“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!”

“Snowhill Farm was the perfect venue for our small wedding. From the moment we reached out, the team provided fast, clear communication, answering all of our questions quickly and making us feel right at home. The venue itself is absolutely stunning - a beautifully preserved and maintained very large home set on sprawling, manicured grounds. Everything we needed was available, from getting ready suites to a gorgeous ceremony site to a glamorous reception space. The level of service and attention to detail was impeccable, and our guests raved about the beauty and elegance of the entire day. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting to celebrate our marriage.
