appened! They were great about rescheduling our October 2020 wedding for October 2021, Jeremy is extremely professional and organized - it is clear they have been doing this for awhile and have a system in place that works!

You won't regret booking Onteora, it's beautiful.

many many times we felt beyond thankful to have chosen Onteora. Bob and Jeremy were amazing. We were so thankful to have practical, honest, down to earth individuals who answered a zillion of our questions, offering their helpful advice (often with a humorous twist) from decades of weddings, and making all kinds of accommodations to make our wedding perfect. (Jeremy even arranged for awesome apples from his farm stand for our welcome bags.) We and our guests had an amazing time - everything was gorgeous, smooth and delicious. Some of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and that some of the appetizers were the best wedding food they had ever had. It’s a beautiful place, and we’re already excited to try to return to the B&B for anniversaries. (We stayed at Onteora for the tasting weekend and a few extra nights before/after the wedding - highly recommended.) Thank you Bob and Jeremy!

ts to feel as they arrived. In addition to the views, Onteora's resident manager Jeremy and the owner Bob, are one of a kind. Jeremy-- there is nothing that he didn't do to make our day absolutely seamless. Every detail was thought through and things that went unplanned-- he was there to make sure it ran smoothly anyway. We couldn't have asked for a better event manager. It was like there were 5 Jeremy's since he was everywhere you needed him to be. Amazing! Meeting Bob confirmed that Onteora was where we wanted our wedding. He is a no-nonsense guy who really loves the mountain house and has the best approach to dealing with weddings. The food was amazing, all locally sourced through the Blue Mountain Bistro Catering company. We loved working with them throughout the process. We highly recommend the weekend experience so that you and your family and friends can enjoy the surroundings for as long as possible as it goes by way too fast! Waking up to the fall foliage and taking a shower overlooking the valleys was the absolute best way to start the most special day of our lives! Thank you Onteora! We plan to be back for our anniversary!

, but also leaves room for the special touches that allow your wedding’s personal theme to shine through. We loved having the venue to ourselves from Friday through Sunday, and opted to host our rehearsal dinner (35 people) and Sunday brunch (100 people) there, all of which were delightful. We loved that our family dogs celebrated with us, since Onteora is pet-friendly. Onteora is so peaceful and secluded that your entire wedding will feel like a dream - very different than your typical commercialized wedding venue. We loved having the ceremony and cocktail hour outside, and the surrounding landscape provided an incredible backdrop for photos. If we had to go back and do it all over again, we would still choose Onteora in a heartbeat.

detail. The whole staff is so thoughtful and makes sure everything runs beautifully and smooth. I loved the ceremony site, that the whole weekend was ours to host a rehearsal dinner, wedding and brunch, and the overall serenity that takes over you the second you step onto the grounds. The feeling is indescribable. Pictures can't even capture the magic of the grounds. The house and rooms are comfortable, updated and superb! Our parents and family loved hanging out in the house, game room and by the fire pit. They also loved the seated breakfast for both Saturday and Sunday, it was nice to have time together with a delicious breakfast (which is important to eat the day of your wedding!) Jeremy is a dream to work with, he goes above and beyond and really nails every detail! He was a perfect day-of coordinator, and kept us on-time and was a calm and strong force for the day! I was debating back and forth about getting a planner and with Jeremy, it is not needed! He answers every question before and during the wedding and really knows EVERYTHING to ask and organize. The food was fantastic and tasty! The tasting that they host was great to be able to pick our appetizers, entrees, sides, cake and desserts. Food was hot, fresh and delicious. Our cake was beautiful and people ate 2-3 slices each! If this venue has your requested date available, RUN don't walk to take that date! You will not regret it.

not stop telling you how beautiful the grounds and pavilion are. But this venue is more than its good looks. It is a well-oiled machine. Peace of mind is everything when it comes to wedding planning, so you want vendors you can trust. You can depend on Bob and Jeremy 100% to make things run smoothly. I actually hired an independent wedding planner, and after all was said and done, I wish I hadn't because Jeremy, the in-house coordinator, was so capable and helpful, it was totally unnecessary to have extra help. Finally, it rained nonstop the day of our wedding, but that didn't spoil things at all because Onteora was fully equipped to handle the weather. When I first toured this venue, having a rain back-up was a high priority for us, and we chose Onteora because the rain plan-B is just as beautiful as the outdoor plan-A. As it happened, that turned out to be critical! If you choose Onteora, you'll have an incredible wedding and you and your guests will be delighted.

Not having to choose every chair, knife, and glass made planning much less time consuming.

Our family and friends loved the Onteora Mountain House. They raved about the beautiful venue and the gorgeous view. A few people even mentioned that they were going to look into for their own weddings. We are so happy we chose the Onteora Mountain House and cannot thank them enough for their professional work and personal touches.

o him and he was as blown away as I had been. We visited a bunch of sites but saved Onteora for last, and the moment we got there we knew it was right for us. The venue is absolutely stunning—we were married at the end of October and the foliage was incredible (it didn't hurt that the weather was perfect, too). Our ceremony was outside; we said our vows surrounded by friends and family and bathed in sunlight. One of my guests said it was so beautiful it was otherworldly. Plus, there's the fact that everything else in the process ran so smoothly. Bob and Jeremy clearly know what they're doing; they were quick to respond to emails and questions, and handled everything—even the things I hadn't known to worry about or plan—with perfect efficiency. I was not looking for a DIY type of wedding; I didn't want to have to rent forks or chairs or look up ordinances about how late a party could go. I just wanted a place that handled everything and did it well; Onteora definitely is that place. I had so many guests tell me how ridiculously good a time they'd had. We opted to do a morning-after brunch at Onteora, too, and that was equally awesome, with delicious food and gorgeous views.

anted a venue that reflected our love of the area and also showcased and supported the local people and other local vendors. Many of the kind folks working at the Mountain House were old friends and/or acquaintances, and working with them was so comfortable and enjoyable. Jeremy (the Manager/Wedding coordinator/provider of all things) is AMAZING. He is supremely organized, calm, and respectful. He works with you to make sure every detail is accommodated, even if it's not included and is something additional. If you have add-on catering requests he goes out and does the shopping himself. You work with him throughout the entire planning process, and you never feel like there is anything left out or forgotten. Your day is constructed and built up around you, your personality, and your preferences, and on the day, it's truly magical to watch it all come together. On the day of our Wedding, every person on staff was helpful, respectful, sweet, and patient. You can tell they put up with a lot, given the high demands of brides and grooms these days, and they still treated our Wedding like it was something extremely special that they were thrilled to be a part of. The actual day was just a joy to experience. Being on site at the Mountain House is an amazing, no-words type of beauty. Even having lived in those Mountains my whole life, the views took my breath away. We were lucky enough to have had a beautiful clear day, but even misty/rainy days are gorgeous at the Mountain House and they are clearly very prepared for any type of bad weather. The rooms (we got ready and stayed in the Cottage, the Overlook room), are luxurious and beautiful with all of the amenities of a 4-star B&B. Breakfast in the morning was provided by Jeremy himself and was fantastic. Onteora works with the local Blue Mountain Bistro for catering and the food was incredible, from the cocktail hour appetizers to the dessert (they also provide the Wedding cake). The bartender perfectly crafted our Drink of the Day and it was a huge hit. The food tasting was several months before, and our parents attended in our place since we couldn't be there, but Bistro hosted a private tasting especially for us when we came in to visit our families a few months later. Since I didn't get to eat much at the actual Wedding I felt lucky to have tasted everything previously. In Summary, the Mountain House truly showcases how hard-working and kind the local people of the area are, the pride they take in their work, and how they will go above and beyond for you. Show them the respect they deserve and you will not be disappointed in this choice of Wedding venue.

ecessities such as tables/chairs set-up. Also, the rooms in the B&B were fantastic—it made us and our wedding party feel like we were on a vacation. We decided to have our rehearsal dinner at the house as well, which worked out really well. The owners helped direct the ceremony rehearsal and then cocktails/hors d’oevres were provided. We worked out a custom-made menu with the caterer (Bistro To Go, which also provided food for the wedding). We were very pleased with everything: The food was great and the table setup was perfect. The wedding day went very smoothly as well and we luckily had perfect weather. The breakfast that was served was delicious. My hair/makeup team was pretty slow-moving, so we were down to the wire to get the bridesmaids/mothers/myself ready in time, but the owners were very in tuned to our timeline and made sure to get everyone set to go as close to the start time as possible. The ceremony went perfectly without a hitch, and I’ve been told that the cocktail hour was enjoyable (we were taking photos with our wedding party at that time). We thought the reception was fantastic—lots of great music and dancing and chatting, it was a really, really fun experience overall. The owners were aware of how the evening was progressing and made sure to stick to a schedule for when the meal/cake was served and when the speeches took place. At one point we needed to adjust the volume of the music and the big fan, which was easily done. The staff was great and very accommodating. They set the tables just as we’d asked—even trimming sprigs of rosemary for each plate—and the card box/place cards were presented beautifully. There were a few details missed in the setup, however: For example, flowers were supposed to be in the bathrooms with lit candles; our rooms/beds were not tidied during our stay; the brunch was supposed to be held in the main house but was instead in the reception hall). The overall experience was extremely positive though I wish that the owners had been a little easier to work with. There was some tension in coming to agreements on certain details of the course of events and it became stressful at times. One example: We were not told that we needed to find out if our guests were eating beef or fish until after the invitations were sent out, so we had to scramble to find out peoples’ orders 3 weeks before the wedding. It seemed the caterer should have been able to provide enough of each, as we’ve experienced when attending other peoples’ weddings. But all in all, we would not hesitate to recommend the Onteora Mountain House for a wedding. It’s a beautiful venue and the owners/staff will be sure to give you the mountain wedding of your dreams!

the best wedding they've ever been to. Throughout the planning process, Bob and Jeremy were quite good and responsive to my requests. We met with them three separate times (once to see the venue, once for the tasting, and once for the final meeting to discuss the final details). One thing to note: if you use this place, you most likely will need to hire buses. You will need to provide this logistical information to your guests - I'd recommend including that information in the invitations. We used Tonche Transit who were accomodating and fun (I have pictures of the singalong on the bus on the way home from the after party to prove it!). We started the weekend on Friday with the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner held on site. Despite my large and slightly unruly wedding party, Bob made sure everyone knew what to do and when to do it. The dinner was catered by Hickory Smokehouse and was delicious (especially the blackened catfish). On Saturday, Jeremy worked to make sure everything was coming together smoothly. We brought in hair stylists and got ready in the cottage. Jeremy and Bob coordinated with our vendors who were setting up while we got ready. Throughout the night, Bob and Jeremy worked to make sure all key events happened at the agreed upon times, and that we were present. (I was so excited, more than once Bob had to remind me that something was happening and I needed to return to my seat or the dance floor). We extended the party by an hour which was totally worth it. The food was excellent. Even though we did first look photos, we missed most of the cocktail hour. I'd recommend asking someone to make a plate for the bride and groom - both for appetizers and entrees. I didn't have one bite of either entree because I was so busy. We did hear that the entrees were out of this world from guests who raved about their dinners. We used the band Saints of Swing for the cocktail hour and first dance (very classy!), and then transitioned to Dave Leonard of JTD Productions (another seriously awesome professional who kept the dance floor jumping). Flowers were done by Dennis at the Green Cottage (beautiful) and photos by Kim Coccagnia (which are gorgeous!). All of our vendors worked together really well, which we appreciated. I would not have changed a thing.

They coordinated the rehearsal and the wedding with the professionalism of any experienced wedding coordinator! I can't say enough good things about this location!

ountain for anything. We had the rehearsal dinner there, the hair stylist came to my room, and we took pictures there. This made like so easy and simple. One place - done. The best was going to bed with a fireplace going one both nights and walking up to a wonderful view. It was completely surreal. I felt like a princess and onteora was my castle. Even if it was just 2 days. The breakfasts were excellent! Most of all Jeremy and Bob made it so easy and simple. We arrived, they took everything that was needed and it was all set for us the day of the wedding. Everything was seamless and perfect! I could not ask for a better backdrop for our wedding! We will visit every year on our anniversary. The work part was driving down the mountain to go back home. Thank you the most perfect wedding weekend I could have ever imagined!
