Vintage meets Vogue by the Hudson
For couples seeking a rustic wedding setting, the Highlands Country Club, situated in Garrison, NY, is a venue brimming with country charm. Located amid the sprawling Hudson Highlands, this stunning property is an elegant hideaway, ideal for rural romance. An hour away from the bustle of New York City, you and your partner can enjoy an idyllic wedding in this tranquil Hudson Valley location. The venue boasts an enchanting fusion of nostalgia and modern comforts, with a blend of Georgian architecture and state-of-the-art facilities. Their passionate staff are devoted to preserving the venue’s magic while bringing your bucolic marital vision to life. Enticing and reminiscent of a bygone age, this beautiful country club sets the scene for an unforgettable wedding. The Highlands Country Club rests upon a site that has enjoyed a rich history. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Garrison Grist Mill District is a 13.4-acre area that encompasses the club and two quaint 18th century buildings- the Dutch Barn and the Farmhouse. The club itself has always celebrated people coming together. Founded in 1898, the club was established by some of the area’s most renowned families, intent on creating a local leisure centre. To this day, the club has maintained its reputation as a social hub for the locals while welcoming happy couples through its doors. Upon entering the grounds, you will first be struck by the estate’s grand facade. The driveway guides you to the elegantly columned entrance. You will be greeted by white picket fences, pristine lawns, and luscious tree groves, while the inviting Verandah will give you visions of an intimate al fresco ceremony. Couples seeking a midsummer wedding can exchange their vows in the Solarium; an ethereal setting that features terracotta flooring and an abundance of organic light. The charming Dutch Barn provides a timeless backdrop for post-ceremony pictures, as the peaceful pond and scenic views of the golf course and hills surround you. Memorable receptions can be held in the Grand Ballroom; a palatial indoor space replete with vintage decor. Its wide French doors are evocative of European pomp, while you can share your first dance under its majestic chandelier. Able to accommodate up to 150 wedding guests, this country club offers a range of services designed to make things easier. Hosting only one event per day, the venue’s staff can pay exclusive attention to your big day. They offer an all-inclusive package that factors in every detail, from their in-house catering options to their specialist planning services. They can also offer discounts for a local hotel and a valet parking service. With your satisfaction at the forefront of their priorities, this spectacular venue can create a countryside wedding to remember.
