The Historical Chapel is a privately owned landmark of the Town of Oyster Bay.
It is one of a handful of historic landmarks that still grace the North Shore of Long Island with its beauty and charm.
Originally built in 1852 as a Methodist church, the chapel has always been a gathering place for people.
The chapel was eventually taken over by the Church of the Latter Day Saints and functioned as a primary place of worship for many years.
Abandoned in 1993, the chapel sat vacant and unused.
In 1997, current owner, Matthew Delaney, purchased the property as part of a project to restore the landmark to its original condition and offer it as a unique setting for wedding and remembrance services.

For most brides, the answer is either in their place of worship or a reception hall.
Many brides do not have a place of worship.
Or they have family and friends who are very diverse, so they would like to be in a neutral location, which leaves a reception hall or town hall for a justice of the peace wedding.
These can be very limiting for atmosphere, memory making, and pictures.
