Beautiful chapel and park

People were raving about our ceremony. We luckily had a beautiful day in the park. The chapel is so quaint, and the park was a great place to take our pictures. Loved it.

What a beautiful place to get married! We loved our fall afternoon wedding at Allaire. We didn't even put in any decorations - it is a gorgeous historic chapel all on its own. Great acoustics, too - even the people in the back could hear us clearly. Just keep in mind that the capacity is only 100 so it's perfect for a smaller wedding.

Such a lovely ceremony

We both love Allaire park. The ceremony inside the Chapel is so sweet and quaint. Cynthia who is the wedding coordinator was great! Communication between her and I was easy and she responded quickly to any and all questions I had.
You have the option of purchasing the full contract and it includes the chapel, the music, and the officiant. Definitely recommend this lovely venue!

A Perfect Day

Getting married at the Allaire Chapel was a dream! The entire process was smooth, and the rules/parameters were clear and easy to understand. Cynthia was a delight to work with. The building is beautiful, historic (was repainted the day prior!) and is just the right size to feel the love during your ceremony from friends and family. The vibe during our ceremony was incredible. Something you can't get in a larger traditional church. Plus, the ringing of the chapel bell at the end of our ceremony was just incredible! I highly recommend the Allaire Chapel to any couple wanting an intimate, beautiful, historic space. Rain or shine, this chapel is stellar.

Thank you Cynthia for making our wedding day amazing.
We cannot recommend enough.

Wow, having my ceremony here had to be the next best decision (other than saying yes to the proposal) that I had made. The chapel was beautiful. My officants wife and my wedding assistant decorated the church and Joe from Allaire was very helpful and easy to work with. The ceremony was perfect and having it at the Chapel at Allaire perfected it further. We could not have had a better ceremony site. The staff was easy to work with and very accomendating. We love Allaire and the staff. Thank you all for allowing us to create lasting memories. Truly amazing and beautiful memories. Anyone want a perfect ceremony site definately use Allaire Chapel. Sincerely, Elizabeth and Robert B.

Amazing!!!

Perfect day. Reverend Anthony is amazing - so attentive, positive, flexible, and personalized our wedding ceremony to be better than we could have ever imagined. Anthony and Bridal Music Michele closely work together to create our most special day. We will never forget and are forever grateful. Highly recommend!!!

The chapel at Allaire State park is beautiful. We had our July 1st wedding there and couldn't have been happier.

November at Allaire was beautiful. Most of the leaves were gone by then and it was chilly as the sun went down. I noticed 2 other weddings around the grounds taking pictures but there was never any conflicts of time. There are enough beautiful picture spots to share. I dont think we could have gotten better pictures, it was gorgeous!

It was awesome getting married in a quaint little chapel. Our family & friends quickly filled the pews so if you are expecting a huge amount of people, this might not be the right place for you, but it was perfect for us.
After the ceremony, it was great to be able to take pictures in the park. They all came out beautiful. Don't miss the bridge, off of the first parking lot on the right as you come in.
