Weddings at Christ Church

 We are delighted that you are considering Christ Episcopal Church as the place to celebrate your wedding vows. We are located in the heart of the City of Poughkeepsie, just a few blocks from the Hudson riverfront with its lively amenties and spectacular vistas. 

Our beautiful, sacred space has been  a splendid setting for weddings for almost 150 years. Our expansive green space provides a park-like environment that inspires a sense of peace while serving as a beautiful backdrop to your special day.  The colors of the seasons add to the beauty of our space. 

We hope you find Christ Church a compelling place to celebrate one of the most profound and memorable days of your life. 

Weddings at Christ Episcopal are open to

  • heterosexual couples and same-sex couples

  • members of the parish and non-members

  • couples seeking a Christian blessing of marriage in the Episcopal tradition

  • couples of differing religious and secular traditions

We offer religious weddings in the tradition of the Episcopal Church with a priest to guide you through the process of preparation. You will receive pre-marital counseling, ceremony planning, and spiritual guidance throughout planning and ceremony itself.

Our sanctuary may also be rented for use with your own officiant. We have a beautiful pipe organ and gifted organist available for your wedding as well as a variety of talented musicians in the Hudson Valley so that violin, flute, harp, brass, bass and cello can be added to make your wedding truly magical. 

We are happy to answer your questions. Email the church office at   or call 845/452-8220 to check availability, current occupancy and prices.
