Birch Hill was the best venue for us! From day 1 the staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We really didn't have many ideas to start and didn't know where to start but Jessica was a HUGE help to us. She was patient and used her experience to help guide us but making sure we got exactly what we wanted. When Jessica was unavailable, other staff member (Joanne, Sarah, etc.) quickly and willingly stepped in to give us a hand. On the day of, it couldn't have gone any smoother. All of the staff (Jessica, Rebecca, Will, Serena, etc.) were extremely helpful making sure we got where we needed, things were in place, food and drinks were served to us, etc. I cant even list everything that have done for us! The space is large and able to fit our 10 piece band, 175 guests with 16 tables, plus a sweetheart table without feeling crammed.

There are no words that can express the magnitude of care, thought, and effort that the team at Fortune Valley Manor, led by Kerri & Frank Tiano, put into their weddings. We had the pleasure of getting married here two weeks ago on 9/17/23 and it was absolutely beautiful. If you’re considering FVM, do yourself the favor and make an appointment to meet with Kerri & Frank and see the site in person. Kerri guided us through the entire process as we planned it in 7 months; she helped us identify what vendors/suppliers we may need and provided resources for reference as well as time priority of onboarding vendors. Your wedding at FVM will be so personally YOU. Kerri and Frank make note of all the small details and execute an amazing wedding, that guaranteed, will keep guests raving for weeks. Ours still are! Any chance we get to swing by, we will!

Kismet House 

5.0

Clintondale, NY
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $15,000

Nestled in the heart of the Hudson Valley, Kismet House was brought to life as the perfect venue for your dream wedding and next event. With housing for 24 onsite it's an amazing local destination wedding weekend. The Kismet property spans 62 acres, anchored around our centerpiece, an original classic Red Barn. Surrounded by acres of apple orchards, a secretly nestled pond amidst the trees, meandering walking trails. — Kismet House is a memorable and escape close enough to find a wooded paradise less than two hours from New York City.

I had a fantastic experience at Kismet House. The venue was gorgeous and had everything one would expect and then some! The onsite lodging was perfect for the wedding party and made me everything easier. Everyone that I worked with on the venue side was kind, professional and quick to respond. I highly recommend this venue and their staff.

Seven Ponds Farm 

4.9

SUMMIT, NY
  • Up to 125 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Seven Ponds Farm is a heavenly spot way up in the Catskill mountains, with a dozen ponds and lakes, and pastures as long as the eye can see. GALLERY Seven Ponds is the new sister property of Blenheim Hill Farm, a well-known destination wedding venue with raving reviews. Seven Ponds has been designed to host smaller, intimate weddings from 75 guests up to 140 guests with the same magical qualities and attention to detail as our sister farm Blenheim.

My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding at Seven Ponds Farm, and despite some unexpected rain, it was truly the best day ever! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning beauty of the venue. The mountains, the ponds, the charming farm (and adorable goats)—it was all picture perfect. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the gorgeous setting. And even when the weather threatened to dampen our plans, the incredible team at Seven Ponds Farm had a backup plan to save the day. They seamlessly flipped our ceremony and cocktail hour so we could still get those breathtaking mountain views during our ceremony. They even brought delicious snacks and drinks from the cocktail hour to our bridal suite so we wouldn't miss out on any of the fun. We opted to have our rehearsal dinner at the venue as well as the reception, and we were not disappointed. We got many compliments on the food, and especially the fish tacos, which we didn't try during the tasting dinner, so we were pleasantly surprised! All around, everything was delicious. We also stayed at the venue from Thursday to Sunday, which definitely made the whole experience feel even more special, as it truly did feel like home while we were there. Olivia and Edvard were absolutely amazing. They were so professional, accommodating, and truly helped us every step of the way. When the power went out in the main house while we were getting ready, they were right there to help us get it back on. Their calm demeanor and quick thinking really put us at ease. We can't recommend Seven Ponds Farm enough. It's a beautiful place with an exceptional team who will make sure every detail of your wedding day is well thought out. If you're looking for a venue that's both stunning and has incredible service, look no further!

Catskill Estate Wedding 

5.0

Claryville, NY
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Raw space
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $4,000

This historic Japanese garden and summer cottage were built at the turn of the last century. A private estate spanning 125 acres of gardens, fields, streams, mountains and trails, it has remained in the same family all this time. The garden is recognized as an important example of the Japanese “strolling” garden from that era. Because the estate remains in private hands, it is made available by the family for special occasions on a limited basis (2-3 ceremonies per year) The venue includes the Japanese garden and the surrounding meadows and fields. If you are looking for a location for a formal wedding ceremony and reception or a destination wedding site for enjoyment with guests over a long weekend of fun, hiking, fly-fishing etc., this venue offers rare access to an exclusive, one-of-a-kind destination. We have partnered with the Frost Valley YMCA to provide lodging with hotel like accommodations and transportation for wedding parties to and from the estate.

Working on an estate always holds a special place as a photographer. There's something unique about being on a property that a family holds near and dear to their heart, and you can tell that thought and care is put into every detail and every space, honoring where they came from and embracing what's ahead. When I familiarized myself with the property upon arrival I was continuously met with various opportunities to take gorgeous portraits, and I used each of them to really tell the story of where we were and the wedding we were celebrating. The grounds are beautifully kept and the tented reception complimented the property perfectly. If you're looking for a unique venue that is understated but nonetheless special, this is the place for you.
