Deyo Hall Meeting Rooms

Deyo Hall, located on Broadhead Avenue in New Paltz, offers two distinct venues. A large room accommodating up to one hundred individuals for receptions, parties, or meetings and up to eighty for sit-down dinners or workshops is available. For small groups, there is a more intimate space accommodating up to twenty individuals for cocktails or meetings and up to fourteen for seating at table. Folding chairs and eight-foot rectangular tables are available at no extra charge. A screen for presentations is also available free of charge. The rooms can be rented individually, or as a pair at a slightly reduced rate. Both can be rented year-round. For an additional fee, the Grimm Gallery can be opened during your event so that your guests may view the current exhibit. Please note that food and beverages are not permitted in the Gallery.

Crispell Memorial French Church

The French Church, located on Huguenot Street in New Paltz, is a reconstruction of the first stone church in New Paltz, originally built in 1717. This reconstructed church was built in 1972 with funds from the Crispell Family. The structure features high-backed wooden pews and a raised pulpit, with a seating capacity of eighty individuals. It is a uniquely simple and yet appealing structure, with remarkable acoustic clarity. While we receive many inquiries on the availability of the church for weddings, the building is also a museum property and requires a certain amount of care and maintenance. Therefore, we restrict wedding ceremonies at the French Church to twelve weddings between May and October, during the public tour season. We allow unlimited booking from November to April, provided the space is not already reserved. To increase the likelihood of reserving your desired date, we request that prospective couples contact us as much in advance of the wedding as possible.

Grounds and Lawns

Our attractively landscaped grounds have views of the stone houses, space for tents or pavilions, and shade from stately trees that have sheltered Huguenot Street for over a century. These picturesque grounds make the perfect setting for wedding receptions, parties and large meetings. There are two sites on the property suitable for this type of event - the front lawn at Deyo Hall for smaller groups, and the large lawn behind the Deyo House for groups of up to 200. Due to a Village of New Paltz noise ordinance, there is a cutoff time of 10:00pm for outdoor events.

A deposit is required to hold all dates.

Special tours of the museum houes of Historic Huguenot Street are available during the season for an additional fee with any rental.
