Defiance Hall is a remarkable setting for a special event. Having attended a Scottish dinner there, I was amazed at the meticulous renovations that have gone into preserving and repurposing this spacious historic building, once a 1820's sawmill located between Forts Crown Point and Ticonderoga. The attention to detail and quality of the work and interior furnishings are impressive while rustic and comfortable, not to mention the fact that War Cannon Spirits produces fine small batch whiskeys and bourbons in their nearby distillery! Having worked with the owner to help organize the Burns Night dinner, I can also say that the crew is easy and pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend choosing this venue for weddings and special events, it truly is a gem!

We had our wedding reception at Timber Banks in July 2025, and it was truly a dream come true. From the moment we started planning, Jordan Barbato, our coordinator, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She was an absolute rockstar—so organized, thoughtful, and calm under pressure. When we had a minor issue with a vendor, she stepped in immediately and handled it with such professionalism that we didn’t even have to stress. The venue itself is stunning. The bridal suite was gorgeous and gave us the perfect place to relax and get ready. The decor setup was flawless, and the takedown at the end of the night was so seamless—we truly didn’t have to lift a finger. It allowed us to enjoy every single moment with our guests. And the food? Absolutely amazing. Our guests are still raving about it! We can’t thank Timber Banks and Jordan enough for making our day so special. If you’re considering this venue for your wedding, do it—and if you have the chance to work with Jordan, you’re in the best hands.
