Introducing: The Chapel at Carnwath Farms Historic Site & Park

A Premier Destination for Weddings, Receptions & Life’s Memorable Moments nestled atop one of the most breathtaking properties in the Hudson Valley, The Chapel at Carnwath Farms Historic Site & Park is the Town of Wappinger’s newest and most enchanting event venue. Once a place of quiet reflection, this former religious sanctuary has been thoughtfully transformed into a sophisticated, high-end space designed to host the most cherished moments of your life.

A Unique Venue Like No Other: The Chapel can host parties up to 200 guests and is set in the heart of Carnwath Farms’ 99.7 acres, offering unrivaled 180-degree panoramic views of the Hudson River and surrounding valley. Framed by open manicured lawns, wildflower meadows, and gently sloping overlooks, this venue blends timeless natural beauty with elevated, modern elegance. Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding ceremony, a joyous reception, a milestone celebration, or a cultural or community gathering, The Chapel provides a one-of-a-kind backdrop that leaves a lasting impression on every guest.

Restoration Meets Refinement: This landmark renovation project—spearheaded by the Town of Wappinger and Town Supervisor Joseph D. Cavaccini —has brought new life to a beloved historic structure: Plaster walls have been fully restored and repainted, offering a clean and radiant canvas. Old carpeting and linoleum have been removed, revealing beautifully refinished concrete floors with an artisanal finish. Hand-restored woodwork throughout the interior brings warmth and character to every corner. Elegant chandeliers now grace the ceiling, casting a soft glow that enhances the space’s natural serenity and charm. This stunning reinvention creates a versatile, refined setting that retains the soul of its past while opening its doors to the future.

A Garden to Remember: Enhancing the Chapel’s transformation is the newly rejuvenated landscape surrounding it. Thanks to a generous donation from the Friends of Carnwath Farms, the gardens around both the Manor and The Chapel have been lovingly restored, featuring vibrant plantings, walking paths, and photo-worthy vistas that capture the spirit of the Hudson Valley in every season.

Conveniently Located in the Hudson Valley: Just 70 miles north of New York City, The Chapel is easily accessible while feeling like a secluded haven. With ample parking, nearby lodging, and miles of scenic parkland and trails, Carnwath Farms is the ideal venue to host, celebrate, and remember.
