About Historic Huguenot Street

Make history with your event at one of the most significant historic sites in America. Including seven stone houses that date to the early eighteenth century, this National Historic Landmark District offers a variety of options for memorable weddings and events, including ceremonies, showers, receptions, and parties. 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 non-denominational Crispell Memorial French Church, a reconstruction of the original Huguenot Church, can accommodate up to 65 guests. 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. $650 for 2 hours (Wedding, Performances) $400/2 hours (Baptism or Memorial Service) Max. capacity 65 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.

Things to know: In order to reserve the desired date, you must remit to HHS a minimum deposit of 50% of the rental fee, plus a refundable $50 "cleaning deposit". Payments may be received via check, credit card, or cash. The services included with your rental depend on the space that you end up renting and the size of your event. We do have tables and chairs available for our renters to use, but for large weddings and events, our renters usually choose to use a 3rd party events rental company (such as Durants or Rhinebeck Party Rentals) for their tents, tables, chairs, portable restrooms, and other rental needs, since our inventory is not sufficient for parties of over 100 people. Our buildings and grounds staff are familiar with event setup on the grounds, so we will work with the vendors of your choice to make sure that everything is set up as efficiently as possible. We can also give you a list of some of the caterers and vendors that have done events with us in the past, if interested.
