Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This lively country retreat is your picture-perfect wedding destination, nestled on Shandelee Mountain in the Southern Catskills, just over two hours from midtown Manhattan. Spend the weekend your way, from enjoying artisanal slices from their famous mobile pizza oven to hiking the lush 80-acre property with your furry (and non-furry!) friends.
- Enjoy an elegant garden party-style soiree in the light-filled Greenhouse, which is bursting with over 150 exotic, tropical, and sub-tropical plants sourced from around the world. For a more playful, rustic vibe, host your shindig in the charming Barn, or celebrate al fresco on the expansive grounds…or let the party flow easily from space to space, exactly as you envision it.
- Carefully crafted cuisine showcases the region’s seasonal bounty, with many ingredients sourced from neighbor farms and thoughtfully incorporated into your custom menu. And it’s not just the food that’s perfectly curated to your vision—it’s the whole experience, thanks to a talented, passionate events team who will take care of all the details, ensuring every moment feels right and true to you.
