We got married there in October 2024 and it was nothing short of amazing.  The place was stunning and the staff was AMAZING.  Cristie was Wonderfull and helped us so much in the preparation of the day and so did the bar manager, Shannon. But where the venue shines is the day of the event.  Cristie and her team work hard to help make your day happen and it was obvious the effort they put in to make sure your day is exactly the way you want.  They went over and beyond on multiple occasions to accommodate our requests!   I highly recommend having your next event/wedding at drowned lands.

Factoria is a wonderful option if you are looking for an all-inclusive package in an industrial feeling venue outside of the city, with beautiful views of the Hudson River, and amazing food and drinks.The layout facilitates a lovely flow from arrival to ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception. Megan, the venue coordinator, was on top of everything and very involved in the planning and execution of our wedding. She is clearly experienced and helped everything move along seamlessly. She was available for questions and also offered input on various aspects of the wedding. Our entire experience from beginning to end was amazing: from touring the space for the first time, going in to the restaurant for our tasting, up until the day after our wedding when we picked up the leftover food that they packed for us without us even having to ask, along with all of our decorations and leftover items that they held for us. The food was amazing, as were the drinks and the service. The servers were very attentive to us as well as friendly and engaging. Our guests enjoyed everything, especially the concept of the lazy susan at each table for family style dinner. We are so happy we did not have to worry about very much Meghan and her team took care of everything, and even the chef at the tasting was incredibly involved, offering to tweak some of the menu items for us to accommodate for our culture and dietary concerns, and really make sure that our menu was what we wanted for our guests and for ourselves and our vision of our wedding. We would recommend anyone have their wedding here.

He had great recommendations for vendors, was very communicative and accommodating, and made the whole process so easy. We also loved that our friends could camp at the venue, which made figuring out transportation a lot easier. Lastly, the venue itself was so beautiful!

My wife and I had the pleasure of attending an event at this beautiful site. The suite they offered was on a private floor and had a spacious and exeptionally clean bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living area. The outside grounds included small bodies of water, one with a bridge to a small island. The island had a gazebo and sacred site where we sat and meditated together. We felt so at peace as we enjoyed a light breeze coming through the willow tress. There were many lounging areas with hammocks, rocking chairs, and even a large fire places outside the pool house. We can't be more grateful for our experience here as my wife and I reached a new level of intimacy with each other. The hosts we were very accommodating and made us feel at home. We can't recommend this place enough!

If you have visited the Foundry, you know how amazing and beautiful it is, but what you don’t know before you work with them is how responsive and helpful they are once you have committed to them. We had about 130 guests and used the main room for the ceremony, the greenhouse room and space outside for the cocktail hour, the courtyard for the reception dinner, the main room again for the dancing, and the greenhouse room again for the after party (11 to midnight). We also rented the Du Val suite for getting ready, and it was a superb space for the groom’s party and extended family to get ready and hang out and also has the most beautiful garden with city views. Our wedding was absolutely amazing and vindicated our immediate love for the Foundry that we developed the first time we toured it, and the Foundry staff are extremely helpful and kind.

This historic Japanese garden and summer cottage were built at the turn of the last century. A private estate spanning 125 acres of gardens, fields, streams, mountains and trails, it has remained in the same family all this time. The garden is recognized as an important example of the Japanese “strolling” garden from that era. Because the estate remains in private hands, it is made available by the family for special occasions on a limited basis (2-3 ceremonies per year) The venue includes the Japanese garden and the surrounding meadows and fields. If you are looking for a location for a formal wedding ceremony and reception or a destination wedding site for enjoyment with guests over a long weekend of fun, hiking, fly-fishing etc., this venue offers rare access to an exclusive, one-of-a-kind destination. We have partnered with the Frost Valley YMCA to provide lodging with hotel like accommodations and transportation for wedding parties to and from the estate.

Working on an estate always holds a special place as a photographer. There's something unique about being on a property that a family holds near and dear to their heart, and you can tell that thought and care is put into every detail and every space, honoring where they came from and embracing what's ahead. When I familiarized myself with the property upon arrival I was continuously met with various opportunities to take gorgeous portraits, and I used each of them to really tell the story of where we were and the wedding we were celebrating. The grounds are beautifully kept and the tented reception complimented the property perfectly. If you're looking for a unique venue that is understated but nonetheless special, this is the place for you.

The Barn on Hubbard was absolutely perfect in every way. We were married there in October 2018 and could not have asked for a better experience. The Barn's scenery in the Fall, set on a back road on a sprawling hill is to die for and made for wonderful photo opportunities. The Barn has beautiful natural lighting, a very cool bar built into an old silo, a great outdoor patio and a large lawn space perfect for games and activities. The best part about the Barn on Hubbard was that we were free to bring in all of our own vendors and decorate however we wanted, which helped us tremendously with cost savings. This wasn't your typical cookie-cutter venue where it is overpriced, one-stop shopping. We are from the city, so we thought it would be challenging to plan a wedding about 2 hours way, but Sara went above and beyond the call of duty. She provided excellent recommendations, was readily available to answer all questions, accommodated our rental company with drop off the day before, allowed us to decorate the day before, and helped to prepare a number of other things leading up to the wedding - not to mention everything she did the day of the event, from assisting with parking, to making sure everything was running smoothly. I highly recommend this venue for your wedding, or any event, I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Barn, the people who run it, and the time we had planning/celebrating our wedding! Book now!
