Anyone have ideas for a Hudson Valley rustic wedding venue that can fit more than 150 guests?

 

I'm already looking at Whitecliff, Millbrook, OC Arboretum, etc.

 

Are there any secret spots out there that our members know of?

There is an estate attached to the grounds of  the Clermont estate, I used to cater weddings there years ago. Beautiful stone home, absolutely amazing!!!!!! With amazing river views. I would try contacting the estate for info on it.

Also check with Hudson River Heritage, as they know all the local homes which would be open to housing private events.

My band played for a very nice wedding at Liberty View Farm last fall, check out the wedding page at http://www.libertyviewfarm.biz/
ha ha!  That was my wedding!  I whole-heartedly recommend both Liberty View Farm and The Shoe String Band for amazing weddings.  Thank you again Jim.  Meghan- that's where the picture was from.

Rustic? Have you considered TuthillHouse at the Mill in Gardiner? Riverside Indoor/Outdoor Dining, under the Gunks, all around an 18th century landmark gristmill! We could definitely accomodate 150 guests, feel free to call or email for details, or setup a tour.

I'd also recommend Liberty View Farm, as someone else mentioned.  Also, Audrey's Farmhouse in Gardiner.  Could also look into Norweigian Wood Farm.

Laurel

Clinton Vineyards in Clinton Corners...they make champagne.

Full Moon in Big Indian. I have heard from a few people who have attended weddings there recently and loved it.

 

Opus 40 in Saugerties.

Have you checked out Shadowlawn in High Falls. It's a beautiful barn on Lucas Ave. I'm not sure, tho, if it can fit that many people. They do put up tents on the other side of the road behind the main house. Dan and David own it and are great people to work with.

Congrats!  I'm also getting married this June and am trying my best to do all local.  I looked at a few places, including one up near Hudson that I absolutely loved, called Apple Barn Farm.  The grounds are gorgeous and they have a farmhouse that is attached.  However, the woman who runs the place is a little bit of a challenge and they don't have any pricing written down.  If you're okay flying by the seat of your pants and are flexible on price, I would say check it out.  I ended up just going with Locust Grove, which is a beautiful site and really easy.  But it's not as rustic.  There is also some competing place near Apple Barn Farm that offers another barn/farm type wedding venue, but I can't remember the name.  Millbrook Winery also has beautiful grounds but you'd have to use a tent for that many people.

 

As for caterers-- we're using Artist's Palate in Poughkeepsie.  The owners, Meghan and Charlie are amazing, creative, and have relationships with a lot of local farms.  Highly recommended.

 

Now I'm just having a really hard time sourcing a local pie baker!  Any suggestions?

Agnes Agnes Agnes, Tearoom Tearoom Tearoom.  That's all I have to say (actually, I should tell you the real name of the place: The Village Tearoom in New Paltz, amazing desserts, they focus on fresh local fruit in season and they're easy to deal with).
Thanks!  I actually just emailed her!
