After my first visit with my wife to escape the daily grind and surprise her with a romantic weekend, we returned with the kids a second time and had a ball. This is heaven on Earth for us, and not so far away from NYC. The grounds are magical and the compound has everything we needed, including wood for the raging fire we made. Thanks to the owners for treating us special.

Waterloo Village is a truly magical venue, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience there. We first visited for a wedding and were immediately captivated by the rustic charm and historic atmosphere. After seeing how seamlessly everything ran that day, we knew it was the perfect place for our own wedding. The staff at Waterloo Village is outstanding—extremely friendly, helpful, and refreshingly low-pressure. They genuinely focus on making your day special without pushing you to spend beyond your budget. Their professionalism and warmth made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. One of the highlights is their catering partner, JAM. Their commitment to farm-to-table dining is evident in every dish. Many of the ingredients are sourced fresh, some even from their urban garden, which adds a special touch. The food is not only fresh but absolutely delicious. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with incredible staff and top-notch food, Waterloo Village is a fantastic choice!

We had our small wedding at the Red Barn at Twin Goat Farm over Memorial Day Weekend and it was truly unforgettable. The venue is located on a family-owned goat farm, where the owner, Tracee, makes goat soap and hosts craft markets and events out of her beautifully decorated barn. The space is so unique and full of charm-our guests were blown away! Tracee has done an incredible job creating an atmosphere that feels both cozy and magical, with quaint farm decor, candles, chandeliers, ferns, and all kinds of interesting details throughout. Tracee and her partner Joe went above and beyond for us. From our first communication to the day of the wedding, they made everything seamless. We held our ceremony in the gazebo, which Tracee graciously transformed with white linen curtains and ensured the lounge furniture was temporarily removed so we had a beautiful space to exchange vows. They even made a custom sign for our special day! Tracee truly bent over backwards to make things perfect—even giving some guests a valet-style ride to the barn when they were running late. She also took a few guests to visit the baby goats, which was a huge hit! The venue accommodated all our vendors with ease, including a DJ, a mobile pizza truck, and a pop-up bar. Everything was smooth and effortless. Our guests are still raving about the space, the farm, and especially the warm hospitality. The barn includes amenities like a bathroom, refrigerator, games (Connect 4, bocce ball, cornhole, and more), and even a fire pit with surrounding seating. There’s a stage for a DJ or karaoke, and the venue provides tables and chairs. Inside, flameless candles line the windowsills, and twinkle lights and chandeliers create the perfect ambiance. Outside, the gazebo is furnished with vintage furniture, making it a charming lounge space when not in use for ceremonies. I will always recommend the Red Barn at Twin Goat Farm for any event and especially for a wedding if you’re looking for something truly unique and memorable

Lake Mohawk Country Club was a fantastic venue for our wedding. Their communication style was very flexible - they were happy to chat with us over email or get on a call whenever we had questions. The space itself is absolutely stunning, and the entire team, especially Karen and Blake, were great to work with throughout the entire process. They went above and beyond, unpacking all of our wedding decor and setting it up perfectly. The food was also delicious! If I had to say one negative thing (just so you know this is real.) ... was the cost of the bridal suite and the den, which felt a bit high. Overall, we had an amazing experience at Lake Mohawk Country Club and would highly recommend them to any couples looking for a beautiful wedding venue.

There aren't enough words to describe what a perfect day Anah and her team created for our wedding. It was more perfect than we ever could have conceived of ourselves. We booked during a transition period for Anah and her business, so sometimes there were some lapses in communication and some crossed wires, but when it came to the wedding weekend, everything was absolutely perfect. (Maybe I'm overusing that word, but it doesn't feel possible). Anah is so warm, funny, personable, and made us feel like we were the most important couple in the world on our wedding day - and also extremely safe and welcome as a queer couple. Every detail was thoughtful and lovely. We used what she grows for our flowers, and she put together a bouquet for me on the morning of the wedding that matched perfectly with accessories she hadn't even seen yet. It's possible she's a little bit psychic. Thank you, thank you, thank you Anah and team for our perfect day. I wish we could do it all over again!

Magnolia was a dream for me and my husband!! I was very discouraged by the venue search and had almost given up when I stumbled across Magnolia. It looked so gorgeous I was afraid the pictures were misleading me. But while the outside doesn’t look like much when you drive up, inside it’s a fairytale world. We were in love from the moment we saw it, and all my guests were stunned. The space felt rustic and secluded—like you’re out in the woods somewhere with the sound of the river all around you. And Magnolia has built up the property with an elegance that makes it even more dreamlike. And I can’t say enough about the venue coordinator, Cheyenne! She literally worked miracles to make it possible for us to have our wedding there. This woman is sharp and incredibly knowledgeable and organized. Her recommendations and tips saved me so much. She’s super honest and upfront about things, and she does her best to take the stress and pressure of the wedding off of you. She also is very caring. Throughout the entire process, she was attentive, and I felt like she cared about me as a person, not just another client. On the day-of, she created space for my husband and I in the bustle and went out of her way to help with whatever we, or the wedding party, needed. It never felt like having a stranger around, and I knew I could trust her to handle any mishap. I highly, highly recommend her wedding planning services even if you don’t end up using the venue itself. Some tips: I personally think Magnolia works better for smaller, more intimate weddings. We had about 60 people, which filled the space nicely, but I have trouble imagining how the max amount of people (120) would fit on the dance floor. I wouldn’t recommend having a lot of vendors and tech either. I think it would clash with the space. We also really enjoyed renting out cabins for our wedding party. The rooms are nice, and it allowed us to soak in the weekend. Another great thing: the property is the perfect size for getting cool photos—small enough to walk but large enough to find lots of lovely locations. Definitely take advantage of that! I highly recommend Magnolia. I don’t know how our wedding could have been more beautiful or peaceful, and I thank all the staff at Magnolia for caring for us.

The venue has a space for both bride and groom to get ready on site. Both areas fit 15-20 people easily. The vines and landscaping were breathtaking. The vista (tent) was perfect for our spring day.

I cannot put into words how HIGHLY I recommend Glasbern. The ceremony space, reception space, guest rooms and grounds were so beautiful and the exact vibe we were going for. Megan and Morgan, the events manager and our day-of coordinator were my guardian angels, dealing with every request and question I had and taking every bit of stress away from me. The entire staff was perfection and treated us all amazingly. The food is incredible and the bartenders kept up with our VERY thirsty group. We were in the Glasloft, which is the smaller of their two event spaces (we had 70 guests), and even with another wedding happening at the same time, we never felt like anything was happening except our wedding.

We had been going to Folino for years prior to booking them for our wedding so we were already fans, but they did a wonderful job in giving us the exact wedding experience we wanted. The space is beautiful, the staff is exceptional, and we felt the cost was reasonable (as reasonable as a wedding can be, at least). Any complaints or concerns we had were 100% remedied and they truly pulled off a flawless execution when the big day came. Lauren and the planning team were responsive and accommodating. She helped guide us through the many small decisions that need to be made that we didn’t even know existed. When the day came, we had Kelly take care of us as our Maitre D’ and she ensured we were well fed and had plenty of access to drinks. Overall, we can’t say enough positive things about our experience here.

Rachael and her team were absolutely amazing for our wedding whenever I had a question about the venue I knew I would get a very quick response from Rachael days leading up to the wedding. We kept our eye out on the forecast, hoping to have the ceremony outside in the garden however, with the rain we had to have it inside, but it was still absolutely perfect, they were able to get it, so that way you didn’t see everything underneath the tent during the ceremony and most of the time you didn’t even know they were there.
