Premier Wedding Venue in the Catskill Mountains

Windham Manor was truly the perfect venue for our wedding, and we cannot recommend it enough! It was only the second venue we visited, and after seeing it, we found ourselves comparing every other venue to Windham Manor. From the moment we first met them, Susan and Barry were incredibly helpful, responsive, and generous with their time. They were always available to answer our questions, offer suggestions, and help us bring our ideas to life. The pricing is very reasonable for the incredible space and level of service they provide. The mansion was everything we could have hoped for. We had our bridal party and some family stay with us, and it was the perfect place to spend the wedding weekend together. Despite having so many people there, it never felt cramped, and there was always something to do, whether it was playing ping pong downstairs, having a fire outside, or enjoying massages and pedicures in the spa. Karen, the house manager, was also absolutely wonderful. She went above and beyond to keep the house tidy, helped set up our rehearsal dinner, picked up food, helped with our farewell brunch, and was always there whenever we needed anything. And then there is the venue itself. The first time we walked into the barn, it literally took our breath away, and it was so much fun seeing our family and friends have the exact same reaction when they first walked in. The ceremony area in the “Enchanted Forest” is truly beyond words and was one of the most talked-about parts of the wedding by our guests. Susan and Barry have clearly put an incredible amount of work, thought, and love into creating Windham Manor, and it shows in every detail. There were even so many little things that came up on our wedding day that they handled without us ever having to ask, which made us feel like we were getting the royal treatment. Windham Manor made our dream wedding a reality, and we truly cannot imagine our wedding anywhere else. We are incredibly grateful to Susan, Barry, Karen, and the entire Windham Manor team for making our wedding weekend so special. It would not have been the same without them!

And many thanks to all of the wonderful vendors; Karen- draping and lighting, Lisa -flowers, Erica - photography, Fire Candy Catering.
All of you make wedding dreams truly come true!

Everything was beautiful, there were no lines waiting for drinks, the dance floor was perfect, and every staff member was wonderful. If you’re having doubts or considering another venue upstate, stop now and get your date at Windham Manor.

hanted Forest, had cocktail hour on the lawn, and our reception in the barn. Everything flowed seamlessly and with ~110 guests, the layout was perfect.
Although Windham is a small town, it’s easy for guests to find places to stay and things to explore. We did our rehearsal dinner in town and hosted our Sunday brunch at the on-site house. Susan and Barry were wonderful, checking in with us and giving us time to settle in on Thursday. They also offered a variety of decor items such as candles, vases, runners, etc., which made setting up our reception easy and stress-free.
We stayed with our wedding party at the house onsite and this really helped make our weekend extra special. We loved having our wedding party with us to hang out and catch up, and to facilitate our after party. Our house manager, Karen, was incredible. She was extremely thoughtful, attentive, and always anticipating what we needed. She checked in throughout the day with even small things like water, coffee, or food. She helped the weekend feel calm and effortless.
From the moment we first visited, we knew Windham Manor was our number one choice and it did not disappoint!

All of our house guests were extremely satisfied with the support they had received from Teri throughout the weekend. This venue has it all, as we were able to host our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception and after party on the property. We still think about the weekend often and many people remind us of how much fun they had being a part of the weekend. We can not thank Barry, Susan, Teri, and Karen enough for having us and creating an unforgettable experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives.

forest that the ceremony was performed, this venue has it all. They have thought of everything, there wasn't a thing that wasn't covered. It was a magical experience and we highly recommend Windham Manor for any wedding, or large corporate event. The manor came with two house managers that were AAAHHmazing! They took such good care of us, Karen was there Thursday and Friday, we arrived with all the food for the weekend and she put it all away and then cooked for us, prepared breakfast and lunch, rehearsal dinner was beautiful, tables were set and food was ready when we were. Teri took over Saturday and Sunday and again, food was all out and ready to eat when we asked it to be ready. When it was time to leave sunday, Teri made sandwiches and togo packages for those who needed them, then packed up all the leftovers. The house managers were the best investment of the wedding. As MOB I didn't have to worry about a thing at the manor. Barry Smith was a doll, telling us all that we needed to know about the golf cart pick up schedule, he even videoed moments before the wedding and during the reception, that the photographer didn't capture, plus it was nice to have those quickly, as we are still waiting for photographers pics. Thank you Windham Manor for a truly magical experience.

Many of our guests approached us throughout the night and told us how beautiful Windham Manor is! If you want to get married in the Catskills choose Windham Manor!! You’ll have an unforgettable, relaxing and amazing wedding!

r the entire weekend gave us a chance to actually enjoy the company of our friends and family. Our wedding weekend was a perfect celebration rather than just one night in a catering hall. We held our rehearsal dinner at the manor and had welcome drinks in town at a local bar. We then got ready right at the manor and got married down in the enchanted forest. Everything was absolutely perfect and effortless, and I got so many compliments from my guests.
There are also house managers who take such good care of you and make the weekend truly stress-free. They did everything from ironing my bridesmaids' pajamas to setting up breakfast and lunch every day. They even set up my rehearsal dinner and assisted with my after-party.
If you want an unforgettable wedding with memories to last a lifetime, I would have your wedding at Windham Manor

The enchanted forest was the perfect spot for our ceremony despite it being quite chilly. Windham Manor provides so much flexibility since you bring in all of your own vendors. They did provide a thorough list of recommendations to help you start looking for vendors. The owners, Barry and Susan were so friendly and helpful throughout the entire planning process as well as the wedding weekend. Karen, the house manager went above and beyond to make the weekend run smoothly. She picked up our grocery order prior to our arrival and had the house stocked and ready for us when we arrived. From setting up and cleaning up the rehearsal dinner as well as the after party, she was incredible! Windham Manor exceeded all expectations!

he manor on the property and Karen the house manager is a star. The vendors we worked with most of which we found at the bridal expo Windham Manor hosts were okay, but have lots of experience with the venue. The issues we ran into were more so on the vendors, not the venue. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a space that can hold 100-500 guests with an outdoor ceremony, multiple weather options, and that rustic modern charm. Its even more beautiful when an event is happening.

chanted Forest, Cocktail Hour on the lawn & reception inside.
To start: I could not imagine our wedding weekend without celebrating at the house all weekend long. It gave us a safe, comfortable, and fun setting to make even more memories with our friends & family. Teri is an absolute angel & was the talk of our family at the end of the weekend. She is truly a miracle worker - from making coffee & breakfast for everyone to blow drying the boy's shirts as they sweat through them during photos - we cannot thank her enough!
The venue itself has anything and everything you need. The barn is well situated and the enchanted forest is an absolute must. The way the light comes through during the ceremony is truly - enchanting. The pictures and moments from that day around the property we will cherish for a lifetime. The team there makes the day seamless & easy to enjoy every second.
If you are looking for a weekend of festivities in a comfortable and professionally tailored venue this is it. I guarantee it will make for a weekend to remember!

hat. My husband and I spent days searching for the perfect venue. Each one had elements we liked, but none fully checked all our boxes—until we stepped foot in Windham Manor. The moment we entered their stunning barn, already set up for a wedding that day, we knew this was where we had to get married.
And yet, that was just the beginning. As we toured the breathtaking manor house and wandered through the enchanted forest, we realized we had discovered the crown jewel of the Catskills. We were in awe.
When our wedding day finally arrived, Windham Manor surpassed every expectation we had. Guests of all ages couldn’t stop raving about the enchanted forest, calling it the most beautiful wedding site they had ever seen. Susan, Barry, and their amazing team didn’t just create a venue—they created a masterpiece. We can't thank them enough for making our wedding day feel truly magical.

ts of infrastructure such as hotels, restaurants etc so it is super accessible and easy for guests. You get the beauty of the Catskills without needing to sacrifice convenience! The venue is really amazing. The natural feel of the barn is breathtaking and since it is mostly a uniform wood look, you can dress it up or keep it as simple as you’d like. The outdoor wooded ceremony area is absolutely jaw dropping. The backdrop of the woods and the stream trickling by is an unmatched space to share your most intimate feelings for your significant other. My guests were floored by the absolute stunning gem that this venue is. On top of everything, the house on premises is incredible! We stayed there with the wedding party and hosted our rehearsal dinner & after party there as well. I can’t begin to tell you how amazing the staff is. Teri and Karen are so sweet & extremely helpful in organizing food at the house, events and just helping with anything you need! Susan and Barry (owners) were so easy to work with. They were prompt with answering any questions throughout the process and were always there to help out. They truly have thought of everything you can think of for a wedding venue and made it the perfect place for such a special occasion. I can’t thank them enough and my only hope is that I am invited to a wedding there in the near future so I can enjoy the magic of Windham Manor once again!

worked so well with me/my wedding planner to create the best plan of action for a big indian wedding!
The barn's interior gives a lovely, rustic vibe and allows guests to feel cozy and comfortable. The outside area has beautiful, unforgettable views and plenty of space for cocktail hour. We had some specific layout requests and Susan worked hard with us to create a floor plan that we were happy with. The house next to the barn is available for rent the night after your wedding, the house is roomy and beautiful, some of our family stayed the night and we had an intimate brunch the next day, which was the perfect way to end the weekend. We had a completely unforgettable experience at Windham Manor and will remember it for years to come. I would absolutely recommend having your wedding here. This venue does comes as a raw space, so you may have to arrange for some additional things such as waiters, servers, dishware, napkins, etc., however it is well worth it!

Windham Manor is a dream. From the minute you arrive on property for your tour to the minute you leave after the best weekend of your life (because you will book your wedding here ...
if you do tour), there is not a stone left unturned by this amazing staff. Susan and Barry are so beyond welcoming and loving, it’s beyond evident how much they care about each couple and how much time they dedicate to making sure their property is flawless and easily, second to none. They make you feel like family in the best way.
We had our wedding party stay at the manor and it was hands down the BEST experience. We had time to just truly enjoy our people over the long weekend and it made for the best time to decompress prior to the big day. It’s rare to find a spot for every single one of your best friends to stay together and to have it be your wedding weekend was next level. There are multiple ceremony spots you can choose from but our favorite & where we chose was in the woods. So many of our guests were in awe and I cannot count on both hands how many times we heard how incredible the venue was from each of our guests. Not only is Windham Manor the most gorgeous spot to get married, it is SO convenient no matter which ceremony spot you choose having everything on property just a short walk away to the barn.
Lastly, there are absolutely NO words to give the house manager Karen, justice. Karen is BEYOND incredible at what she does and an overall amazing human. She is a step ahead of you with whatever you need - there were times where I’d be asking her for something and before I finished my sentence, it was there. I am still getting texts from our friends saying how much they miss her. She has a way of keeping everything in order with a calm and gentle presence. She is beyond accommodating and makes sure everything in the house runs smoothly, which isn’t easy when there’s 30 people - yet she makes it look so easy. We go on forever about Karen, truly - but you’ll just have to book to see for yourself!!!
We would choose Windham Manor all over again, everyday of our lives!!!

They thought of everything and helped make sure everyone staying in the house had everything they needed.

The spacious interior did not disappoint, with beautiful bedrooms, a modern restaurant-quality kitchen, and an inviting common area with fireplace. One of the highlights of our experience was the presence of Karen Fox, the dedicated house manager at Windham Manor. Karen's warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail were simply unparalleled. Throughout our three-day stay, she went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our wedding weekend ran smoothly. Her ability to anticipate our needs and address any concerns made us feel truly cared for, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment without worrying about the logistics. The wedding barn event space was nothing short of breathtaking. Its rustic charm, coupled with modern amenities, provided the perfect setting for our ceremony and reception. The attention to detail in the design and decor was evident, and our guests were in awe of the beauty surrounding them. If you're looking for the perfect setting for the wedding of your dreams, look no further than Windham Manor. Trust us; you won't be disappointed.

stunning - from the venue to the cozy house where we stayed. It was the perfect combination for the type of wedding Nick and I wanted to have. We were able to get married in a beautiful place while we hosted our friends and family in a house next door. Windham Manor provides a unique opportunity to truly create the wedding of your dreams. It is a beautiful space you get to fill with talented vendors in the area and then ultimately fill that space with people you both love. I cannot express how perfect our weekend was! It brings the biggest smile to my face every time (aka multiple times every single day) I think about it!

endly, and they can really make any dream you have come true. Susan was extremely communicative and available throughout the entire process to recommend vendors, ideas, last minute pivots. Our day of coordinator tested positive for Covid 48 hours before our wedding and Susan had a replacement of someone trusted by the venue within a few hours of receiving the news. The property and venue are beautiful, comfortable and unique, but what really makes it special is that your wedding feels like an entire weekend of celebrating with your loved ones. The Windham Manor house was beyond convenient, cozy and extremely special, housing 25 people of our closest friends and family on the venue property. At the house, is a house manager (we had Karen & Terri, we LOVED them) who helps the entire weekend so you can enjoy and not feel like you are managing the logistics of everything. Overall, the house service, communication and accommodations were beyond expectations.
Although the forest and grounds are absolutely beautiful -do not sleep on a winter wedding here! We held our ceremony inside the barn for our ceremony in front of the fireplace and it felt extremely intimate, cozy and magical. It was also 50 degrees on December 2nd so we were able to utilize the outside patio with fire heaters for our cocktail hour. So many of our vendors, who work across multiple venues in the North East, described Windham Manor as the best wedding venue they ever worked at. Could not recommend this venue more for your wedding!

We enjoyed the full wedding experience by hosting our bridal party at the Windham Manor Mansion for the entire weekend. The Mansion is stunning and accommodating to all guests and additional events. The staff at the Mansion was exceptional. Teri was absolutely phenomenal. All the food was beautifully prepared and she made sure each guest was attended to. She went out of her way to accommodate my Gluten Free dietary restriction and made the entire weekend absolutely perfect. There is nothing she couldn’t do! Special thank you to Karen for helping us set up and all the amazing work she did in getting the Mansion ready for guests. We are truly grateful for our amazing experience at the Mansion and all of our guests were so impressed.
Susan and Barry Smith were amazing hosts who went above and beyond to make sure our wedding weekend was perfect. Susan was wonderful to work with and she made sure that our dream wedding came to life. Her dedication to making this venue absolute perfect wedding destination is apparent as she guided us through the entire wedding process. She provided us with a preferred vendor list which made the planning process so much easier. All of her recommendations were excellent and we couldn’t be happier with our choices. Susan and Barry were very accommodating to my family and friends during the entire weekend. We are very grateful for all of Barry’s help on our wedding weekend. He was running around for us with last minute requests, helping family, taking photos, and much more! We really can’t thank Susan and Barry enough for everything and making sure our wedding was perfect.
The whole Windham Manor Team felt like family on the day of our wedding and I could not be happier with our experience!

Not even sure how to start this review, because honestly it's hard to put into words how special this venue is! All I can say is our wedding was perfect because of Susan and Barry ...
(owners) put their heart and soul into this venue and personalize each wedding that works with them. This venue wouldn't be what it is without their top notch management + team, and its a well oiled machine. I am still speechless from our wedding! If you are between two places, I promise you this one is better than the other ;)

f. The owners Susan and Barry are the nicest and most incredible people we have ever met. They have done such an amazing job with the venue and make sure everything is beyond perfect. They are so easy going and let you customize, or do anything you want while you are staying there and for the wedding.
Our family and bachelor parties all stayed at the mansion on the property from Thursday to Sunday. I highly suggest doing this because the house is amazing and it makes the wedding weekend feel so much longer. The house is amazing and the property is beautiful.
The Windham Manor staff is phenomenal, truly. Karen was there to welcome us Thursday morning and helped us with literally anything and everything we needed. She made calls to order things for us, helped package coolers, clean the house etc. She is so great! Karen left Friday night and then Terri came to fill in and she was also beyond incredible! They were extremely nice and beyond helpful. The weekend would not have been as perfect without Karen and Terri.
The day of the wedding was perfect, the staff was so amazing and Susan and Barry run a tight shift to make sure all goes perfectly. We had the ceremony in the enchanted forest and our guests were stunned. This led to the cocktail hour and the reception which was the best party we have ever been to, and our guests are saying the same! The place is just beautiful and will definitely be the best wedding we will ever go to strictly because of how amazing this venue is.
We highly recommend the Windham Manor. There truly is no other place like it.

end so that we and our families could just soak in the happiness knowing they had everything in check. The Manor house was the perfect home base for the weekend and venue for our rehearsal dinner, welcome party, after party, and brunch. Karen took such great care of everything so that, even with all of those weekend events, we all had time to relax before the wedding day. We cannot recommend Windham Manor enough.

We had our wedding at Windham Manor on 07/15/23 and I cannot rave enough about this venue. I have been to over 30+ weddings and have been at various types of venues and this by fa...
r the absolute best venue. From the enchanted forest ceremony space next to the running creek, to the beautiful outdoor cocktail space overlooking the mountains, to the incredibly gorgeous barn for the reception, and the amazing house for the bridal party to stay at, everything was simply magical.
While it is a beyond gorgeous and unique space, what really made the weekend was the staff running the place. Susan, Barry, Jenn, Karen, and every person who works at Windham manor makes sure that everything had been meticulously thought out and ran smoothly from start to finish. They are all friendly, accommodating, organized, and innovative. They have thought of every last detail to make the weekend special and are willing to make everything and anything work in order to assure the best weekend possible. And let me tell you, it was the absolute best weekend of our lives.
A special acknowledgement to Teri the house manager who all weekend made sure that we didn't have to worry about one single thing while staying at the house. She cooked meals for us, cleaned up after the rehearsal dinner and after party, lef tout waters and snacks every night that we came home, and was available before the weekend to help guide us on what to bring and how to make the weekend run more smoothly. She is truly a saint and this weekend would not have been as effortless if it wasn't for her.
Three weeks later and I still have guests who cannot stop raving about Windham Manor and all the wonderful people who made this weekend possible. The staff was so friendly and accommodating that most of my guests (all 160 of them) knew the staff by name. All of my guests have said that this is truly the greatest venue they've ever been to.
If you are considering Windham Manor as your venue, run don't walk to book it!

ul to host our family and friends for events and everyone was so impressed. We LOVED having our ceremony in the woods and did not see any other venue with such a unique set up like that. Barry and Susan (the owners) are very responsive and helpful throughout the planning process and the weekend of. They are overall wonderful people and well connected in the Windham community which helps find vendors. They helped us find some of our bigger vendors but also a dog sitter and babysitter. The house manager, Teri, was incredible too. It really helped having her to take the stress of myself or my mom to constantly clean up and set things out. If you are thinking about having your wedding here, do it!!

Terry, who manages the mansion, will make certain you and your mansion guests have whatever they need-from house food planning to last minute bridal details. I can’t begin to describe how fantastic the wedding was in this fantastic setting. Go there once; and you’ll fall in love with this very unique place. You will have to pick your own caterers, but Susan will guide you to the right people based on the type of foods you prefer.

ering of family and friends. The barn was charming and rustic yet elegant with plenty of space. The grounds are full of natural beauty. But what won our hearts was the ceremony site in the woods. Between the water running through it, the stunning wooden benches, the curved aisle, and the evergreen trees, it truly is a scene from a fairytale. We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather and were able to get married in the woods followed by cocktail hour on the patio of the barn and our reception in the barn - all of our guests absolutely loved it. Many even said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. We were concerned our guests would have a hard time finding it or getting there but that did not seem to be an issue. The owners are very nice people and they really have thought of everything. They are wedding experts.

There’s really not anything I could write that would tell you just how amazing Windham Manor is. My husband and I looked at two venues, and even though Windham Manor was the first ...
venue we saw on our wedding journey, we knew it was the one! The barn is an absolutely stunning place for a great wedding reception that is a perfect canvas for whatever your vision may be. The surrounding scenery is breathtaking and each ceremony space highlights different aspects of its beauty, though we are totally partial to the enchanted forest (which we were able to use the first weekend of November)! Susan and Barry are some of the most welcoming, helpful, and attentive people you will ever meet. From our first visit all the way through our wedding day, I had no doubt that they were there to make our wedding absolutely perfect with their suggestions, recommendations, and joy of sharing their space. While there is so much about the Manor that makes it incredible, the ability to turn our wedding into a whole weekend full of friends, family, and joy is what really made it the perfect venue for us. It was so fun to stay in the manor with our bridal party and since we were able to host our rehearsal dinner, welcome party, after party, and brunch at the house, every element of our wedding was like a personal gathering we were hosting for our loved ones. Teri was absolutely instrumental to the fun of our wedding weekend! She was everyone’s mom: cleaning up, cooking, chatting, and ensuring that every single thing went smoothly. There is no way I could even convey her kindness, energy, and ability to emulate complete calm amidst chaos. Just know that if you are booking Windham Manor, be sure you book Teri, too! Karen did everything from lugging ice for our kegs to acting as bartender at our rehearsal dinner. Jen helped us gather everything we needed from the shed and turn the barn into an absolute vision. Every single person we worked with at Windham Manor went above and beyond to make our wedding weekend the best weekend of our lives. If you are even considering this venue, make it happen! Your wedding will be a dream come true.

t's the perfect reception venue and ceremony site if you need to do it indoors. We did our ceremony outdoors in the Enchanted Forest and it was SO beautiful and picturesque. Susan and Barry, the owners of the Windham Manor, are incredible. Not only are they the nicest people, but they truly care and were there for us every step of the way. They go above and beyond for each couple, every weekend, and I really don't know how they do it! In addition to the amazing Barn and Enchanted Forest, there is a house on the property that we all stayed at for the weekend, and it was such a unique component - everyone loved it. We had a house manager, TERI!!!, for the weekend who did everything for us, cooked, cleaned, (helped me with my dress and get everywhere the day of the wedding!), she did it all and she is simply the best. We had our rehearsal at the house and Karen was there to help as well and she was so amazing too. I cannot say enough incredible things about Windham Manor and the people there who made our wedding weekend a magical experience that we will never forget. We cannot thank them enough!

People often say that your wedding day goes by in the blink of an eye and to take it all in because it goes so fast, and I can now confidently say that is not the case at Windham M...
anor. We got married on October 1st at Windham Manor and spent four days immersed in the love of our family and friends. I would do the weekend all over again a million times if I could. This venue gave us the perfect format to spend time with our immediate families, visit with grandparents, party with our bridal party, visit with guests from near and far and overall have an unforgettable wedding. Our families and friends have not stopped talking about it and have done nothing but rave about Windham Manor, the house, the barn, the staff and the all-around attention to detail and spectacular setup that Susan and Barry have created.
When I say they thought of it all, they truly thought of it all, and then some! Susan and Barry went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and were happy from the second we stepped foot on the property to the second we left (in tears because we didn’t want it to end). Don’t even get me started on the enchanted forest ceremony site. It is truly a fairytale to walk down the aisle in that setting. It felt like we stepped into another world and were solely in that moment. The house where our entire bridal party stayed for the weekend is incredible, so much space for everyone, well equipped, immaculate, and updated. Teri the house manager who we now like to refer to as our house mom, is a one-of-a-kind human being. Teri thought of things before we even knew we needed them. She was exceptional!
This venue holds a very special places in our hearts and we cannot wait to visit for years to come. It truly was the best weekend of our lives. Thank you to Susan, Barry, Sam, Teri, Karen, Jen, the security team, and everyone else that helped make our big day the absolute best!
If you are looking for a weekend long wedding surrounded by all your loved ones, this is the BEST place for you! I will forever recommend Windham Manor to anyone and everyone!

cess as a whole. We ended up also renting the mansion on the property for the weekend. The space is immaculate and breathtaking. The barn in itself is a masterpiece. We got married at the Enchanted Forest and it was a dream come true.
The mansion allowed us to spend several days with the people that mean the most to us before our big day.
Barry and Susan helped out so much too. Even leading up to our big day, they had no problem answering out 1,000 questions and helping with vendor recommendations.
If you are thinking of booking, don't hesitate!

I could not say more about our wedding weekend at Windham Manor. Our goal for the weekend was to get to the venue and throw away the car keys for the weekend...and we did just that...
. We were able to host our rehearsal dinner, welcome drinks, wedding reception, and after party all from the Manor & Barn. Susan & Barry were amazing leading up to the wedding making sure all details were in place so our event ran seamlessly, and even made sure to help us with décor, vendor tips, and suggestions for the big day. All the vendors Windham recommended were excellent and helped pull together an amazing event, especially Terri (the house manager for the weekend)! I am so sad the wedding is over, in a big part because I won't be at the beautiful Windham Manor anymore and won't be working with this amazing team. If you are looking for a barn style wedding in the Hudson Valley, you TRULY can't get better than Windham Manor. All our guests said it was the best wedding they ever attended!

We will never get over how amazing our wedding weekend was at the Windham Manor. Initially what drew us in was the house. We are always hosting our friends at our home and wanted t...
o find a place where we could all stay together for the weekend. The house offers so much - tons of rooms and space, hiking trails, beautiful yard and views, fire pits, etc. Since it is right next to the barn, it made unpacking wedding decor/details, our rehearsal, and clean up one less logistical thing we had to think about. The house manager, Terri, was everything we didn't know we needed - she coordinated our rehearsal dinner set up, drop catering arrivals, cleaned up, set back up in the morning, took the best care of us all weekend long, and the list goes on. Aside from her unforgettable help, we also really enjoyed having her around as an honorary friend and were so sad to leave her! Our time spent at the house with our friends and family will be remembered as just as special as our wedding day.
We visited the property before the barn was even complete, and even then knew it was going to be unbelievable. Susan and Barry are true visionaries and you can tell that their hearts are poured into every detail of the barn. When they told us all of the additional details they would have completed by the time of our wedding (a pond, second ceremony space, landscaping, waterfalls, etc.) we didn't think it was possible - but they delivered and then some! The barn will truly blow you away. Susan and Barry will blow you away. They are incredible people with an incredible space who genuinely love what they are doing. We know they will just keep making it better and better somehow.
Some noteworthy specifics from our experience: The weather anticipated torrential rain only in the exact window our ceremony was supposed to take place, so we had to make the call in the early afternoon to set up inside instead of outside. What we thought was an unfortunate situation actually ended up being our favorite part of the day. The indoor ceremony was stunning and romantic and felt so intimate, even with 210 guests. We might have missed out on the guests' big reveal of the space, but having everyone cozied in during the storm made for a really personal feeling that we will always be grateful for- long, sappy story short: it was the best plan B for our ceremony we could have asked for and we wished it were plan A from the beginning. Another thing we were very grateful for was how flexible Susan and Barry were with our needs and timing. They allowed us and our decor vendor to set up on Thursday instead of Saturday morning which elevated a lot of stress. We were able to know that everything was just how we envisioned and could enjoy the weekend. Extras: There are tons of hotels and airbnbs close by for out of town guests. Lots local catering options for weekend-long hosting. The views in Windham are unmatched for the Catskills. The town is adorable. You won't want to leave.
Overall, our experience with the Windham Manor was a dream. We hope to return as much as possible and wish only the best for Susan and Barry and their family.

Where do we even begin? As a DJ company traveling all throughout the tri-state area, we come across venues of all shapes, sizes, and qualities! From the moment you arrive at Windha...
m Manor, quite simply, it's magical. From the breathtaking grounds in the area, to the incredible Ceremony area down by the creek, tying it all together inside their INSANE Barn, the detail and magic is amazing. Just from the moment you step in the barn, you can sense how different that feel is.
From a vendor's perspective, we often work alongside many different teams and leadership at each venue. One thing I can tell you wholeheartedly is that you are getting one of the most genuine crews around headed up by Barry their owner. To tell you he greeted us with a smile from start to finish, he worked alongside us, and made our jobs as easy as possible, I can truly say we have not worked alongside a more kind and accommodating venue.
While I can go on and on about all of the wonderful things Windham Manor has to offer, I'll keep it simple. Stop your search and book them. In a very competitive venue environment, you have found a hidden gem in Windham, NY. Barry, his team, and everything else about Windham will help make your dream wedding a reality. To everyone at Windham Manor, we are looking forward to many more incredible memories together for years to come!
Thank you from the Treble & Bass Productions team!

able to stay in the house on-site (it’s incredibly beautiful; everyone was blown away) which made the rehearsal dinner and wedding day way less stressful. Terri, the house manager, was also absolutely fantastic getting things ready for the rehearsal dinner at the house, cleaning up, and helping us the morning of. The barn itself is also stunning. We could have done no decorations whatsoever and it still would have looked amazing because the building is just that beautiful. I would highly recommend!
