In case you have not seen us in person recently, please note that our building is covered in scaffolding as we carefully repair our facade and rooftop spires. As we are in the first historically designated neighborhood in all of NYC, any exterior renovation falls under the guidance and approval of the Landmarks Preservation Commission, which of course takes extra time and coordination. Accordingly, we are offering a “scaffolding special” for all weddings booked while the scaffolding remains in place.

The Sanctuary Package includes:
McKinney Chapel Wedding Ceremony is normally $3,000; the scaffolding special is $2,000.
