Mohonk Mountain House

Mohonk Mountain House is a historic mountain resort at 1000 Mountain Rest Road in New Paltz, New York, in the Hudson Valley. It sits beside a lake under cliffs, and weddings here combine gardens, grand indoor rooms and an overnight stay for the wedding party.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

The resort states in its wedding FAQ that it is proud to be a historic wedding location for all couples. It is a strong fit for couples who want a full resort experience with ceremony, dinner and rooms in one place, and who like a traditional setting. A wedding coordinator and a single site keep the day simple to follow, because your ceremony, dinner and rooms are all in one place.

Ceremonies

There are three ceremony spaces. The Formal Gardens and the Mountain View Gardens are outdoors, and the latter is bordered by flowering vine arbors. The Victorian Parlor is indoors, overlooks the lake and cliffs, and acts as the rain location. Weddings of up to 130 guests are hosted, and the smaller Cliff View package suits 25 to 40 guests.

Receptions and food

The culinary team cooks with local ingredients from nearby farms. Packages include an open bar at the cocktail reception, a champagne toast and more open bar during dinner. New York State rules mean the resort must supply all alcohol, so outside drinks are not an option. Local Hudson Valley beers and upgrades are available. Packages are priced by guest count, so ask the weddings team for a quote that fits your plans.

Staying

Couples receive a complimentary overnight stay in a Victorian room with a fireplace and balcony. Standard packages for larger weddings ask guests to reserve rooms for two nights. Other room types include tower rooms, suites and traditional rooms, and accessible rooms are available.
