Amazing Place to Have a Wedding!

We had our wedding here in October of 2020! It was perfect- the owner and workers were SO accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. The houses were clean and put together! All of our guests told us it was the best wedding they’ve been to! We loved having everyone stay on site with us and make a weekend out of our wedding rather than an evening. I can’t say enough good things!

We had our annual youth ministry staff retreat at this estate. It’s a way for all of us to bond and finish the year off strong and as you can imagine, the venue is an integral part of the experience. We usually go to a beach house, but that tradition was outvoted in favor of the woods. So that led us here.

Our experience at Deerridge estate was a blessing to say the least. The whole team went above and beyond to take care of our needs from beginning to end. They even mailed one of our staff their forgotten wallet after we left. The house was large, and yet remained cozy, which is an important quality in the winter months. The hot tub and pool table gave everyone something to do when we weren’t rolling around in the snow and the view of the valley was a beautiful backdrop for our morning stretches. I think I speak for everyone when I say that we all left abundantly pleased!

We will certainly be coming back in the future.

The Wedding Venue that has it all!

We are so so grateful to have found Estates by Brophy to host the wedding weekend of our DREAMS!! A beautiful, private property, in the fall, in upstate NY, with comfortable space for many of our guests to stay directly on the property, and many caring, dedicated staff to assist throughout the whole process was exactly what we wanted and more!

Estates by Brophy gives you an incredible back-drop and an almost-blank slate to plan your completely customized wedding. Many traditional wedding venues book multiple weddings a weekend, maybe even multiple per day, and can come with strict rules on event timing, vendor options, quiet hours, etc. At Estates by Brophy, you can get complete privacy, away from other travelers and non-wedding guests, and bring in your own caterers, plan your own timing, and more! That being said, all brides and fellow wedding planners should be aware that the perks of customizability come with more work behind the scenes to plan all the details - so be ready for that if this is your venue pick! I promise it will be worth it!

One of the best parts of our wedding weekend was taking advantage of the variety of spaces for each event. We rented out DeerRidge, Riverview, and a small additional property called the Red and White House, to house about 75 of our closest family and friends throughout the weekend. We had our 100-person Welcome Party at DeerRidge, making use of the indoor common areas and the large outdoor veranda. We rented heat lamps from the property so that some guests could mingle comfortably outdoors. Then we had our ceremony outside at the gorgeous ceremony site by the river (the rain held out for us), cocktail hour outside the Riverview Main House, and the reception at the Riverview Banquet Hall. The flow worked so well and the guests were amazed by the property, especially with views of all the Catskills fall foliage. It was such a privilege to have the whole property to ourselves.

Now to talk about Debbie and Tony. This dream of a weekend wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication, energy, and thoughtfulness of these two amazing humans. Debbie, our wedding coordinator, was so supportive and flexible on different ideas throughout the whole process. She has an eye for design and was able to make up the reception tables and lay out the room exactly as I had envisioned. Tony dedicated many hours of his time to the labor involved, such as arranging the ceremony benches as we wanted them, hanging string lights outside, and moving tables and chairs around the property as we needed them. Both Tony and Debbie were patient and flexible with my needs, as I will admit I was a picky bride, from the first day we met to the actual wedding day, wanting nothing more than for us to be happy. On the day of the wedding, they were there working on all the details before anyone was awake, and were the last ones to leave at the end of the night. Allison was also very helpful with the financials/billing/contract logistics along the way, and Walter was our trusty Kubota driver to help shuttle our guests to the ceremony site.

We highly recommend Estates by Brophy to be your wedding venue!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
