Our team & Services
A dream come true
“We had this dream of combining our love for the Catskills and our home into a majestic and distinct gathering place. We merged the lush beauty of our grounds with bold, inviting event spaces. We scraped, built, planted, and nurtured, forming a talented team that provides genuinely friendly service and great food. And as we have progressed from our first celebrations over fourteen years ago to the unique venue it has become, our dream has come true.”
Hosting events is teamwork
Great events are all about great people
Here’s one of our not-so-secret weapons: we have an absolutely incredible team of 15+ passionate people who live and breathe exceptional events. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, you’ll be working with our talented coordinator, executive chef, pastry chef, and skilled kitchen crew, plus our front-of-house manager and dedicated service team of bartenders, servers, drivers, and organizers.
What really sets our team apart isn’t just their expertise—it’s their genuine warmth and commitment to making your day absolutely perfect. They work seamlessly together to ensure everything flows naturally while executing every detail we’ve planned together.
Food that brings people together
Meet Our culinary Artists
Executive chef Leah Detreville and pastry chef Kristina Ugenti lead our culinary team with an infectious passion for creating delicious, beautiful food sourced from sustainable, local farms. They don’t just cook—they craft experiences that reflect who you are.
Your menu will be a true collaboration with our chef. We’ll spend time talking about your favorite foods, learning about your style, and discovering what makes your celebration unique. For couples, we offer an extensive tasting session before finalizing your menu—because the best way to choose your wedding food is to actually taste it!
We’ve got your back every step of the way
Planning made simple (and fun!)
From the moment you say “yes” to our venue, our executive director Casper de Boer becomes your trusted guide. He’ll provide you with all the planning tools you need and create a fully personalized online planning platform where you can collaborate on every detail of your day. Starting with a detailed timeline, he’ll be there whenever you need help or advice.
Six months before your big day, our wedding coordinator Danyelle Visingard joins your team and stays with you right through the final dance. Our goal? Making wedding planning feel more like an exciting adventure and less like a stressful chore.
Service that feels like family
People who care about the details
Our skilled bartenders take pride in serving craft beers from small Upstate New York breweries, spirits from artisanal distilleries, and carefully selected wines from both old and new world vineyards. They’re not just pouring drinks—they’re crafting experiences.
Our servers bring efficiency and friendliness to every interaction, with keen attention to detail, impeccable cleanliness standards, and thorough knowledge of your menu. They’re the kind of people who notice when someone needs help and step in with a smile.
Throughout your event, our helpful service staff will be there to serve, assist, tidy up, welcome and guide your guests, and even drive them around our beautiful estate. They’re like the best kind of family—always there when you need them.
