Without a doubt, a wedding at Cedar Lakes Estate transforms the ordinary into something quite spectacular. As a planner who helps couples craft personalized events, this estate lets us plan a weekend-long experience rather than a single evening celebration. Set deep in the Hudson Valley, this venue feels remote and exclusive, while the logistics are polished and high quality service is a priority. When you choose Cedar Lakes, you're reserving much more than a wedding venue. You're choosing a place that allows your celebration to feel fully immersive and tailored to what you envision. Your guests can arrive early and enjoy the whole weekend with you, keeping the celebration going the entire time.
At Cedar Lakes Estate, there's plenty of places to spend “getting ready” for the big wedding. Our favorite spot for the bride is the Lakeside Cottage, which feels serene and set apart so there’s still a moment of calm before the day begins. Meanwhile, the groom and his party can gather in one of the nearby cabins with amazing views of the woods or lake. Because the estate is entirely yours for the weekend (with luxury cottages, cabins and houses all on-site), your celebration doesn't feel rushed. Guest lodging, prep rooms and ceremony spaces are all conveniently located in the same gorgeous setting.
One of Cedar Lakes’ best features is the large variety of ceremony locations. You can say "I do" on the mountaintop field of wildflower grasses, or choose the amphitheater-style deck right by the lake, surrounded by spectacular trees. There is also the Winter Garden, which is outdoors, and set beneath 15,000 twinkle lights that make the evening shine. Their newest addition, The Glasshouse, announced in 2025, is a 3,500-sq. ft building that features folding glass doors, a glass atrium ceiling, heated bluestone floors, and a stone fireplace. The Glasshouse serves as a year-round space, so you don't have to worry about the weather for your ceremony (yay)!
When it comes to the reception, Cedar Lakes delivers on both scale and intimacy. The 6,200-sq. ft. barn is a true show-stopper, boasting reclaimed wood walls, floor-to-ceiling glass panels with breathtaking lake views, crystal chandeliers, and a 24-foot prohibition-style bar. The Barn Patio, a 3,000-sq. ft. veranda right by lake is ideal for cocktail hour as the sun sets. Something that makes this venue truly unique is that tables, chairs, glassware and flatware are already included in key site-fee packages, meaning your décor budget can focus on elevated accents rather than basics.
In our experience, the culinary program at Cedar Lakes Estate is a top luxury feature. Their chef-led team sources directly from their on-site garden and local purveyors to create menus that feel elevated and taste delicious.
Unlike venues where you must seek external catering, the food and beverage program here is built in-house, but you’ll want to confirm terms and minimums early.
A few nearby catering options if you wanted external support: local Hudson Valley gourmet catering firms, boutique farm-to-table caterers in Port Jervis and other off-site banquet services that specialize in estate weddings.
Cedar Lakes Estate offers exclusivity (you often have the full property for your weekend), high-end accommodations, and elevated cuisine which makes it a curated experience rather than a one-night event. Every little detail here is designed to your own unique vision.
Planning a wedding at Cedar Lakes Estate feels less like orchestrating a day and more like creating a meaningful weekend full of celebration. We love how its naturally beautiful setting pairs with top-notch service, gourmet food, and full-service luxury lodging. For couples who want their wedding to feel both effortless and elevated, this estate offers something for everyone. When we look back on the weddings we've crafted here, what stands out is the moment guests wake up in a cottage, meet each other for breakfast in the woods, and know they’re part of something beautiful and special. That, to me, is the magic of Cedar Lakes Estate wedding venue, and why we enjoy planning here.
