Elevated, Cozy & Intimate Wedding Weekend Venues in Upstate New York
As East Coast wedding planners, we have a soft spot for the cozy, romantic charm of wedding venues in Upstate New York. Tucked into the Catskills Mountains and Hudson Valley, this region offers a special, comforting kind of wedding weekend experience. It is intimate, inviting, and steeped in natural beauty and mountain charm, far from the hustle and bustle of the city.
What we love most about these wedding weekend venues is that they feel like a true wedding retreat for you and your guests. These are not just your typical wedding venues. They are luxurious, elevated, and stylish sanctuaries with crackling fireplaces, wood-paneled lounges, and artfully curated interiors that invite you to slow down and savor time with your favorite people. They are ideal for full weekend celebrations, including welcome cocktails, a rehearsal dinner, the wedding day, and a farewell brunch. The convenience of having a handful or all of your guests right on-site is also a major plus.
From the elevated comfort of The Henson and Hotel Lilien, to the lakeside serenity of Kenoza Hall, the modern mountain aesthetic of Scribner’s and The Woodhouse Lodge, and the charming elegance of Hasbrouck House, each venue brings a distinct, personalized sense of place. It is the kind of understated luxury that makes guests feel instantly at home.
