weddings
The Sellecks Corners Chapel is available for wedding ceremonies. The historic chapel seats approximately 70 guests in its original pews. Original 12 over 12 pane windows on both eaves walls look out onto a landscape largely unchanged since the 19th century, with an antique graveyard on one side.

Evening lighting is provided by the authentic kerosene chandelier and wall sconces, for a magical glow. The chapel is not electrified; while there is a wood-burning stove, it is no longer operational. Air conditioning is similarly unavailable.

concerts
Sellecks Corners Chapel has hosted several chamber music concerts and looks forward to hosting more similar events. The acoustics of the intimate chapel lend a rich sound to the music, with evening concerts lit by antique kerosene lamps.

The chapel stands on the border between New Canaan CT and Pound Ridge NY. There are many inns and restaurants within an easy drive of the chapel, with the Scotts Corner shopping district barely one mile to the north.

the organ
The organ was recently refurbished, and is now in excellent working order. The Epworth organ was manufactured by the Williams Organ Company of Chicago, Illinois. The serial number 21121 places the date of manufacture around 1905.

The Williams Organ Co. sold their reed organs through ministers, particularly Methodists. Their manufacturing capacity in 1899 was 1500 organs per year. Lulubelle Selleck Harris, daughter of Sivori Selleck of neighboring Pound Ridge, served as organist for many years.
