Our Team & Services
We had this dream to combine our love of the Catskills and of our home into a majestic and distinct gathering place. We combined the lush beauty of our grounds with bold, welcoming event spaces. We scraped and built, planted and grew, and formed a team of talent, providing genuinely friendly service and great food. And as we’ve progressed from our first celebrations, over fifteen years ago, to the unique place it has since become, our dream has come true.

Hosting events is teamwork. One of our secret powers is our amazing staff.
Any event we host, big or small, is in good hands. Our incredible (15+ person) team of coordinator, executive chef, pastry chef and kitchen team, front-of-house manager, and our service team of bartenders, servers, drivers and organizers are at the heart of our successful events. Their collaborative talents, commitment, and genuine kindness are what make our events truly memorable.
Our team ensures your day has a great organic flow, while not missing a beat on everything planned.

Our wedding coordinator
Our planning tools and our full wedding coordination service are an integral part of our operation and all weddings at the estate are coordinated by our professional event coordinator.
Six months before the big day, our event coordinator, Danyelle Visingard, starts with a detailed consultation.
She’ll be available for three to five Zoom or in-person meetings to advice you, solve any hurdles, handle final vendor communications in the lead-up to your big day, and create a visual dinner layout to ensure your reception flows smoothly.
Danyelle helps in guiding the ceremony rehearsal on the afternoon prior to the wedding day, and during the wedding day handles logistics, adjusts and safeguards the timeline, welcomes the wedding party and any external vendors, helps overcome any last-minute challenges that arise, and makes sure you have the best time.

Our culinary team
Our executive chef Leah Detreville, pastry chef Kristina Ugenti, and the rest of our culinary team create menus with a passion for good food and good times. Or as chef Leah states it: “I love creating things that make people happy. And food can do exactly that.”
Creating your menu will be a collaboration between you and our chef. Planning your menu will entail conversations about your favorite foods, and getting to know your personality and style. Couples who have booked their wedding at our place are invited to an extensive tasting before a final menu selection.
Roxbury Barn & Estate’s chef and culinary team provide all your food items, including desserts and an optional wedding cake, late-night snacks, etc.
Our extensive service team
Our skilled bartenders serve craft beers from small breweries in Upstate New York, liquor from craft distilleries, old and New World wines.
Our servers are always efficient and friendly and work with attention to detail, cleanliness, and solid menu knowledge.
Our service staff is always there to serve, help, tidy up, welcome and guide, and drive guests around our estate.
