Boscobel House and Gardens is billed as “your home on the Hudson,” and they’re good at helping you feel that way. The Neoclassical mansion offers stunning views of Constitution Marsh, the Hudson River, West Point Academy, and the Catskill Mountains. Your guests will gasp in delight as they enter the tree-lined drive and all over again as they catch sight of the formal gardens and river. Third-party service providers are welcomed, although there’s a list of suggestions to pick from if you need help. Listed as “The Best Place for a Wedding” in the Best of The Hudson Valley Guide, Boscobel offers a mix-n-match selection of indoor, outdoor, grand, and intimate spaces for your wedding day.The Garrison
The Garrison offers a comprehensive package that takes the worry out of planning with open bar, passed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, a champagne toast, a three or four-course meal accompanied by select wines, and a "magnificent wedding cake,” with an emphasis on seasonal and local ingredients. The river views are superb, as are the indoor spaces designed by award-winning minimalist Tony Chi; both interior and exterior beauty come together in the River Room, with an elegant neutral color palette accented by floor-to-ceiling windows offering dramatic views of the Hudson. Outside you’ll find stone-flagged terraces and an 18-hole golf course, and the onsite inn offers four overnight rooms for the bridal party.Highlands Country Club
Highlands Country Club, established in 1898 as an elegant family recreation destination, blends old-world charm and elegance with modern chic touches to offer an “elevated rustic” aesthetic. A 17th-century Dutch barn sits next to a pond, and at the property’s center you'll find a breathtaking ballroom with a crystal chandelier, huge dual fireplaces, and oversized mirrors, a glass-enclosed solarium, a stone verandah with a fire pit and more. The dedicated “preparations suite” offers a spacious, elegant spot to preen yourselves to perfection before walking down the aisle, and the property hosts just one wedding per day so you won't have to rush in or rush out.Sedgewood Club
The Sedgewood Golf and Tennis Club of Putnam County was founded by an alliance of elegant sporting folk in 1928 and is a private community that feels like an idyllic slice of the Adirondacks on a secluded hilltop in Carmel, surrounded by 1,200 acres of wild land. You can reserve their 7,000-square-foot boathouse or gingerbread-style clubhouse for your wedding, and there are countless covered and uncovered outdoor locations with glorious views for your photo op. Guests can play a round of golf on the nine-hole golf course, hit up the tennis courts, or a dip in the crystalline China Lake after the festivities. Sedgewood offer catering, bartending, and cleanup, or you can bring your choice of vendors.
