The Inn At West Settlement

Our family and friends are just coming down from our weekend high after celebrating my son's wedding. The Inn At West Settlement and the Catskills delivered! The agrarian setting in the mountains complete with their own flower gardens provided the most beautiful, peaceful setting. The dedicated staff saw that everything went off without a hitch. We highly recommend Kim and her crew. Gail S

Absolutely magical! Our wedding at The Inn At West Settlement was everything we dreamed of and more, and we owe much of that to the incredible venue and our coordinator, Kim. The venue itself is breathtaking, with its beautiful landscapes and elegant interiors providing the perfect backdrop for our special day. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by its charm and beauty. The attention to detail in the decor, the pristine grounds, and the stunning views made our wedding feel like a fairy tale. Kim, our coordinator, was nothing short of amazing. From our first meeting, she made us feel at ease and listened carefully to our vision. Her expertise and meticulous planning ensured that every detail was perfect. She was always available to answer our questions, offer suggestions, and provide support throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, Kim was a true maestro, orchestrating everything seamlessly and ensuring that we could simply enjoy every moment without a single worry. Thanks to Kim and the wonderful team at The Inn At West Settlement, our wedding day was truly unforgettable. The entire experience was beyond our expectations, and we couldn't be more grateful. We highly recommend The Inn At West Settlement and Kim to anyone looking for the perfect venue and an outstanding coordinator to make their wedding day magical.

We cannot overstate how thrilled we are with how our wedding at The Inn at West Settlement turned out! It was a dream location, more idyllic than anything we could have imagined, and 1000% worth the cost. It made for an absolutely magical wedding weekend. THE PROPERTY: The amazing thing about this venue is just how varied and spacious the property is, and how much access you have to every nook and cranny – they only book one wedding per weekend, so the idyllic property is all yours from Friday morning through Sunday afternoon! The farmhouse where we stayed is cozy and beautifully decorated, the barn where we held our reception is one-of-a-kind with its soaring rafters and natural, rustic finish, and the terrace and outdoor bar are perfect for the more casual hangs including rehearsal dinner on Friday night and cocktail hour on Saturday. The property not only allows for the seamless flow of guests but also encourages them to explore and take in the lush surroundings (there’s a firepit, lawn games, a glistening pond, stone walls galore, you name it). Everything manmade on the property is amazing, but perhaps the best aspect of this place is the breathtaking natural landscape. Located on a private dead end road, the venue is nestled in a sweet little valley surrounded by rolling hills, forest, and natural creeks. The views of the Catskills are to die for! There are multiple ceremony sites to choose from, and the backdrop for each is more gorgeous than the next. Countless guests and vendors (including our photographer, who shoots a wedding nearly every weekend) exclaimed that it was one of, if not the prettiest setting they’d ever been to for such an event. THE COORDINATOR/FLOWERS: Kim Lynas, who owns and operates this venue, also serves as the day-of coordinator, and she is wonderful to work with. She is calm, cool, and collected and brings a wealth of experience to the wedding planning process. She seamlessly handled our vendors day-of and ensured that everything stayed on schedule. Most impressively (in my book at least), she’s a Master Gardener, and maintains an outrageously abundant cultivated flower garden (a meadow, really) at the venue for you to hand pick your wedding flowers from! The flowers she has to choose from are beyond beautiful, there are so many of them, they are as local and sustainable as you can get, and they come at no extra cost. My mom, sister, and I created our own bouquets and designed the boutonnieres, and Kim was a supportive, patient, and fun teacher throughout the process. This Friday midday activity was one of my favorite moments of the whole weekend. We fell in love with this venue during our very first visit, and we could not be happier with our choice. Give this place a try – you won’t regret it!

The Inn at West Settlement was the most perfect wedding venue we could have ever imagined. My husband and I were fortunate to be married here on 10/15/22, and we had the most incredible ceremony and reception. We were completely taken in from the first time we visited the property and knew immediately it was the right fit for us. The location is so peaceful and absolutely breathtaking surrounded by the mountains and we were blessed with gorgeous weather and stunning foliage. Our family and friends LOVED the venue and location, and we are still receiving so many compliments on how beautiful everything was! One of our favorite aspects of the venue was being able to stay in the gorgeous farmhouse on the property with our immediate families. We didn’t have to worry about getting to the venue on the day of and we could really enjoy spending extra time all together. We also really wanted the opportunity to host a weekend of events to spend as much time as possible with all our guests, so we were able to host a welcome dinner and farewell breakfast at the barn as well. Kim was TERRIFIC to work with. She and her team clearly take pride in this property; they make it shine in the best light possible. We loved every single person who worked with us throughout preparation and during the weekend. Everyone was so polite and welcoming and easy to collaborate with. Kim has fantastic taste and we completely trusted all her suggestions. We worked with the majority of her recommended vendors and that was a huge benefit – everything ran so smoothly and, if any adjustments were needed, they were quickly and efficiently modified. Everything went perfectly. There were SO MANY details that made this venue stand out to us, but I will list a few. Kim also worked with us for the flowers, and we were thrilled with how they came together! The natural beauty of the space meant that very little added decoration was needed and there is a prop closet with items to repurpose for centerpieces, candle holders, chalk boards, seating chart displays, etc. This was an immense help when planning because we did not have to bring all these items with us. There were also several small touches that made the barn feel really personal and homey – the gorgeous farm tables (they are so beautiful that no runners or tablecloths are needed), mismatched chairs, assorted vintage china for the place settings, and we were able to set up some lawn games for the cocktail hour. I clearly could go on and on about how wonderful The Inn at West Settlement is! We couldn’t have found a more perfect place. It was an honor to host our special occasion at such a remarkable venue.
