Nestled atop nearly 100 scenic acres overlooking the Hudson River, The Chapel at Carnwath Farms Historic Site & Park is one of Dutchess County’s newest and most distinctive wedding destinations. Located in the Town of Wappinger, the beautifully restored historic chapel pairs the natural beauty of the Hudson Valley with a modern yet elegant setting for celebrations. Couples can exchange vows at a hilltop ceremony site with sweeping 180-degree views of the Hudson River Valley, gather for photos among the expansive lawns, gardens and meadows, and celebrate with family and friends inside the thoughtfully restored Chapel.
Once part of a grand 1850 estate, Carnwath Farms offers the sense of escape couples seek in a destination wedding while remaining accessible. The property is approximately 70 miles north of New York City and just minutes from Metro-North’s New Hamburg station, making it convenient for guests traveling from New York City and throughout the Tri-State Area. With nearly 100 acres of parkland, walking trails and overlooks, plus nearby lodging and countless opportunities to explore Dutchess County, The Chapel provides a beautiful home base for an entire Hudson Valley wedding weekend.
Weddings at The Chapel are exclusively catered and managed by Simply Gourmet, a locally owned Hudson Valley catering company known for elevated, approachable cuisine and warm hospitality.
