Garrett Chapel located at the end of Bluff Point is a gorgeous stone chapel made in honor of the late Charles Garrett. The chapel has been marked on the National Register of Historic Places and is known for the extensive collection of unique stained glass windows, including the last windows ever made by the distinguished artist Frederick Wilson.

Garrett Chapel, a beautiful stone chapel with majestic peaks and tall stained glass windows. This church will make your special day even more special than you could imagine. Multiple architectural designs were crafted and laid replicating 6th century Saxon style. Inspired by the Annimora Church in Scottland. The Garrett family was the largest wine producer in the world built this beautiful chapel in honor of their late son in 1929. It is in the detail in this architectural beauty and the history of the family who built this chapel that makes this place so special. If you think this place is perfect for your elopement call now because this chapel is only open for 3 months out of the year.  Making it very difficult to obtain for an event. Which, is partly why it is so sought after by brides and grooms.
