Consider The Roundhouse in Beacon: a renovated former factory whose exposed brick walls and floor-to- ceiling windows overlooking Beacon Falls are a contemporary couple’s dream. Built in 1845 as a Methodist Church, Revel 32° in Poughkeepsie was recently transformed into a one- of-a-kind event space with original features like large stained-glass windows, architectural details and
so much more. The newly opened Keepsake venue at The Academy gives off industrial-chic vibes with
its exposed brick walls and steel beams. Dazzling views of the Hudson River and the glow from the Mid- Hudson Bridge lights are the stars of Poughkeepsie’s aptly named venue The Grandview, an award-winning indoor and outdoor venue.

Troutbeck in Amenia is an enchanting private estate, with the Gazebo Lawn, historic 1916 Walled Garden and
the Tall Barn each offering an idyllic and intimate spot for your “I do’s.” Wooded hideaways, century-old

A sweeping spiral staircase, gleaming granite dance floors, sparkling chandeliers and a rooftop terrace will make the happy couple feel like royalty at The Villa Borghese in Wappingers Falls. The Poughkeepsie Grand
Hotel and Conference Center will impress guests with its large banquet rooms, rooftop garden and onsite accommodations, as well as proximity to attractions and the Poughkeepsie Train Station. At the charming Curry Estate in Hopewell Junction, the Curry sisters see to it that every aspect of your celebration is taken care of.
gardens and exquisite views of the Hudson River and Catskill Mountains make Clermont State Historic Site in Germantown a great choice for this important day. Locust Grove Estate in Poughkeepsie is a stunning option for a wedding; its West Gallery room features French doors providing access to the historic estate’s 200 acres of gardens and grounds. Or, exchange your vows in The Loft,
a 1940s-style barn overlooking Millbrook Vineyards & Winery’s 30 acres of rolling hills.
Rustic
Ryan Family Farm’s rustic yet elegant venue in LaGrangeville will ensure a night to remember, with cocktail hour on the observation deck overlooking the pond. The Preston Barn at Old Drovers Inn features hand-hewn beams and vaulted ceilings in a newly constructed space. A property with
a barn and a history, Mount Gulian Historic Site’s 1720s homestead sits tucked away in Beacon on 44 acres of serene property that looks out over the Hudson River. With valley views like no other and reclaimed barn- wood walls in the event barn, Lambs Hill Venue in Beacon combines rustic elements into a modern space.
