Nestled on 52 spectacular acres in the scenic western Catskills, Mountain Meadows is an exclusive mountain wedding venue offering a private, destination-style wedding experience. Surrounded by rolling meadows, forested hills, and breathtaking natural beauty, our property feels less like a traditional wedding venue and more like a secluded mountain retreat. Couples often tell us there’s something special here — a warmth, serenity, and sense of connection that’s felt the moment you arrive.
Mountain Meadows is ideal for couples seeking a Catskills wedding venue that offers privacy, flexibility, and an immersive weekend experience. We host weddings of up to 175 reception guests and provide overnight accommodations for up to 30 guests on-site, making it perfect for destination weddings, weekend weddings, and wedding retreats. With everything in one place, couples and their closest friends and family can relax, celebrate, and truly be present from welcome drinks through farewell brunch.
What truly sets Mountain Meadows apart is its story. Originally our family compound, the property evolved into a five-star Airbnb-style mountain resort, and in 2025 we opened our spectacular new party barn and lodge, elevating the experience even further. Today, Mountain Meadows blends modern rustic design with refined comfort — the best of both worlds for couples who want a rustic barn wedding without sacrificing elegance, space, or amenities. Think soaring timber beams, thoughtful architectural details, and a setting that feels elevated yet relaxed.
We intentionally do not offer in-house catering, giving couples complete freedom to personalize their celebration. Instead, we provide a vetted list of preferred wedding caterers in the Catskills, all familiar with the property and experienced in creating exceptional events across a wide range of styles, cuisines, and budgets. This flexibility allows couples to design a wedding that truly reflects their tastes and priorities.
Mountain Meadows hosts only one wedding at a time, offering exclusive use of the entire property. This makes us especially well-suited for couples looking for a private wedding venue in New York, a Catskills barn wedding venue, or a destination wedding near NYC that feels intimate, intentional, and unhurried.
At its heart, Mountain Meadows is for couples who value nature, togetherness, and meaningful experiences — a place filled with love, beauty, and memories that will be cherished long after the weekend ends.

Almost twenty years ago, we created Mountain Meadows as a place to gather with friends and family and make meaningful memories together. What began as our family’s private retreat has grown organically into something far more special — a place filled with warmth, beauty, and a sense of belonging that guests feel the moment they arrive.
Now, with our children grown, we find immense joy in opening Mountain Meadows to other couples and families, sharing the love and happiness that this land has given us over the years. Drawing inspiration from our travels around the world and across all 50 states, we set out to create a setting that feels both elevated and deeply personal.
With the addition of our party barn and lodge, Mountain Meadows has become a destination for life’s most meaningful celebrations — blending modern comfort with rustic charm in a way that feels relaxed, intentional, and welcoming.
Mountain Meadows is our happy place, and we look forward to making it part of your story.

I had my wedding here in late August. I have to say it was nothing short of spectacular! This was the best venue we could’ve picked. It was so nice being able to stay on property a...
nd on the morning of my wedding walk up and walk up to the venue. Dan and Maria are some of the best people to work with!! Any questions we had they tried to make sure they answered! Our wedding was absolutely magical and I can not thank them enough for having us and our guests. This is a property that you MUST go see for yourself! The view alone is worth it.

I have enjoyed visiting Mountain Meadows on a few occasions, including a large 40th birthday celebration.
With a pool, sauna, basketball and tennis court, fire pit and Karaoke, th...
ere is so much to do for adults and kids alike. On quieter days, the surroundings provide a beautiful setting to simply listen to the sounds of nature and enjoy the views. Dan and Maria are always the best hosts, and I am excited to see their dream of creating an event space come to life.

I organized a large birthday celebration at Mountain Meadows for a good friend with about 150 guests. This was pre-party barn, so we just took advantage of the natural beauty of th...
e property. We rented a large tent, did some budget friendly decorating, hired a DJ, and brought in a caterer and bartender. Maria and Dan were helpful at every turn, pointing me to great local vendors and providing great suggestions to help us make the most of their amazing property. What started out as just an idea for an evening celebration turned into a full day of fun and activities. Dan even helped to organize an all-ages treasure hunt. And the smaller group of us who stayed the whole weekend got to make the enjoy the beautiful swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, pool table, rec room, etc.

My husband and I own a successful banquet and catering hall, so we know the hard work and love that goes into creating a special venue. As longtime repeat guests of Mountain Meadow...
s, we have experienced firsthand the enormous degree of thought and care that Maria and Dan put into every detail of their already amazing home and property. We have no doubt that their new additions will be a huge success. It's been our pleasure not just to be guests, but friends with both of them and to help provide them with some guidance to help make their vision a spectacular reality.

As loyal guests of this amazing property, we've been watching in absolute awe as Maria and Dan have been building their new party barn. We've loved watching it go from just a glimm...
er in their eyes, to a spectacular building that is now almost complete. To be honest, we had serious questions about whether something so large and ambitious could be done without compromising the intimate sense of solitude that this place has always offered. Knowing Maria and Dan for as long as we now have, we should have known better!
