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.
Modern
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. Dazzling views of the Hudson River and the glow from the Mid-Hudson Bridge lights are the stars of Poughkeepsie’s aptly named The Grandview, an award-winning indoor and outdoor venue.
Romantic
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
dos.” Wooded hideaways, century-old 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.
Classic
A sweeping spiral staircase, gleaming granite dance floors, sparkling chandeliers and a rooftop terrace will make the bride and groom feel like royalty at 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 Le Chambord at Curry Estate in Hopewell Junction,
the Curry sisters see to it that every aspect of your occasion is taken care of.
