The breathtaking cornerstone of the National Historic Landmark campus of A&H’s Maitland Art Center, the Mayan Chapel & Courtyard boasts a truly unique atmosphere. Your guests are enveloped by stunning architecture that appears to be cradled in the surrounding nature. The intimate size of the enchanting chapel is enhanced by ornate sculptures and carved floor tiles that lead the way to a small pond where couples can recite their vows.
The Courtyard that stands steps away is the perfect location for a reception or a larger ceremony. A lovely covered walkway will guide guests into the garden-like outdoor room. Surrounded by embellished tiles and beautiful landscaping, the Mayan Courtyard makes guests feel like they have been transported to a different time.
