Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Joyful, nature-filled weddings find a seamless fit at this gorgeous 350-acre private venue, set amid mature trees, rolling meadows, and colorful gardens with a pristine lake at its heart. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle (though just a few minutes outside Cooperstown), the place has an exuberant, summer camp-like feel, perfect for couples seeking a private, naturally beautiful backdrop for their unique celebration.
- Exchange vows at the water's edge as the sun glimmers off its glassy surface, backed by endless views of the lush surrounding woodlands. After the "I do"s, join your photographer to capture golden hour portraits across the exquisite property as your guests enjoy the flow of libations and laughter on the rustic boathouse deck. Everyone comes together for a reception beneath the sailcloth tent, easily flowing onto the lawn for late-night gossip around the fire pit.
- You're invited to be as creative as you like, with the freedom to select vendors that match your unique vision and curate every element to fit your style. You're also welcome to host various additional events on-site, like a rehearsal dinner or farewell brunch; a light-filled honeymoon suite and cozy cabin for 8 (coming soon!) invites you to stay all weekend with your nearest and dearest in this special place.
