Full Moon Resort

ntire team had for the magic they worked to create each day. If you are on the fence- don’t be! We cannot imagine having our wedding anywhere else, all of the staff were so thoughtful, proactive, attentive, and kind- special shout outs to Stephanie, Nikki, Morgan, Kayla, and Janet for their seamless coordination and extraordinary efforts! It was very important to me and my husband that we would be able to have the majority of our guests on site with us, and have family reunion vibes for the Friday night welcome dinner, Saturday wedding, and Sunday farewell brunch. It was truly such a gift to be able to walk around the beautiful grounds we fell in love with and see all our closest friends and family- playing lawn games, taking a hike, enjoying the Adirondack chairs, playing with their kids on the little playground. The food was amazing, our guests are still talking about it months later- and with so many of our guests having dietary restrictions- allergies, vegetarian, dairy-free, gluten-free, Kosher, etc the team thoughtfully accommodated and ensured everyone was able to eat delicious meals throughout the weekend. (If you’re able to- opt into the BBQ Welcome Dinner- it was SO tasty!) We decided to also have Chef Adam and team make our wedding cake, and it was perfect! We were able to send some inspiration pictures, pick the flavors and icing- it far exceeded our expectations! Our vendor team was amazing as well, if you’re thinking about having your wedding at Full Moon, definitely check out DJ Dave from JTD Productions- not only was he wonderful but he is so familiar with the venue and team that we didn’t have to worry about a single thing when it came to his set up, and what equipment he would need. Our florist, Hazel from Dancing Tulip, also has a long history with FMR, and it alleviated so much stress for her to already know all of the getting ready, ceremony, reception locations for set up! She also gave me specific suggestions for what decor would be needed for our ceremony plan and inclement weather contingency plan based on her experience working with FMR (and she was absolutely right!!) Her florals were beautiful and she was one of my favorite vendors to get on a call and chat through ideas with! Hair and makeup was done by the amazingly talented Lauren from Paneless Beauty- 10/10 would recommend, the stunning photographs were taken by Aleksandra from Gjagji Photography- she has such a gift seeing and celebrating natural light, I’m still in awe of the pictures! We rented some vintage furniture from Mattia with TBirds and that really set the loft space up well as a cool hang out, and made for wonderful photo vignettes! So stop hesitating and start booking! Incredibly grateful to our amazing team for helping us to create the perfect weekend!

ey helped to set everything up and were available and helpful all weekend long. They managed everything and worked with us every step of the way. The venue is beautiful and it is wonderful to have full access throughout the weekend. We wanted something unique that felt like a weekend getaway, and this really was it. We received many compliments on the wedding food, most saying it was the most delicious and biggest piece of steak they ever had at a wedding. We also received many compliments on the raw bar, particularly the lobster salad. Lodging was by far the trickiest challenge. It ended up working out for the most part. Many guests also stayed offsite which helped.  We appreciated how willing to help and open to feedback FMR was. The meetings we had with them to start and end the weekend felt so thoughtful and helpful overall. We loved every second of our wedding weekend and are so so happy we chose FMR!!

e event team and staff were amazing from start to finish. They helped us unload, set up décor, and made everything feel effortless. The accommodations were clean and comfortable, and we didn’t have a single complaint. We stayed in the Dancing Bear Cottage, which was adorable and perfect for the wedding couple, complete with heated bathroom floors. The café with snacks and coffee was a nice touch, and we loved that our custom playlist played during guest check-in. Our welcome BBQ and campfire were such fun touches, and getting ready in the pavilion lounge was perfect with all the natural light. The event team even brought us breakfast, lunch, and coffee while we got ready, which was so thoughtful. Our ceremony and reception in the pavilion were beautiful, and the food and drinks were incredible. Guests are still talking about how great everything was. The afterparty in the Roadhouse was the perfect way to end the night. Overall, the weekend was everything we hoped for. The food, the staff, and the atmosphere were all amazing. The venue is also very affordable, especially in the off-season. I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.

multi-day wedding celebration that left everyone (including us and all of our guests) feeling as though this was the best wedding they had ever attended. There are so many unique and wonderful things about a wedding at Full Moon Resort. The location is quaint and dreamy - many of our guests extended their travel to explore surrounding areas in the Catskills and Northeast. Even though it rained on our wedding day, it actually made for a surreal and ethereal backdrop for photos and the event itself. Full Moon Resort had rain contingency plans for every moment. The staff made us feel very secure and reassured that they would take care of everything in the event of rain - and they absolutely did! The sound of rain and the creek in the background of the ceremony was very serene. The multi-day schedule of weddings at Full Moon Resort also allows so much extra time to spend with guests. From the BBQ the night before the wedding to the farewell breakfast the day after, we felt like we had enough time to actually talk to all ~170 guests at our wedding. Our guests also raved about having lots of quality time with each other while staying onsite for multiple days. One potentially daunting part of the process is to place guests into their lodging options onsite, which is primarily done by the wedding couple since the wedding couple knows who should share accommodations. We were nervous about this part; however, the staff at Full Moon Resort helped us every step of the way and it ended up being much less work than we imagined! In the end, this also ended up being one of the most special parts of our wedding because family and friends who gathered to celebrate with us were able to spend even more quality time with each other. All other parts of the planning process leading up to the event were also handled so smoothly by Full Moon Resort staff. They are highly communicative and friendly. They provided vendor recommendations that we utilized and were very happy with. During the wedding day, we also felt like the staff were always looking after us. They gave us heads up about each component of the reception, telling us and our Maid of Honor/Best Man exactly when speeches, etc, were about to happen. There is also no need to have a day-of wedding coordinator at Full Moon Resort – they handle all vendor interactions and day-of coordination and the process could not have been smoother. The food is also incredible - every meal served on site (BBQ, day-of breakfast and lunch, reception dinner, dessert, and farewell breakfast) was delicious. Many of our guests said the steak and salmon at our reception dinner were some of the best they’ve had. The bartenders were also super efficient and keyed into our and all of our guests’ needs. Even at our larger wedding of ~170 guests (who like to party!), there was never a line at the bar during the reception. This is a long review, but there are so many things we were blown away by at Full Moon Resort. We have covered only some of the highlights that made our wedding absolutely unforgettable. We are so grateful to everyone at Full Moon Resort and wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone planning their wedding.

illed that both families felt it was the perfect venue for our Western and Hindu ceremonies and celebration. The weekend concept gave us the right atmosphere for our guests who came in from all over the world to get to know each other, and spend quality time meeting and mingling. Our guests loved the grounds, and the pool, and their well appointed and comfortable accomodations. Morgan was amazing with her constant support helping us with all our handmade touches and unique ideas, useing her expertise and experience to make it all happen seamlessly. The entire staff was terrific, friendly and helpful. The service and food was spot on. It really was magical, and off the beaten path in all the best ways. We had a glorious time and a truly wonderful experience in every way.

moment we stepped onto Full Moon’s grounds, we just knew. There’s a magic there that’s hard to put into words, but you feel it instantly. Every single staff member we interacted with—from our first call to the last dance—felt like family by the end of the weekend. We were genuinely sad to say goodbye. If you're dreaming of a full weekend surrounded by nature, good vibes, and your favorite people, Full Moon is it. To all the incredible women (and the whole team!) who made our wedding possible: thank you doesn’t even scratch the surface. The food was absolutely out of this world, the housing process was seamless, and the entire property is breathtaking. Every person on staff was kind, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile to make our day not just special—but easier, too. They strike the perfect balance between fun and professional. We even had a wild idea to do a flash mob after the ceremony, and somehow… they made it happen, fully on board every step of the way! If you’re feeling overwhelmed at any point in the planning process, trust that Full Moon will have your back. The facilities are beautiful, the vibe is rustic yet refined, and the people are simply unmatched. We’ll be dreaming about our wedding weekend for the rest of our lives, and we’re endlessly grateful to Full Moon for making it everything we hoped for—and so much more.

wanted a venue that could immerse our guests in the region. We looked at a few venues in the area that could host our guests on site but Full Moon truly stood out above all the rest for its combination of stunning grounds, reasonable accommodations, and incredible staff. While we were initially hesitant before touring because the size of our wedding meant we had to do the Sunday - Tuesday wedding package, the first visit blew us away. We toured on a Friday and ran into the arriving wedding couple who took a moment out of their set up process to shout to us “get married here, you won’t regret it” - which we took as a good sign. Another good sign was the smell of the food - the kitchen was preparing for the Welcome BBQ and it smelled incredible. Paul was so great to work with - my only complaint was that we didn’t get to work with him more after the initial contract signing! After we signed the contract and started working with the event team we could tell we were in good hands. The event team (Morgan/Kayla/Nikki) was so responsive to all of our questions and clearly had their process down to a science. Tia and the front desk team made getting all the accommodations figured out a breeze. We had heard from our neighbors who had been to two previous weddings at Full Moon that the food was the best wedding food they had ever had, so we were pretty excited going into our tasting day. We were not disappointed. The food and beverage team was great, Max walked us through all the beverage options and chef Adam came around to answer any questions about the food. We had a smattering of vegan/celiac/etc guests and Full Moon was so accommodating of all our guests dietary needs. And finally the big weekend arrived last June. It went by quickly, but the whole Full Moon team made sure it went by without a single hitch. From the moment we arrived everything just went so smoothly. Our guests loved everything being contained on the property. The food was so good and so plentiful all weekend - we had many guests come up to us and tell us it was the best wedding food they had ever had, including my uncle who is in a wedding band and has eaten hundreds of wedding meals. The many spaces, from the lower glen where we got married to the pavilion, were stunning and well-maintained, and our friends still talk about how cool the afterparty spot was. I can’t say enough about the team at Full Moon, whatever we needed they were able to help us with. When I mentioned that one of the blinds in my room wasn’t retracting all the way, it was entirely replaced within an hour. When one of my guests ran into car trouble and was going to take an hour-long Uber, Janet at the front desk threw out that she could pick him up (I’m not sure if she was serious or not, but still). Nikki and the event team took so many things off our plate that we had thought we would need to be on top of, like setting up our decor at the ceremony site or keeping our flowers watered. They are exceptional and made it so easy for my wife and I to focus on us, our love, and celebrating with our guests. If you’re on the fence about getting married at Full Moon, do it, you won’t regret it. And if you have any extra room on your guest list, please send an invite my way - I’m itching to go to another wedding at Full Moon.

hole weekend was such an amazing experience. The rooms and cottages are all modern without losing the sense of country quaintness you want there to be. The staff here is probably its biggest selling point though - these people are PROS. We literally didn't have to think about much of anything except having a good time, and that's what the staff's goal is from the moment you set foot on the resort to start your wedding weekend. They are all warm and friendly, and make very clear that they are there for you and will give you the most special, magical experience possible. In the beginning of planning I had gotten worried that I was going to be overwhelmed with the room assignments, etc - but they are so patient and willing to walk you through every step to keep it from being stressful. We had a lot of last minute changes in regard to our seating plans, and they totally took it in stride and never once made it seem like we were being a pain. The barn is rustic and beautiful, the pavilion is classy and gorgeous, and then we had the after party at the roadhouse which is just a really cool bar setting... and it's all right there! Morgan walked us through every detail, we had Nikki and Gigi and Tia all there to tie it all together - they are such amazing people that it felt like saying goodbye to family when we left there. There is literally only one negative about having your wedding here, and it's that it goes by too fast! But they definitely ensured that we got to really enjoy every moment, and we can't wait to visit there during the off season when they have the Airbnb! I would highly recommend to anyone to definitely book your wedding with Full Moon. Our families and friends are all still raving about it too!

n went above and beyond every step of the way, and we could not have asked for a more welcoming, professional, and attentive group of people to help us celebrate our wedding weekend. Tia and her team were incredible in assisting with every detail of the room plans and guest accommodations. They took the time to ensure that everyone’s needs were met, including confirming guest lists and answering any questions our guests had throughout the weekend. This extra level of care made everything run smoothly and allowed us to focus on enjoying the experience. Morgan and her team truly went above and beyond all weekend long. They made sure that the bridal party and all our guests were treated with the utmost respect and care. From the morning of the wedding day, they ensured that the bridal party was well taken care of with food and drinks, keeping us hydrated and well-fed as we prepared for the big day. They were constantly checking in, making sure we had everything we needed and that every detail was perfect. They even helped set up our ceremony site, which turned out absolutely gorgeous. The food throughout the weekend was another highlight! Every single guest raved about how incredible the meals were, with many saying it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. We were so impressed by the quality and variety, and the Full Moon team truly delivered an unforgettable culinary experience. Nicole’s presence and sense of humor made her a standout member of the bridal party team. She was attentive to every need, keeping things light and fun while ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the day. What stood out most to us, though, was the expertise and care Full Moon offers as a wedding venue. They specialize in weddings, and it’s evident in every detail, from the seamless coordination to the thoughtful, personalized service. Their list of trusted vendors was an invaluable resource for us, especially since we weren’t local to the area. We ended up going with Legion Fireworks, and as promised, they were fantastic! Our guests had an amazing time as well. Some went hiking through the beautiful surroundings and even spotted wild animals like bald eagles, bears, and deer. Others loved their cabins, which provided every comfort imaginable and made for a perfect stay. We truly had the most magical wedding weekend, and we are already looking forward to celebrating our 10-year anniversary at Full Moon. This venue and its amazing staff made our special day even more memorable, and we cannot wait to return to such a beautiful place with the most incredible team. Thank you, Full Moon Resorts, for everything!

on, everything was perfect from start to finish. We were absolutely amazed by the FMR Team’s warmth, attentiveness, and professionalism, and how much they did throughout the weekend to keep everything running smoothly. The Friday night BBQ with s’mores afterward was the perfect welcome dinner vibe. Saturday was filled with yoga, lawn games, hikes, an espresso cart, and other activities that the Full Moon staff helped set up seamlessly. Our ceremony was at the Lower Grove, and being next to the stream was perfect. The cocktail hour felt magical, with half on the lawn and half in the Pavilion. The reception went perfectly, and I think the highlight was the Roadhouse for the afterparty. It was the ideal setting for late-night partying, allowing people to dance, relax in the booths, or enjoy late-night snacks. We’d highly recommend Full Moon Resort to anyone looking for an unforgettable wedding venue with a team who truly cares. Thank you again to everyone at Full Moon Resort and huge shout out to the Events Team and Reservations Team.

is all well-trained, the property grounds are well-landscaped and maintained, and the guest accommodations have a wide variety to accommodate all budgets and needs. Most importantly, the event team is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I had so many questions in the year leading up to the wedding, and they answered every single one of my emails with such professionalism and promptness. They also made their needs from us very clear, and communicated them with plenty of time for us to gather and provide the requested information. Once we arrived for the wedding weekend, they insisted that we leave everything in their hands, and they fully delivered. They think of every detail, and make it so that not only the bride and groom, but also the families and guests don't have to do anything except have fun and enjoy the celebration. Morgan, Kayla, Nikki, Corinne, Tia, and Josh are all AWESOME. All of our guests could not stop commenting on how beautiful and unique of a location this venue is as well. It's truly an amazing experience for all involved, and I cannot recommend the venue more!!

ly and their team has everything down to a science, without making the day feel too commercial or like you’re just another number. Tia, Kayla, Morgan, & the entire staff that day were incredible. The food was incredible and so many of our guests are still mentioning how much they enjoyed it. Multiple guests mentioned how great our bartenders were. The accommodations onsite are so lovely and takes stress off your plate not having to find transportation or a shuttle. I decided on a Sunday wedding which I was initially nervous about, but so many of our friends and family have told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and I have zero regrets about it now! I think it’s rare for a bride to feel everything went right on their wedding day & I feel so lucky that I do after all that was put into planning. So very highly recommended to anyone considering venues! *( if booking with Full Moon, strongly recommended considering using their recommended vendors. Having a DJ and florist who were very familiar with the venue & worked with FMR team before took so much off my plate and made my day much more enjoyable!!!)

, the day before our wedding while guests were arriving. They did everything possible to keep our guests comfortable and safe (including shuttling them to & from cars that were stuck down the road). And when power went out in the area, they were able to run power on their generators to keep our event moving and wonderful without issue. The wedding day was gorgeous. The grounds are stunning and our guests had a blast exploring the grounds and playing lawn games before the ceremony. As the bride, I hardly had to think about any logistics because the staff was so helpful and on top of everything. We really appreciated their extra thoughtful touches like decorating our reception area with meaningful ceremony site items and checking in with us throughout the day to see if there was anything we needed (food, water, cold compresses for my eyes when I didn’t get the best night sleep the day before). The food was excellent. One of our guests said they’d been to 50+ weddings over the years and it was the best food they’d ever had. FMR team - thanks for making magic during our weekend. Best time of our lives!

itself is gorgeous - feels like you’re at a boujee summer camp, which is exactly what my husband and I were looking for. The food is above average wonderful for a wedding venue. Especially the sashimi tuna cones at cocktail hour! Our guests haven’t stopped talking about how much they loved our wedding and venue. Would recommend full moon to anyone!!

g with various vendors. I wanted a venue where all of my wedding guests could stay onsite, and where we could plan multiple events without breaking the bank. Then we saw some extremely expensive ones, and I mean $100-200k just for the venue alone, which is CRAZY! Like, no thanks. Enter Full Moon Resort. From the moment we met with their team we know this was a special place. Nestled in the heart of the Catskills (Big Indian, NY) they have over 100 acres of property and numerous locations onsite where you can host your welcome dinner, reception, breakfast/lunch and after party, as well as unique housing for all of your guests. The entire staff at the front desk, specifically Tia Williams, seriously deserves some kind of award. They were all extremely responsive, knowledgeable, kind and friendly. Tia helped me (on a short time frame) organize all of my 100+ guests into the right rooms. She also helped with our invitations and ensuring we had the right wording, as it was a two-day destination event with nuances. There was never a time that I emailed and didn't have a response within 24 hours. The onsite event staff, specifically Kayla Friedman, made all of the planning so easy (no we did not have a wedding planner - just the staff at Full Moon)! From our tasting, to the flow of the entire weekend, nothing was overlooked by this team. On my wedding day I even had two full-time FMR assistants (Nikki and Gigi) that attended to my every need! On top of everything, they also made vendor coordination seamless. Additionally, my nephew has special needs and needed a wheelchair ramp installed, which the staff made happen! They also built out a special changing area for him during the wedding reception. My sister was shocked, and mentioned that she had never received such proactive support. And.. oh.. the food - WAS AMAZING. WOW. And I'm picky. The rooms onsite were also extremely clean, well maintained, and were perfect for us and our guests. Everyone truly listened and cared about our experience. They also did not nickel and dime us for anything, and were extremely honest and fair with their pricing. I can't thank everyone enough for making our wedding weekend one we will never forget! We absolutely plan to come back for years to come ;).

. And that’s the best part, it wasn’t just a wedding it was an experience. An event that was shared by our family and friends that felt like a concert. Maybe it’s that Woodstock vibe that just weaves itself into you while you’re there. We had a two day event that included late night at the roadhouse after the reception and a BBQ the following day. Not going to lie, the weather was garbage for my wedding weekend. However; it didn’t take away from our special day. We used the tent for the ceremony, we took pictures in doors mostly, and the bonfire got cut short due to rain ~ but again, we had a blast. The team had a back up plan for the coldest rainiest weekend in November. And my pictures came out stunning! I still hear compliments from our guests that it was the best wedding they ever attended and the best food by far. Their pies are so delicious. I’d like to take a ride back up to the Catskills to get a few more. Their team was really incredible. They know every detail of their operation and manage it well. I never once stressed out about anything that was in their control. I had help with decor and a lot of my DIY items. All handled with care and displayed with attention to detail. Truly, from the time we stepped foot on those grounds we knew this was where we wanted to get married. We had been dating for 12 years and already had the house and kids ~ a full life together. Full Moon gave us the perfect location and experience to have a celebration of our lives together and make our memories more than we could have hoped for. We are a lucky couple who can truly say that we had the time of our lives for our wedding! I owe a large share of that to Full Moon. It’s a special place, you have to see it for yourself, You ll feel what I mean.

a smile and great attitude. I have very high standards and our experience working with the Full Moon Resort team exceeded my expectations! I wanted a lot of unique, customizations from the food to the floor plan layout to the locations on the property for the various parts of our celebration, they truly made everything I want happen. They staff was really accommodating of our older guests who needed assistance around the property, and were also so respectful of our religious practices for Shabbat on Friday night. I was not an easy bride to say the least, and leading up to the big day when the weather was looking cold and rainy, the staff really helped brighten things up for me with your cheerful attitudes. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for making my wedding dreams come true. The chef needs his own review bc he was outstanding! It's a lot of food to prepare and every dish throughout the weekend spectacular (that is saying a lot coming from a Food Network employee)! I wanted an over the top cocktail hour spread and the chef worked with me hand in hand to make it everything I dreamed of! He was also so accommodating to all our guests dietary restrictions. What truly makes a good party are the drinks and the head of the beverages really worked with us on a custom bar with signature drinks that our guests raved about! Last but not least, the reception team at Full Moon is truly top notch! We had to make many room changes and they were so patient dealing with us and our guests. We had a guest show up who did not rsvp or make a reservation to surprise us and they quickly found him accommodations on site. The entire team was really on top of it all. It was a pleasure working together! Full Moon Resort is truly magical and what makes it even more special is all the staff. I highly recommend the venue and the team!!!

was special. We were looking for a venue where the majority of our guests could stay on-site, spend quality time together and escape in nature. Full Moon provided all of that and more! We got so many compliments on how much people enjoyed the setting, meeting in the barn for their meals and the full weekend of programming from the welcome dinner and bonfire, to yoga the morning of the wedding, farewell brunch and being able to explore the property and nearby towns. The staff went above and beyond to make sure all of our requests were taken care of and our questions were answered - and trust me I had a lot! Even though Full Moon was juggling planning multiple weddings (50+ to be exact), they always made me feel like I had their undivided attention and were willing to get on as many calls as I wanted starting from the day we signed the contract. When it came to the day of the wedding, we knew we were in great hands! I was a very hands on bride and Morgan, Nikki and Clare are true pros and gave me full confidence to let go and enjoy the day myself! They managed the entire timeline including some last minute weather changes. We are still receiving compliments from our guests on how much they enjoyed the food, stunning venue and full weekend experience. Thank you to the entire Full Moon Staff especially Morgan and Tia!!
