McKenzie Wilderness Estate is an incredible wedding venue with amazing owners. From the beginning, Jessi and Sean were always so helpful, enthusiastic, and open minded. You can tell how much they love the venue they have created. They want couples to enjoy the space however it makes sense for them. They allowed us to have a horse drawn carriage bring me into the ceremony which had never been done before. Jessi and Sean made sure everything at the venue was picture perfect for our wedding day. It meant so much to my husband and me to have our wedding not only in the Adirondacks, but at a venue like McKenzie where people can admire and appreciate the beautiful surroundings. McKenzie Wilderness Estate was a magical place to get married!

Incredible! Jessi and Sean have created a truly magical venue! My daughter's wedding was a dream come true. Jessi and Sean were accommodating, helpful and a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to have any event there! McKenzie Wilderness Estate is a slice of heaven in the Adirondacks.
