We had the absolute best experience having our wedding at Colony! For our wedding of just over 100 people the space was perfect for both the ceremony and reception. The atmosphere was magical, and everyone was so nice and helpful at every step of the way! Seriously, the staff, the sound engineer, the bartenders, security, everyone was great! We worked with the chef on a customized menu for a buffet style dinner and appetizers that was delicious and that we got so many compliments on! Laura was our main contact, and she was super friendly, easy to work with, and ready to answer all my nitpicky questions. Also, being a music venue, they of course had a fantastic recommendation for a band that we ended up using that everyone loved!
Not only is Colony a community staple hosting fun and unique shows, it's an incredible wedding and special event venue. My husband and I were married at Colony in October, and we couldn't have picked a better place.
From the start, Laura, the venue manager, was an absolute delight to work with. She was responsive, detailed, kind, and SO incredibly helpful. She thought of things I wouldn't have thought to ask about, which made planning our day much easier. We did not use a wedding planner or coordinator, and Laura was so helpful that we did not feel like we needed one. We attribute the success of our event largely to her help.
What's great about Colony for a special events is that food and tables/chairs/linens are included, so we didn't have to worry about outsourcing those services.
The chef is a genius and made the process of selecting menu items a breeze. The food was INCREDIBLE! We loved every bite, as did our guests. When the chef found out my mom didn't like goat cheese, he had a specially-made appetizer order made just for her and the staff brought it out to her.
The sound engineer went above and beyond to help us with special requests, like a slideshow and a custom playlist for the ceremony.
The staff was incredible. Everyone was warm, polite, and attentive. We were so thankful for their help.
Then, there's the space itself, which is a dream come true. All night, we felt like we were in our own home. Colony is warm, intimate, and rich. That said, a room alone can only go so far, and we recognize that the cohesive success of our wedding was due to the effort and intention of the entire Colony team. We will be forever thankful for the best night of our lives <3

I can’t stress enough what a wonderful time we had for our wedding! The staff was incredible, the food and drinks were excellent! It was truly the best night of my life. Many of our guests still call it “the best wedding they’ve ever been to”.
Any questions?
The Colony was the perfect place for our Woodstock wedding! Great, charming atmosphere with wonderfully attentive staff. Amazing food and service! We felt like family through the entire process!
My husband and I were married at The Colony in the fall of 2019. We had a Dungeons & Dragons themed wedding and the venue was the perfect setting for our theme! We used the imperial staircase to frame us for the ceremony and the DJ for our reception was set up on the existing stage. The tea house next to The Colony was provided to the wedding party to dress and prepare for the event, which was truly a blessing when it came to timeliness.
The staff all around, from the owners to the event planner, and all front and back end staff, were very professional and courteous. I was nervous planning an event this big and I don't think I could have done it without them! One of the staff members happened to play D&D and had asked if it was okay to dress up for our wedding (which, of course it was!)! The bar staff had three specialty drinks prepared for our wedding with names to match our theme!
The food was incredible and something we still talk about years later. We opted not to have a traditional wedding cake, but they had a dessert menu for us to choose from and it was delicious.
The venue and facilities were very clean and while we chose not to utilize it, they have an outdoor space with plenty of room for dancing as well! As a former resident of Ulster County, I grew up visiting The Colony all the time and I am so happy I was able to host one of the biggest days of my life in a space that holds so much importance to my childhood. I still visit when I go back, and I plan to host more events here in the future.
GET MARRIED HERE.
My husband and I threw the raddest party of all time thanks to the Colony and its people. We wanted a not-so run-of-the-mill wedding venue and we hit the jackpot in Woodstock!
We worked with Laura to coordinate things from a-z and she made everything we asked for happen. The Chef was also incredibly cool and accommodating - we came up with a nontraditional menu that included some of our favorites foods - it was awesome. Also, great, GREAT bartenders and staff. They were all thoughtful and engaged all night.
We are SO happy we got to tie-the-knot at Colony and wish we could do it all over again. Looking forward to coming back for shows all summer. 10 stars.

Everyone at the Colony bent over backwards to make sure it was a special night for us at our wedding after-party. Laura was great, and having it right in the middle of Woodstock made it really convenient for everyone to attend. Plus the interior of the Colony is so cool and intimate.
The best venue! The loveliest people! Had a wonderful wedding at Colony.
We got married at Colony, Woodstock NY on July 7th. Our wedding guest count was a little above 100 and it was a perfect amount for the venue. The place itself is incredibly charming with plenty of space for dinner and dancing. Guests had the ability to relax outside or upstairs whenever wanted to.
Our go-to person was Laura. From the minute that we met her, we became friends! She was very attentive and warm and responded to a million text messages throughout the yearly planning process. She was a crucial part of making our special day unforgettable! All the information and inspiration that she shared with us was immensely helpful. Cannot imagine the planning process without her.
We loved that together with the bridal and groomsman parties, we had access to the Tea House. This is where we placed quite a lot of our decorations and had all the ladies get ready the day of.
Everyone that we worked with was very flexible and calm. It ended up raining about an hour before our planned, outdoor ceremony in front of the Tea House. The staff was very prompt in arranging the inside space. Overall, we cannot rave enough about how prompt, professional and welcoming the staff of Colony was. After the ceremony, they seamlessly changed the floor layout from row seating to 6-8 people tables. It was a very smooth transition. And just after a few minutes, all guests were getting drinks and amazing food.
Now, we have to give a special shout-out to chef and kitchen staff. Unbelievably delicious food! And so much of it! The chef is open to making arrangements to all dietary restrictions during the planning process. Again, all our guests loved the food!
Throughout the entire day and night, everyone at the Colony was making sure that things were running smoothly. From security and greeting, to the sound engineer that made sure that our live and dj music sounded great. Everyone put in tremendous effort. And of course, the servers and bartenders. Every drink was delicious, so many specialty and rare drink options were available. (Thank you for all the espresso martinis that kept us going!).
We loved the place so much that we all came back the next day and enjoyed the beer garden food, drinks, live music and atmosphere. It was a perfect “hair of the dog”.
The wedding was magical and perfect! We are thrilled with our special day and will cherish these memories forever. We also have beautiful pictures from the day as the venue is very charming with a lot of unique features. Lastly, we loved hearing how much our guests enjoyed the ceremony and reception.
Thank you again to all the staff at Colony!
