Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Lauren Kahn and Shosh Balk
Although we love living in New York City, equally wonderful is getting away for the weekend to the peaceful and gorgeous Hudson Valley. Our wedding venue is nestled within Saugerties, an artsy, charming, and picturesque hidden gem famous for its galleries, antique shops, cafes, live music, outdoor activities, markets, festivals, and historic sites. A close drive will take you to Woodstock, the heart of arts, music, and culture in the region. Drive just a bit further for the area's best hikes, woodland trails, waterfalls, and Catskill mountain views. We love it here, and we hope you will too!
