One of Northern Westchester’s newest and technologically sophisticated locations, our sanctuary, social hall and meeting rooms accommodate both large events and intimate celebrations. Modern in design, Temple Beth El’s multi-use building and outdoor spaces flow together seamlessly, creating an open and sophisticated atmosphere with a warm and intimate ambiance.

Our experienced and highly professional staff is dedicated to working with you through each phase of your event, from initial planning through day-of event on-site coordination.

The ground floor entry features our Great Hall with its dramatic stairway, providing an informal and inviting central gathering space, perfect for a pre-event reception.

Our sanctuary seats 700 for a wedding, concert, or large event. Designed by renowned architect Louis Kahn, seating in-the-round creates an intimate setting in our sanctuary. Featuring wood elements, highlighted with navy blue, an elegant setting of spirituality and drama, flooded with natural light.

At the top of the grand staircase is a mezzanine connecting the sanctuary and the primary reception space. Open to the sky, it’s an exceptional area in which to gather following a wedding. The doors of the Social Hall open to the courtyard, affording the additional option of including an outdoor area, either tented or open air.

The Social Hall is ideal for large parties, wedding receptions, and lectures. This elegant space accommodates 250 people for a seated banquet. With 18-foot ceilings and large vertical windows, the room is softened with cream walls and neutral carpeting. Accommodating the most sophisticated events, it has a projector and a 9 x 16 foot screen to enable showing movies, videos and presentations.

 Testimonials

The decision to celebrate our daughter's wedding at Temple Beth El of Northern Westchester was one of our smartest decisions. Both the sanctuary and the social hall were filled with natural light, the courtyard was perfect for cocktail hour and schmoozing, and the bridal room and other smaller rooms accommodated us all for hair/make-up/dressing, etc. Our caterer was very pleased with the facilities, and the staff was extremely competent and warm, both the day of the wedding and with all of our advanced planning. I recommend everything about the place, 100%!

I can't believe it was already a year ago. I am late in saying so, but I want to thank you for all that you and your staff did to make the day so spectacular. I can't think of a more wonderful setting for my daughter's wedding. From beginning to end, it was beautiful and the incredible facility really enhanced the special day.
