"It’s been our dream to have our ceremony there
​since we visited a few years ago!"

​Carriage House
Our Carriage House building dates from 1876, when the property, known as Springdale, included a mansion, formal gardens, and a swimming pool, owned by Grier Hersh.  The “stables” were converted to a residence in the mid-20th century, using materials saved from the demolition of the mansion.  The Carriage House was owned by York Hospital from 1977-1997, and was then purchased by UUCY.

​Sun Room
The Sun Room features loads of natural light, with seating and folding chairs and tables available. Sun Room rentals start at $225 for the first 3 hours.

Enter into the Carriage House suite, convenient for luncheons, parties, and meeting space. Our dining room offers formal seating for 8, and the small adjoining kitchen works well for reheating or serving coffee.

Martha Holmes Library
Comfortable seating options for small groups are the hallmark of this parlor-style space for casual group activities or meetings.

Rent the entire Carriage House room Suite for $300 for the first 3 hours. This first floor suite is accessible, and includes 2 accessible restrooms.

Emerson Room
This classroom features comfortable seating for up to 8.

​Sanctuary
Follow the brick path from the Carriage House building to the newer Sanctuary building, which offers access by elevator.

Our cheery classrooms provide working and meeting areas for smaller groups of 15 or less. Classroom rentals start at just $60 for the first 3 hours. The largest, our Susan B. Anthony room, features large meeting tables.

Our two lobby areas are welcome gathering areas with seating for 12. Rentals start at $120 for the first 3 hours, and $40 an hour thereafter.

Upstairs, our Sanctuary room has bountiful natural light and space, and offers a space for up to 200. This is a place for worship, ceremonies, workshops, concerts, meetings, and other events. With approval, the piano can be made available. Rentals start at $300 for the first 3 hours, and $100 an hour thereafter. A commercial kitchen is also available for coffee brewing or reheating of food, for an additional rental fee.

​Our Grounds
Seven acres of lush grounds with sculptures complement our variety of building rental spaces.

Weddings
Thank you for considering us for your wedding.  We welcome church members and non-members of diverse faith-backgrounds from all over the world to be married here by our minister.  We are a Welcoming Congregation. Our minister is happy to perform weddings for same-sex couples. ​

As we are an active faith community, only our minister officiates at ceremonies on our property. She is sometimes available for off-site ceremonies in York County as well (check with her for mileage charge). Each ceremony is custom-designed based on interviews and conversations with you. Contact our minister here. 
 
Spaces are available for limited rehearsal dinners and receptions, but our facilities are most appropriate for standing “cocktail” receptions. Our spacious grounds can accommodate larger gatherings, although couples might wish to contact rental companies as we don’t provide chairs or tents for outdoor events.
