The church provides a wonderful setting for a country wedding, with its spare architecture, its beautiful stone walls, surrounded by tall trees, standing next to a country road. The front courtyard is bordered by a low stone wall, making a perfect space for gathering after or before your event. |

|
The interior is painted white, creating a quiet, peaceful elegance. Flower arrangements stand out and the light from the north window creates a special atmosphere. Thanks to the excellent acoustics provided by the vaulted ceiling, it is possible to have one or two musicians perform wedding music on instruments as quiet as unamplified guitars. The church comfortably seats 100 people, but can easily acccomodate 125. Electricity, sanitary facilities and parking are available. If you are interested in using the church for your wedding, we would be happy to show it to you. To arrange to view of the inside of the church, or to obtain information about reserving the church, write to Luise Wingerter |

Every year, the Friends of the Locktown Stone Church sponsor a concert series to highlight the beautiful acoustics of this old building. We have found that classical music works especially well, and that Sunday afternoons in the fall are particularly enjoyable. |

After years of playing classical music, she gravitated towards medieval and renaissance history, and learned to play several variants of her instrument. She also discovered and fell in love with the music of her Anglo-Welsh-Irish-Austrian heritage. Carol plays the familiar orchestral pedal harp, the bright sounding neo-Celtic harp, and the difficult triple harp made popular in Wales but also played in Italy and Spain. She is currently under contract with Dorian Records in Troy, NY. |
