Nanina’s in the Park’s newly completed 300-guest capacity Cherry Blossom Chapel, named in honor of the famous cherry blossoms that bloom each April in neighboring Branch Brook Park, is perched above the gardens on the Belleville venue’s property.
The facade, vaulted ceilings and large arched windows allowing for ample natural light give guests the feeling that they have been transported to a ceremony in the Italian countryside.
The antique 1919 bell that is housed in the chapel’s bell tower has been restored and will continue to joyously announce each new marriage.
The cherry blossom gardens and the new chapel are but two beautiful aspects of the grounds at Nanina’s. The venue—which features Tuscan-style villa architecture and offers couples multiple indoor rooms plus a garden terrace, waterfall, balconies and outdoor ceremony spaces—has been in business for more than 65 years. Capacity is 400 seated guests.
