After my first visit with my wife to escape the daily grind and surprise her with a romantic weekend, we returned with the kids a second time and had a ball. This is heaven on Earth for us, and not so far away from NYC. The grounds are magical and the compound has everything we needed, including wood for the raging fire we made. Thanks to the owners for treating us special.

Lois radiates such kindness and passion that we instantly knew we were talking to the person who would best capture the essence of our love story. After our first meeting, we realized we didn’t want to wait another year to be husband and wife. We asked Lois if she could marry us on October 6th, exactly one year from the date we had chosen for our upcoming wedding celebration, and to our surprise, she was more than happy to do so! We eloped at Harmony Gardens, the beautiful home and property of Lois, her kind husband, and their two adorable springers. It was a short, sweet ceremony and was more than we ever imagined because it was officiated by Lois. Going into the ceremony shared among family and friends, we wanted an alternative to traditional wedding vows. Lois not only understood our vision but also exceeded our expectations by crafting something that felt as intimate and heartfelt as if we had written it ourselves, if not even better. Her words captured the depth of our connection, the humor and quirks of our relationship, and were a true reflection of our love story. To be joined together once more by this remarkable person in the presence of our loved ones made our special day even more meaningful and unforgettable. Thank you for everything, Lois!

Our wedding was the most perfect day and Hanover Grande ballroom and their staff were a huge part of that! We originally had our wedding set for 4.3.21 but with COVID restrictions for guest capacity, they were extremely accommodating. We were able to choose our new date 4.9.22 seamlessly! The planning was stress free. Michele and Kathi were extremely responsive to all of my questions! Not only was everything leading up to the wedding great, our wedding day was truly perfect. Our bartender, Alex, was personable and connected with all of our guests! The entire staff that night were so nice and professional! Food was amazing! The gazebo and grounds made for the perfect spring photos too! My husband and I have no complaints! Highly recommend!

Awarded Best of Zola
Coming from NYC, we had our eyes set on an indoor-outdoor venue that could capture the beauty of the Catskills region. We spent many weekends visiting venues and when we stepped into Wildflower on Watts we immediately knew that it was the one. Their entire property is meticulously designed from their landscaping to the barn architecture. Start to finish the experience was as amazing as their property. Bethany, who runs Wildflower, is the sweetest and kindest person I’ve ever worked with, which is something that was shared with all of our vendors and anyone that spoke with her. She helped us throughout the process and was incredibly patient with all of the little things we asked her about. The day of the wedding was perfect and we utilized everything they offered. We had an amazing landscaped backdrop for our outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour then enjoyed the night with dinner and dancing in their barn. Everything was perfect and couldn’t recommend this venue more. Thank you!
