Best Wedding Venues in the Hudson Valley (Updated 2025)
Finding the perfect place for your wedding is a big decision. Make that process easier for you and your partner by comparing wedding venues in the Hudson Valley area. Whether you want a gorgeous rustic farmhouse or a sprawling vineyard as the backdrop of your wedding photos, these are some of the top destinations I recommend within the Hudson Valley and the Catskills.
Gather Greene
Coxsackie, NY
Invite your loved ones to a serene nature escape by booking your big day at Gather Green. The wellness retreat has ample space beneath arching trees for rehearsal dinners, ceremonies, and receptions. You could spend time with your favorite people around bonfires under the stars after posing for portraits with the Catskill mountains right behind you.
I can personally vouch for the beautiful open-air barn and picture-perfect cabins that made my previous clients feel like they were part of a summer fairytale. When the sunset falls across the valley, Gather Green transforms into an ethereal getaway. You can always book a tour to see it for yourself without the stress of immediately booking your wedding date.
Stissing House
Pine Plains, NY
Anyone dreaming of a cozy wedding should consider the Stissing House for their venue. It’s one of the oldest taverns in the nation and still among the most popular wedding venues in the Hudson Valley.
You can rent the entire house for your ceremony or host your entire wedding day in the venue’s upscale barn. There’s no wrong choice when you’re working with a thoughtfully curated venue that’s an incredible backdrop anywhere you look.
Foodies take note—the Stissing House is also home to Clare de Boer, who became a semifinalist in the 2024 James Beard Foundation Award selection for the best chef in New York. She’s an expert chef, so your reception menu selections can range from crowd-pleasing mac and cheese to five-star recipes. You won’t have to worry about everything turning out perfectly by the time people start mingling during your cocktail hour.
Blooming Hill Farm
Monroe, NY
Check out the earthy, organic atmosphere at Blooming Hill Farm if you’re daydreaming about a wedding that prioritizes the planet. The team behind the venue includes everything you could need to pull off the most romantic ceremony and reception ever. Their inclusive catering, decor, bartending, and event staff are among the most highly rated in the Hudson Valley area.
It’s also a great venue for elopements and mini-ceremonies. They host events of all sizes year-round. You and your fiance can treat yourselves to Blooming Hill Farm’s farm-to-table menu even if you only invite your closest friends and family members.
Old Mill Guesthouse
Wallkill, NY
Audrey’s Farmhouse also operates the Old Mill Guesthouse, which combines a pergola encompassing 5,000 square feet with lodging. Invite up to 200 guests to dine in the open-air venue space while you toast to your marriage. It’s a gorgeous location that combines a rustic feel with classy decor.
Afterward your reception ends, you and your partner could stay the night in the pet-friendly suites. It’s a great arrangement if your pup will be your flower girl or carry your rings down the aisle. They can spend the night with you after everyone goes home without an extensive drive to a pet-friendly hotel.
You could even book a few suites for your bridal party and host a sleepover the night before your ceremony. There’s no rush to leave for your venue when you’re just steps away from your altar and all of its high-end accommodations — which includes a five-hour open bar with your event fee.
Audrey’s Farmhouse
Wallkill, NY
Brides who love gardening will adore Audrey’s Farmhouse. The heart of this venue is a greenhouse with 3,000 square feet for dancing and dining. It’s full of potted plants and ferns hanging from the glass ceiling. It’s a Pinterest board that came to life without any extra investment on your part.
Couples also appreciate the adjoining renovated barn, complete with a bar and five bathrooms. Your guests will have everything they need without feeling cramped in a small space. There’s plenty of room to mingle under the stars when they need a break from your dance floor.
Whether you pledge your vows on the spacious stone patio or within the rustic barn, you’ll go home with wedding photos unlike anyone else’s. The botanical vibe and lush accommodations make this the ultimate place for a Hudson Valley wedding.
Basilica Hudson
Hudson, NY
Couples searching for an eco-friendly venue should look into Basilica Hudson. The solar-powered, industrial factory hosts events with thousands of people each year. It has plenty of space for up to 300 guests, plus any ceremony and reception decor you want. It’s exactly the kind of place I recommend for couples who don’t feel like there’s any way to shrink their guest lists.
Let the venue’s exclusive event planner, caterer, and rental company handle all the fine details for your big day. Your vision will be in great hands while you enjoy every moment leading up to your wedding.
Roxbury Barn & Estate
Roxbury, NY
New York doesn’t have the redwood forests that are famous in California, but the Roxbury Barn & Estate has secluded woods that look nearly identical. Couples who get married at this venue get a private hilltop pavilion, outdoor spaces overlooking the Catskills mountains, and a renovated carriage barn for dancing. The positive vibes are immaculate throughout the property.
The Roxbury Barn & Estate is also a local favorite among couples with sustainable lifestyles. The executive chef, Leah Detreville, prioritizes locally-grown food for every type of wedding menu she brings to life. Book your wedding date here and you’ll connect to discuss how your customized meals will align with your passion for the environment.
Experts estimate that two-thirds of couples want their weddings to be sustainable in some way. If you’ve struggled to find a venue that matches your green values, look no further than the Roxbury Barn & Estate.
Windrift Hall
Coxsackie, NY
Bring the charming English countryside to your American wedding by hosting your dream ceremony at Windrift Hall. It’s one of the best wedding venues in the Hudson Valley area for couples who want the vibe of a secluded forest and a brick house built in the 18th century with ivy trailing up the walls.
The historic gardens took my breath away when I snapped sunset portraits amid Windrift Hall’s rustling leaves. Brides will also want to note that Windrift Hall provides a day-of coordinator and rental decor. You’ll have everything you need to pull off the ultimate ceremony at this waterfront venue.
Nostrano Vineyards
Milton, NY
Vineyards are always a lovely choice for a wedding venue. Nostrano Vineyards stands out from all the rest. The sprawling hills spanning 65 acres evoke memories of the Italian countryside, making this one of the more popular wedding venues in the Hudson Valley area.
When I was last there, I was dazzled by the multi-story willow tree that’s the backdrop of every outdoor ceremony on the property. Guests ate and danced in the venue’s expansive barn and twinkling lights. It’s everything you might want for your own special day if you’re comparing venues for their lush greenery, wide venue space, and affordable packages.
Foxfire Mountain House
Mt. Tremper, NY
Couples from all over the world book Foxfire Mountain House, thanks to its 2016 feature in Vogue and famous five-star weddings. The iconic house surrounded by professionally maintained gardens and quiet woods could be the ultimate place to host your wedding. It all comes down to what you’ll get with your retreat package.
Foxfire retreats include overnight accommodations, catering, rental details, and clean-up handled by an expert team. You won’t have to lift a finger at this Catskills inn, which makes all the difference during a time when you deserve to feel pampered.
Tipping is another thing you won’t have to worry about if you get married at Foxfire Mountain House. Their employee-centered management style means everyone on their team earns a living wage. You and your guests won’t have to pay tips for their services. Not even for the fresh flowers they’ll place in each room you book if your loved ones stay on the property.
Handsome Hollow
Long Eddy, NY
If you’re nervous about picking a venue with limited ceremony space, let me introduce you to Handsome Hollow. This mountainside getaway has multiple ceremony sites that are equally stunning. I loved the rustic, welcoming warmth of the venue’s 240-year-old barn, but you might also want to say your vows in Handsome Hollow’s fern forest, wildflower field, or stone ruins.
You can’t go wrong with any of the wedding venues in the Hudson Valley area. However, Handsome Hollow stands out among the best options with its inclusive wedding package and partnered vendors.
Couples who compare more than a few wedding venues also come across a specific challenge — noise ordinances. It can feel like every venue limits how long you can party and how loud you’re allowed to get. Handsome Hollow doesn’t have a noise ordinance, so you won’t have to end your night early if your wedding date is free to book there.
The Maples Estate
Schoharie, NY
Some venues limit couples to only a few hours in their ceremony or reception spaces. The Maples Estate schedules extended weekend weddings so you don’t feel rushed. It makes all the difference during a time that should feel effortless for you and your partner. If your plane arrives late or there’s traffic on your wedding day, you won’t have to worry about setting up or cleaning up within your reserved time frame.
Invite your loved ones to the colonial farmhouse to stay on-site before getting married in a field overlooking the Schoharie Valley. You could even ask them to arrive a few days early. The area has plenty of ways to make memories, which is extra special if your family will travel from all over the country. Save time for some kayaking, hiking, and spelunking together so you make the most of every moment together.
The Maples Estate also offers a complete digital wedding planning package. You’ll have access to their planning team with a virtual portal so you can keep track of every tiny detail in the months leading up to your big day. You don’t need to live in the Hudson Valley area to effortlessly plan the most beautiful wedding on this charming property.
The Roundhouse
Beacon, NY
The Roundhouse combines an industrial chic atmosphere with mountain views and lush greenery. Couples rave that it’s one of the loveliest wedding venues in the Hudson Valley area because it feels remote, but still remains close to everything your guests could need.
The Roundhouse even made The New York Times swoon back when it was primarily a hotel. People have been talking about this venue for over a decade because guests receive the highest quality experiences while they’re on the property.
Interested couples can use the indoor or outdoor ceremony spaces year-round, plus the Roundhouse’s cozy lounge for cocktail hour. The venue also provides an on-site catering team that will work with you as you piece your wedding menu together.
The exposed brick walls, floor-to-ceiling windows, and the Hudson River running just behind the Roundhouse combine everything people love about nature and downtown city life. It’s one of the best places I can recommend if you want to host your wedding within the Hudson Valley area.
Cedar Lakes Estate
Port Jervis, NY
Elegance is second nature to the team behind Cedar Lakes Estate. They meticulously plan weddings that take advantage of their Hudson Valley views, lakefront amphitheater, and enchanted garden. There’s no end to the photo opportunities throughout this mountaintop getaway designed with luxury in mind.
Cedar Lakes Estate also has multiple cabins and cottages. Your guests could stay on site without everyone feeling cooped up together. If you book your date early enough, you could even spend time at the venue’s beachfront zipline and water activities before your wedding day arrives.
The Farmhouse at Stone Ridge
Stone Ridge, NY
visitulstercountyny.com/plan-your-visit/things-to-do/farmhouse-at-stone-ridge

Glynwood
Cold Spring, NY
Your wedding could give back to the Hudson Valley community and the planet if you book your date with a place like Glynwood. It’s a nationally beloved historic home on a lake with 19 rooms for all your closest loved ones.
While you toast to your wedded future, everyone can enjoy food grown on the venue’s regenerative farm. It’s one of the only wedding venues in the Hudson Valley area empowering coalitions that train local farmers to participate in and strengthen the region’s food system. They prioritize the environment in every farming practice they teach, which makes them stand out among other sustainable wedding venues around the Catskills and the Hudson Valley.
Full Moon Resort
Big Indian, NY
I could never forget Full Moon Resort when I’m thinking about wedding venues around the Catskills. The team running the venue was inspired by Woodstock and picturesque meadows. They created a farm-like venue that merges those two themes with some of the best event management experts in the region.
Couples who get married at the Full Moon Resort get lodging for their guests and international menu options. You’ll get your favorite foods at your reception while starlight falls through the skylights in the dance hall.
