I photographed a wedding party at St. Joseph’s Park and am in love with how the photos turned out! It’s so unique and perfect for couples that are looking to have their pictures taken somewhere a little different. I will definitely be recommending this spot to future wedding couples when they are trying to decide on locations for portraits (or for the ceremony itself)!
Beautiful piece of architecture still standing. It occasionally attracts junkies looking to smoke some crack off the street, but overall a peaceful place. Its a great spot for wedding photos and possibly even to host a wedding reception.
This is where we got married and it was wonderful. Such a beautiful space we worked with Bri of Bella Events and it was perfect. Everything they said the could help with (which was a lot) they did. We also had our reception at the Wilder Room, which is also run by Bella Events. That meant that Bri worked with us from start to finish for the day and was with us every step of the way. She would joke that you get a wedding planner for free, but she really was a tremendous help. You still do the odds and ends but she is there to make sure they all fit together and run smoothly. Working with both venues allowed us to have or reception in the Wilder Room of it rained (thankfully it didn’t). The unique aspect of this is Bri is comfortable letting you decide if you are moving the location of the ceremony between space up till the hour before. That way you don’t have to guess of it is raining or not, you can just wait and see.Don’t forget the have them ring the bells in the tower when the announce you as husband and wife too!
So historic and beautiful . Very nice for lg or small weddings . Loved it ️
We took our wedding photos here and they were absolutely gorgeous! The Park was clean and ready for us when we arrived, which is so important when running on a tight timeline. The pictures turned out amazing and a ton of people have asked where it is in the city. A coworker and I also come here to relax at lunch time as well, super unique place in Rochester!
Great part of history. Nice spot for wedding ceremonies.
Kool use of a tragic event. Popular venue for wedding pics
Very nice little venue. Attended a wedding ceremony there. I thought the preservation of the church was a great idea and it is well kept.
Amazing venue for a wedding !
Beautiful place
We had our wedding here and we loved it here. The guests commented about how nice it was too.
Love what they have done to the place.
Had our wedding here, it was gorgeous and a very unique venue. All of our guests were very taken by it, most locals had never heard of it before despite being in the heart of downtown. Photos by our wedding photographer, Helio Sun Photo, also 5 star recommended! Were not religious, but its just such a beautiful park now that we decided to get married in a church anyway, as we enjoyed the symbolism of a church having been burned down and repurposed into something useful.
Clean and well maintained, nice quiet place despite its proximity to the busses.
Quiet gorgeous & serene.
Very cool, unique park with a great history. Well repaired ruins!
Beautiful, old historic church. Attended a wedding ceremony there.
Beautiful little unknown park right in downtown. Sits within and around an old church
The Landmark Society has done a nice job preserving and repurposing this space.
We attended a wedding and it was a great venue.
The shell of the church is interesting to see, but it seems to be a hang out spot for some questionable looking characters. I would not spend too much time just hanging out here.
Not really a park. Its just a grassy area with a few
Very, very, very beautiful park!
Beautiful site for wedding venue!
Amazing park inside a cathedral church stone frame
History, beauty, and elegance all located in the heart of Rochester.
Very nice, was here for a wedding.
They are doing some renovation work at the moment!!
In a strange area. Full of homeless people.
