The Best Catskills Wedding Venues for 2026 and Beyond
The Catskills are only a couple hours from New York, but a world away. These wedding venues are the best of the best. There are plenty of farms, barns, and estates scattered around, but the ones here on this list also have extremely high levels of service. Generally this list is comprised of venues in that sweet spot of rustic but not TOO rustic. Remote, but your guests can still have a nice dinner at a local restaurant or find a cool Airbnb to stay.
Most of these venues primarily host larger weddings of 120 or more, but some of them are open to micro weddings and elopements as well. If you decide to have your wedding at one of these locations, Joshua has a preferred venue package you should ask about. For now, click through and check out their websites. And tell them Joshua sent you.
