Just What We Were Looking For
The Mod House immediately aligned with our vision. Unstuffy yet refined, it was the perfect place to bring our 70s-inspired, disco, pure-fun house party wedding to life. Not only did we get the relaxed, effortless atmosphere we wanted, but also a glorious New York autumn backdrop for our ceremony. Leading up to the event, the Mod House’s owner, Nick, was incredibly accommodating—allowing us plenty of time to visit, plan, and get a feel for the space. The venue offered such splendid variety for us and our guests. Whether dancing and lounging in the speakeasy, relaxing by the firepit, or enjoying the warm, inviting interior of the Mod House’s great room, there was a perfect spot for everyone. Our guests couldn’t stop remarking that it was one of the most unique and memorable venues they’d ever been to. Our wedding day couldn’t have been more perfect. The Mod House gave us the freedom to create something personal, vibrant, and joy-filled. If you’re looking for a venue that feels effortlessly cool yet welcoming, we can’t recommend it enough.
Amazing venue!
The Mod house was a perfect venue! Nick made sure everything was seamless and was helpful throughout the process. The grounds are beautiful and the speakeasy added a super fun touch that all of our friends will talk about forever!
Intimate but groovy wedding location
The ModHouse was the PERFECT location for our wedding ceremony! Nick is lovely and easy to work with. The property is gorgeous and incredibly unique. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a stylish but intimate wedding venue!
A Wedding Venue with Soul!
The Mod House was the PERFECT choice for our wedding venue. Paula and I were looking for a space that was unique that had soul. The Mod House checked both boxes. The outside space is well kept green lawn surrounded by beautiful trees, plants, and wooden structures that had multiple spots to chill and visit before and after the ceremony. Inside is the speakeasy is like being in a Jazz club in the Bowery in 1966! So freaking cool! EVERYONE tore up the dance floor. Nick and his staff are chill, but very professional with attention to detail. We are sooooo happy we found this spot! Such a memorable day!
