind the chapel. If your lucky, you get to see the farmer mowing it. Sometimes there are deer, wild geese or turkey out in the distance.

This picture was taken on a rainy day. The Bride and Groom chose to have their wedding reception in Galway. They took a horse-drawn carriage from the chapel.

This Bride chose red. This is an autumn wedding that I will never forget. All the guests came dressed in Renaissance clothing.

This is the piano. The acoustics in the chapel are great. You can have any type of music you want. We will provide you with a list of all types of musicians.

This buggy was built in the 1890's. You can use it as a background for your pictures.

This picture shows the parking lot out behind the outhouse. The parking lot has an acre of parking. The outhouse was featured on the website "Outhouses of America". I am amazed at the number of children who have no idea of what an outhouse is. Don't be alarmed. We do have indoor bathroom facilities! The outhouse now holds my gardening tools.

We enjoy a unique reputation in the Saratoga region of New York and look forward to working with you on your upcoming wedding plans.
